That's Toronto's fault for over-valuing OG and refusing to trade him while his value was at his highest. They simply waited too long and now the return doesn't move any needle for them.


We’ll see. The play is that IQ can become a Pg. if he does, he could be a really great get. If he doesn’t, then he becomes a small SG and his value plummets. RJ’s a playable guy but often hurts as much as he helps and is an albatross on the books. OG was leaving either way, but it’s still a risk for Toronto.

Masai's asking price for OG last year was Trey Murphy, Dyson Daniels and minimum 2 first round picks lol

Not shot the Pelicans were ever entertaining that.

Current crop of SGs are soon to be...another example of NBA "dinosaurs". Like BIG post down low 5s already are...natural evolution. Basically, current SGs need to learn to become a bit more of a PG. Many are already making the transition.

LeBron is questionable vs. the TWolves tonight. I think we all know what that means. He's saving himself for Sunday vs. the Pels. He and Griff must really hate each other for him to do this every time.

He's been questionable with a knee since the Charlotte game. I don't think it has anything to do with the Pelicans.

They also are listing James with a “non-covid illness” along with the knee injury.

Saw something about Mitchell Robinson being out for the year with an injury potentially

Always a baw I follow due to him playing high school baw in Chalmette

He’s also been a trade target from our front office in the past

Detroit is up by 6 on the Raptors early in the 4th quarter. Is today the day?

UPDATE: The Pistons are up 11 with 5:50 left!

Yea. I think they win this one. The way they played against Boston made me think their losing streak wasn't going to last much longer. They've finally found the mix and combination of players that works.

And they finally got Jalen Duren back from injury. He's been a big factor.

And the Raptors are missing the guys they just traded, without yet getting the guys they traded for.

Crap. The Wolves are up by 1 on the Lakers late in the 2nd, and Anthony Edwards just turned his ankle and went to the locker room.

EDIT: I guess he's OK. He's back in the game.

Perfect. The Lakers lose and both Davis and LeBron finish with over 38 minutes played.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, but it did turn out this way.

Lakers will be pissed tomorrow. That was a crazy game. Pels need to be ready.

Wouldn’t be surprised if LeBron and/or Toni take the night off tomorrow.
