Our bench is full of spacers. Not worried about spacing.

He obviously doesn't help with spacing, but our team will be sick in transition.



Spacing and half-court offense remain legitimate questions with our team, but if any tandem in the league could come up with creative ways to still be a dynamic top 15-10 offense it will be Gentry and Finch.

I can’t get over this. Absolutely perfect fit IMO. Athletic as hell, can run the floor, can play the 4 or the 5.

The FO just nabbed the best shooter and a double double defensive beast. What a 5 hours.

I mean this is an entire facelift for our franchise, a total rebuild, that will compete right away, I freaking love the moves. The AD deal was a blessing for this franchise!

Watch his highlights vs Bucks. Y’all be pumped on how amazing Favors is. One of the best team players you can ask for. Never complains, does the dirty work and can get you tons of rebounds. Let’s go.

Also, Gobert was getting killed by the Bucks and favors stepped up HUGE.

What more is there to say about David freaking Griffin, huh? He's now turned an unhappy Anthony Davis into: Lonzo, Brandon Ingram, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Josh Hart, the cap space to sign J.J. Redick and trade for Derrick Favors, plus multiple future firsts and seconds.

Plus Jaxson Hayes

remember if we’d stayed at 4 we’d have not had the cap space for favors

Derrick Favors was one of the steadiest finishers in the NBA last season shooting 73% in transition, 69% on cuts, 66% on put backs, and 61% on rolls to the rim.

Dear AD,


When we drafted you, I NEVER would have guessed that the best thing you could do for this franchise would be to leave it

Love,
Mr. Hangover

I like the 4 big rotation of Zion, Favors, Hayes, and Nico. That can compete!
