Moral of the story, get the pick swap from the team Brad Beal plays for, not the team he just left. He’s a great tank commander.


The Clippers without Kawhi/Harden may be on paper the worst team in the West so maybe there is still a chance the Suns will be bad, given they lost the last game to the Clippers by 27. Although it is a bit disconcerting that they beat the Spurs while holding Wemby to 9 points.

Dallas, Brooklyn, Utah, Charlotte all losing tonight. Games still ongoing, but it's looking like getting our asses handed to us yet again does nothing but maintain our standing in the race for last.

Is there a catch phrase yet in the chase for Peterson? Stop carin' for Darryn. Best I can come up with.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Caleb Wilson looking pretty good. I need to convince myself that I'd be good with him after another tank season gives us the number 6 pick.



Peterson highlights from the same game -

Mixed feelings on both guys. Caleb is very active on D. He goes aggressively for loose balls and rebounds. His jumper looked surprisingly good. He made a couple of MJ turnaround fadeaways from midrange. On the other hand he is pretty weak physically and his handles are definitely suspect. Not sure where to place him now.

Peterson looked good but somewhat disengaged, like 'Im just here because i have to be'. I got a similar vibe from Harper last season. NBA body already. Looked good from 3 and driving. Didnt show much playmaking though.
