Chris Boucher needs to be starting and he looks like a steal of a contract.

My first thought when Depalma said he was trading Whiteside was that Portland would get him.

For the Magic - looks like he's all or nothing and Whiteside is fools gold going forward. Good win now player for Smash though.

he is an all or nothing player because he (most likely will take SIM hit). But depalma was a legit finals contender out east and you just never know with injuries. Like Whiteside is legit one of the best players in the SIM. Smash makes the championship play which makes sense...he sold out on Siakam too so totally makes sense. This is his year to win it!

Just thought ORL got a bit of happy feet because of a couple tough losses in a long season and CLE is going to be good for a while and Whiteside legit can dominate a SIM. He just dropped 50

I mean I very much agree with draymond. Todays fan is so tied up with ppg and other stuff. And yes that is downplaying scoring it is the most important part of the NBA especially creating your own shot. But we live in a social media/highlight world where a contested step back jumper is valued more than a good rotation or a easy basket. That play doesn't show up in a stat sheet but point prevention is nearly just as important as scoring.

Read on Twitter

for example see the above. This is such a great read by vassell to basically stop a dunk. That is nearly 2 pts vs 99% of the league. And that play will never show up on a highlight reel.

Even just tagging a defending on a roll or making the right switch or close out doesn't show up on any stat sheet but it leads to winning.

I am listening to offers on these players:

Ricky Rubio: one of the best playmakers in the game for only $6.

Harrison Barnes: is averaging 16, 7 and 3 assists on 50/40 shooting for the Kings, locked up for several years on a $10 contract.

Aaron Gordon: y'all seen how he has improved the last two seasons, he is having his most efficient start to the season yet.

Grayson Allen: One of the best snipers in the sim for a dollar.

My only regret is I traded DeRozan before playing your team... DeRozan was going to drop 50 on your squad after all the slander.

Agreed. Denver can still get in too. Maybe Hez got something up his sleeves for Friday when trades can officially be processed.

For the Warriors, I don’t think that would be Wise man.

Oh heyyyyy Portland. Didn't see you back there. I guess that prompted the move
