As far as I'm aware the three point line in the G-league is the same distance in the National Basketball Association of America*. Can anyone confirm?

I don't know if you're a returning member who lost their password or a completely new one but small touches like referencing the Italian flag to stay in character makes you a top 3 all time poster here.As far as I'm aware the three point line in the G-league is the same distance in the National Basketball Association of America*.

I liked him out of college, but reading up on the Nets forum, he's got some McLemore tendencies. Can't really dribble or put the ball on the deck. Also lacks bball IQ on both ends and tends to lose confidence in himself.Had a surprisingly good rookie year, then what I'm trying to find out is why he never got back into the rotation this season. Started 23 games, 20 MPG last year, but nothing this year.
And I do recall he had a few stand-out games and has tremendous length on the wing. Think he's a developmental buy-low piece at a premium position as opposed to someone who can step in right away and help
Nets received the rights to David Michineau in the trade that sent Kessler Edwards and the infamous cash considerations to Sacramento. Michineau was the Pelicans 39th pick in the 2016 draft, then traded to the Clippers, then traded to Kings as part of a 4-team deal last season.

Was listening to 1140 on my way home and the guys were talking and they said they didn’t even know if he had played any minutes this seasonHearing nothing but good things about his defense. Sounds like he hasn't gotten a lot of burn with his current team.
Watching Nets tape and man—Kessler Edwards really jumps out.

The rook displayed beautiful shot blocking instincts and an impressive streak of physicality (watch him hang w Giannis) at 6’8 200lbs. Put up 3 3PA/gm in 20min and hit a decent clip w a pretty release. Exciting year 2! pic.twitter.com/c4qNRBTP0Z

I think this could be a good buy low trade. If it doesn't work out, we're not losing anything at all
There has been much speculation as to my true identity. Some are certain I'm Mark Jones. Some have speculated Bricklayer (who may long to return but perhaps could never do so under his old name out of pride). There is a rumor VF21 hasn't actually passed on, but wished to leave her moderator duties behind and couldn't think of any other way to do so. Others simply revel in the mystery and enjoy the show.
Whatever your take, my aim is to entertain, so it pleases me greatly to read your response.

p.s. - On a personal note, I'm having a wonderful private dinner tomorrow night with friends at a hot dog stand run by a gourmet Italian chef in his 80s who does private dinners at night, including for the movie crews that have been shooting lately in the town. $45 bucks a person for a four course dinner and bring your own vino. If you can identify where this is and the name of the hot dog stand, I will reveal my true identity to you in dm's - and trust you with our secret - because if you know where this is I know you are a person of great integrity.
we got cash and the player most likely to see an NBA court for some guy who is a trade footnote though, that's a pretty solid deal given what I think of TPE's in general. Not to mention it this TPE is from Bagley's deal as some have speculated and we still have 4 million and a top 55 protected second rounder to get another player after we trade Holmes lol ok I am getting way ahead of myself...
I have a feeling if we plan on moving Holmes we might have to provide some sweetener which would mean we could then use the TPE, or we could just cut Len if we got Plumlee and wanted something other than a backup big.We don't have a roster spot though, unless we do a 2-1 kind of deal, or make another move to free up one. Let's see what Monte can do. Dallas made the West a lot tougher.
I loved the kid in the draftWho is Kessler Edward's?
Maybe we learned something from the Raptors, just put a bunch of long defenders out there to clog passing lanes and contest shots. Our starting unit can score on anyone, so have the lengthy bench come in and waste some time. Monk, TD, KZ, Kessler, Lyles? That's pretty lengthy, except Lyles, but maybe Plumlee might be a target?

I'm not really sure what Dallas has done. And since they seem intent to move more pieces it's hard to say where they are headed. Right now I don't know where their defense is gonna come from, but I guess Kings have proven somewhat that you can win a shootout.
They got their second star but they gave up their two best defensive players. It feels like they are doing the LA Lakers team approach, and they have also been burning future assets and giving away talent to get rid of failed acquisitions like KP.Dallas was missing a second star, and Irving provides that. They also get elite ball handling shared between two guys, one of whom can almost always be on the floor. Plus, either can lead the team in a crunch.
My guess is that Doncic stays their #1, both because he's been there, and is currently a better overall player. However, Irving has the personality to lead if required. He's played second fiddle to guys like Bron and Durant (though perhaps not very happily), and might be okay with not being the alpha on the team.
There are always risks when you add a major piece, particularly one with a controversial personality like Irving. Teams will always like to load up on talent though. Let's see how it fits.
I don't know what the future holds for Kessler Edwards but I know he's a dawg - sonned by Giannis on one possession, then gets back at him on the next two: pic.twitter.com/rTXnnSI0Oc

That Kessler Edwards trade to Sacramento was completed using the draft rights to Clippers summer league legend David Michineau!!!

Way late, but just finished Nets-Bulls from last week and loved Kessler Edwards' defense for the most part.

Plays with active hands, lively feet and quick hips, and moves incredibly well at 6-foot-7: pic.twitter.com/xK0FiGExSc
Kessler Edwards has veto rights on any trade this season since he re-signed with the Nets last offseason for only one guaranteed season.

By accepting this trade, Edwards' Early Bird rights will be reduced to Non Bird, limiting what the Kings could re-sign him to this summer. https://t.co/7MM74LeyEA

What a disaster of a draft that was for the Clippers. Truly deserving of an F grade in hindsight. Blunder after blunder, Brice Johnson with Siakam and DeJounte Murray on the board.I don't know what the future holds for Kessler Edwards but I know he's a dawg - sonned by Giannis on one possession, then gets back at him on the next two: pic.twitter.com/rTXnnSI0Oc

I would love to have that problem.Good, I was worried that if we sent the obligatory top 55 protected 2nd round pick, it could convey, since we may slip into the top 5 best records in the NBA.![]()
