I'm most worried about Philadelphia. Maxey is a player, and in three weeks they should have their return from the Ben Simmons trade.

I'm still thinking they end up with one of the Kings guards plus something else.

ESPN bottom line said 4-6 weeks, which I think would be a pretty severe sprain. But I couldn't find that online yet.

man harden is going to have to get into shape fast. the rest of that team cant maintain their record the the next month

11 of their next 14 are on the road. So at least they'll have Kyrie available.

They probably have enough talent to keep them a float, but that team is more KD than a big 3. Harden and Kyrie scares no one.

They scare me, but moreso because Harden looks like the boogeyman with his beard and Kyrie thinks the Earth is flat.

Crazy they are right there while shelving a max player. I like Simmons more than most but even if you get an average starter for him, this team become really good really quick. That said, they are two months away from embiids annual injury.

But Giannis doesn't have a history of being a bitch.

Dray out at least two weeks with a "disc issue" that's related to his calf problem. Gotta wonder if that may linger.

I hope Giannis and Jokic figure out a way to play together before their careers are over.

I'd trade everything to get Jokic to Milwaukee.

Grizzlies/Bulls this afternoon could be interesting.

All these Laker fans bitching about Westbrook are the same ones who were ecstatic when they got him. What did they think they were getting? Westbrook is playing like he always has. Why they so surprised?

Lakers would have been so much better off if they would have just taken the Buddy Hield trade instead of messing around with. Russ.

Lebron (once again) let a players' potential marketing appeal cloud his judgement about who he actually plays well with.

I'm sure it has happened before, but was there any other times besides him walking off after the loss and the reporter asked about FA?
Yeah, I dont mind a player being emotional and blowing it off every once in a while. Media has some weird belief they are entitled to ask dumb and personal questions.

I just hate the guys who dont seem to connect the dots that media is part of the game and they aren't just paid $40m to play basketball. You are paid for the entertainment value.
