We could probably easily get Sabonis and it would raise our floor. I just think we’d become the Kings. 2 things I do like about him, limitations aside. Availability and no off the court horseshite.

In the end, Atlanta still can't play any defense.

And Dyson offensively will be a black hole for any team. You need 4 shooters around him for it to work

I’d just like to say I called Okongwu the perfect 5 for this team over a year ago and I had someone arguing with me that his volume was too low and we didn’t really know if he could shoot. You don’t buy after they breakout, that’s their most expensive price. You buy when there is uncertainty, gets you a discount. If I was GM, the Pels would have made the playoffs.

Watching Dyson play 1 on 3 defense leading to multiple misses only for his teammates to give up offensive rebounds was like watching a Pelicans game.

Frustrating that we couldnt get okongwu. But it took him a while to start shooting.

Hopefully Missi can be that guy. He's got a nice ft release. I think the next 2 years will be around boxing out and anchoring a defense.

Watching these Mavs...if...Kyrie had not blowed out his knee...they woulda made a solid run in the playoffs.

They could easily be better than the Lakers...at this time next year...and folks will very likely look at the Luka/AD trade a bit differently than they do at the moment.

Watching the blowout in OKC. Had a graphic on the bottom says biggest blow out was 58 point den vs cha. So I guess there's that at least lol

Quite a surprise to see Minnesota getting no calls tonight against the Lakers. Though they are not helping by playing like shite.

I'd be more excited about the remaining Milwaukee pick swaps (from the Jrue trade) if the Pels weren't such a mess right now. It feels like they're about to blow things up. The Pels sucking likely makes them more open to the idea.

Kind of confusing how Miami wouldn’t trade Ware or Jaime and they’re barely getting any minutes. Maybe Jimmy was right leaving this org.

Miami just said “Hold my beer.”

Cleveland is kicking the everloving shite out of them. They only have 38 points in the 3rd.

The Hornets team that lost to Denver by 58 in the playoffs might be off the hook!

Lakers looking like they're ready to just go ahead & lose this game 5...& go to the house...even though the Wolves pretty much suck.
