As I expected the 2020 draft class was really underrated.

Luka is shooting 9% from 3 this year. 2-21

I would say julius randle but I don't know if they can afford him since we already have all their picks.

They can unprotect the 2023 pick and give us another.

Don't forget the pick swaps

Rumor was Julius was interested b/c he's from there and they weren't for some reason, which doesn't make sense b/c they have multiple stretch bigs which would compliment him well.

Okay. Give us all the pick swaps. I'm not greedy.

He missed but Hakeem would have been proud of that footwork by Kawhi.

These blowouts are boring af. NBA your product has been trash this season, I don't know what it is but these games aren't entertaining

he'll never have a good 3PT % while he's the lead ball handler IMO. Takes a lot of crappy step backs, especially as the clock winds down or in crunch time, and he's not a good enough shooter to get that level of green light

he needs to learn from Lebron. Take it when they give it to you

Melo still screaming after rebounds. Never gets old

I wonder how much the 14 second shot clock after the offensive rebound factors into that. It speeds the game up and naturally increases the number of possessions, so with the amount of 3s being taken, it might contribute to making these games even more volatile than before. I'm no statistician, just thinking out loud.

Adam Silver has completely diluted the product through the years. Analytics have also played a major role (not that they're to blame, they just are what they are and they're impossible to ignore if you want to win).

Still close to .500 TS% with those free throws. Getting to the line is so important.

And Reddish has become a solid contributor with a ton of room to grow

NBA media needs to stop pretending that was a heist

It could be but it feels like the games in the bubble were way more competitive than this and it was the same rules. These 30-40-50 point blowouts are ridiculous now
