Hotlanta it is

There is some interesting stuff there. Haven’t really looked much into him aside from a few highlights. How do you think he will best utilize that size? Can he be successful in ways that frank wasn’t?

I suppose but part of the reason they would move off him is because of poor fit with Zion. I guess I’m skeptical that a Banchero/Wagner/ Ingram wing trio would work well. Insanely talented though so who knows

I keep seeing the Magic connected with forwards, I don’t get it. Are they planning on starting Paulo at center? I suppose they could start Franz at the 2 but he isn’t a very good shooter.

yeh he probably won’t be available at our pick.

he’d be a great second round pick. Draft and stash would be perfect given we likely won’t have roster space anyway.

I have not watched him enough to have an opinion but the consensus I’ve seen online from Pistons fans is they see him as a bench big. They aren’t happy with his defense and his “brick hands” on offense. Doesn’t mean they are right but interesting nonetheless.

I’ve cooled a bit on TDS as well with the main reason being he doesn’t offer a different style, mind set or skill we don’t already have among our role players. That’s why DC (motor/mentality)and Tyson (skill set) are currently my top two realistic candidates. D Holmes would probably make that...

Bud and Ham sitting in a tree

if I’m reading the CBA right he is eligible for an extension. The nba year ends June 30th so we could make the the trade contingent on an extension being worked out.

Yeh I’m really not sure. I think we are a team hovering around 50 wins just like a lot of the teams in the West and that at least gives you a chance. I think I like the deals because you still retain all your future picks and you can pivot if need be. If we are a top 8 defense next year and we...

I don’t think you can use Brown’s time in Toronto as evidence of what kind of impact he could make on a good team. They openly tried to trade him and then tanked the rest of the season. He was an elite role player in Denver and would be playing with a similar player in Domas here.

I think it depends. Monte probably either needs to believe in his core (Fox, Sabonis, Keegan) and build complimentary pieces around them or determine the top end talent is not good enough and move Keegan and picks for a star (one might guess I don’t love this option). These two trades allow us...

Late night trade idea Kings trade Davion + KVon Raptors trade Bruce Brown Why for the kings? Upgrade wing defense with a guy who does enough on offense and brings championship experience. why for the raptors? They prefer getting players back and got close to trading Siakam to us for some...

“ I thought our guys played a pretty good 18 today. Our goal is 9 sprays to the green and we did a better job of that on the back nine. Vivek did some good things out there. I thought Monk chipped pretty good today. You can go on down the line. Monte, Wes had some nice straight line drives...
