I love the way he plays and that he can score 20+ on anybody easily. Other factors of his game I prefer not to comment on... ha ha ha...

I just read the article on next year's class and it seems like it is a very deep, plenty of quality group of players... If the Pelicans have a weak season or if the Bucks finally break it up (now or during the season), we could end up selecting a fantastic player next summer again.

This is correct, and why the talking heads were blasting NOP for making the trade. That pick is so valuable it may be the catalyst in a Giannis trade to the Hawks...

I would like for us to sign him.

We won't be able to give him 10 shot attempts per game but we can do 5.

I had 24/7 Sanford and Son on tv yesterday because I feel like we're Movin' On Up.

The off-season has been great so far.

But I concur. Things are definitely looking up. (We're overdue for a long stretch of competence in the front office.)

Ty Jerome had a great RS and first and second PO rounds.
Then he was abused by the Pacers, as he could not keep up with the quickness and physicality of Nemhard, Mathurin, McConell, Nesmith and Halliburton. He is supposed to play against second units but, in this particular case, he was one of the reasons the Pacers got to the Finals. A step shorter, saldly, but everybody in the league fell short. The Pacers would have probably won the Finals if not for those long calves Halliburton has...

Cleveland yesterday did a solid move to get Ball who, if healthy in the important moments of the season, is a real improvement and make them a much better team. Not because he is a far better player than Garland, but because he is much more of a game creator and physical presence, who can fill the weak points of Mitchell (not many) and can dictate the pace better. With Allen and Mobley, the rhythm at which the team should play is slower than the one Garland usually plays.

So I believe we are right now the best two teams, roster wise, in the East, but one should take into account that both Knicks and Pacers played the Eastern Finals and are the ones to beat.

I'm still waiting to see who the knicks get to run their team next season.

If they get Budenholzer or Taylor Jenkins, they may finally have what it takes to get back to the NBA Finals.

Another three point threat that is capable of making 100 threes a season with only a handful of shot attempts per game.

Huge plus for us if we get him.

We need to stay away from role players that expect to dominate the ball and have double digit shot attempts.

Dorian Finney-Smith would be a good second option now that he's a free agent.

NAW is apparently one of the better poa perimeter defenders in the league. If so, he's a real two way player and yet another one that would fit really well with Trae.
