  1. Yeah... he needs one. They did it for Jonathon Simmons and Gary Neal after a few summer league breakout games. Unless he's got some character issues, I don't see why they wouldn't add him either on the minimum or as a two way. They have the roster spots. He may have played his way out of a two way, actually.
  2. I'm not as high on him as you are, but I do think he's going to be a special player. I don't see either of those two in him. Lebron was a physical freak of nature since he was like 12 years old. Bird was an offensive machine with impeccable instincts. Flagg is one of those guys where the ball just somehow always magically finds him. I don't know how much of an offensive mismatch he's going to be, but I do know that he is going to impact the game pretty much everywhere. John Havlicek was the best comp I could come up with - a guy who does everything and impacts winning everywhere. Dallas is going to be an interesting rebuild. Before the inexplicable Doncic disaster, I thought Nico Harrison did an unbelievable job remaking that roster. They had a bad cap situation, very little draft capital, and he shrewdly managed to put together a team that made it to the finals. Other than the Grant Williams deal (that he quickly rectified), he made one great move after another. He took a relatively terrible roster that was a poor fit around Luka and completely remade it. I thought he was one of the best GM's in the league until he temporarily went insane.
  3. I kinda liked Wesley but he was going to get buried after they drafted Harper. They needed another big and they needed three point shooting and Olynyk gives them both. They can also move his contract if they want to do something bigger later in the season. Really nice move by the spurs. Three roster spots still open and they have some money to play with. I don’t think they’re done. Adding another solid vet who can shoot wouldn’t hurt my feelings.
  4. No more Branham. Thank god.
  5. And the inability to re-sign Karl Anthony Townes. You forgot that you gave that up in the trade, too, although you did get Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. I still wonder what kind of assets they could have put around KAT and Edwards with more picks and more cap flexibility.
  6. It's a great question. Utah is either dumping salary to facilitate more trades for picks or going after a free agent. Between this, the Sexton trade and the Clarkson buyout, I would have to say it's the former but I'm not sure exactly why. I get that they are clearing the decks for their young players to get more playing time, but they already have so many young players and picks that acquiring more doesn't seem to portend that much more marginal of an improvement. I don't know how much more they can bottom out (worst record in the league last year) or why or what they are going to do with even more picks. What was the whole point in extending Markannan? The Jazz turned Sexton, Clarkson and Collins into Jusuf Nurkic, Kyle Anderson, Kevin Love and a second round pick. Austin Ainge era off to a booming start.
  7. I hope we don’t end up with buyers remorse passing on VJ Edgecombe. I know everyone considers Harper on another tier but VJ is at a different level athletically and is going to be tremendous defensively. He and Maxey are going to be the most dynamic backcourt in the league.
  8. You ever listen to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the Seventies" weekend? It's my personal favorite.
  9. Anybody want to take a stab at ranking the west right now? Tier 1: OKC, DEN, HOU Tier 2: MIN, LAC Tier 3: DAL (I'd have them tier 2 with a healthy Kyrie), LAL, GSW Tier 4: MEM, SAC, SAS, POR, PHX Tier 5: NOLA, UTAH
  10. He played decently well when Chris Paul was riding him and setting him up in Phoenix. Maybe Luka and LeBron can get him going a bit.
  11. I'm with you on this. I'm no lawyer, but I don't see how this is going to stand up in court. Unless there is some sort of collective bargaining agreement with the players, this is some sort of restraint of trade bullshit.
  12. Never seemed like Mamu got enough of a chance, but we will always have that game against the Knicks with Flavor Flav in the house.
  13. Yabusele to Knicks. Need some more front court help/beef.
  14. Denver is having a spectacular off season. If Bruce Brown isn't washed and they can generally stay healthy, I think they're the best team in the league. I can't believe Milwaukee is eating $22 million for the next five years on Lillard just so they can sign Myles Turner. This is some bonkers shit.
