Nice to see Markelle Fultz really come into his own.

This is the Fultz I remember watching leading into the 2017 draft.


When is he going to be a free agent? And why does he look like Dame Lillard?

Gives me hope (like an idiot) for DSJ


Fultz is in a good situation and place for him right now. DJSr isn't. Question is there a situation and place that could turn Smith into Fultz? Not sure.

According to @KevinOConnorNBA, the Wolves are NOT done making trades. They are interested in acquiring another primary ballhandler.

Just like death and taxes...Kyrie blaming his teammates for losing. I mean even Marbs didn't go calling players out to the media, all Marbs did was roll his eyes and do the towlie thing.

I have a feeling we're trading for Covington... IDK how to feel. Love Covington as a player but doesn't really move the needle for us.

I mean, he's a quality starter on a decent contract

It really depends on what we get him for

We know from Begley, they have interest in at least DSJ and I believe in previous seasons they had interest in Frank..

We have the matching expiring salaries to attach to DSJ or Frank.

We have "extra 1sts" that I do think they're willing to deal.

We have the report that the Knicks aren't looking for just picks, but guys who can be long term starters. Covington fits that bill and is the level of player we can reasonably attain with what we have.

Yes it's out of thin air but us and Minnesota make A LOT of sense as trade partners IMO.

yeah I agree. I wouldn't give up Frank for him with where our team is at... But ellington/DSJ and maybe the worse of the Mavs 1st's. Can't say I would totally hate that tbh.

Prob Minnesota. I’d imagine they give him full reign since they have no PG. If it doesn’t work out for him over there then he is g league bound

Well, I hope you're right if it's for DSJ.
