Chet is cooking too. He looks like he is the second best player on the team already after SGA. All about health of course

Chet was my favorite player in last years class. Loved how hard he competes, despite his slender frame. And of course all the unicorn abilities at his size too

Hey, at least he's a full step or two up on the morality scale from Kevin Porter Jr.!

Salute to AI. He's one of the few oldheads who's always shown love to the younger players, so I'm happy to see how his second act seems to be playing out.

Also, Kiss been that dude for a quarter century.

That differed payment about to start kicking on for him.

Kiss' self proclaimed top 5 DOA has plenty of merit, his raps and albums get better the more the years pass

Wemby looking fantastic even without 3s falling

I'm buying all that Portland Trailblazers stock right now. Scoot is the real deal. A supporting cast of Simons, Thybulle, Grant, Ayton, Robert Williams, Shaedon Sharpe, and Kris Murray looks like a really nice young group to build with -- some scorers, some defensive role-players, a lot of chances to find a second star. And on top of that they still have Malcolm Brogdan as either a veteran mentor or a trade chip. I don't know that their record this year will reflect it, but in the near future I anticipate them becoming a significant rivalry for us in the Western Conference. San Antonio needs to figure out the PG position but they have an interesting young core too. I don't have the same level of respect for the rebuilding efforts in Houston and OKC or the veteran-led all-in teams in LA and Phoenix.

Welp. There goes whatever was left of Josh Jackson’s career.

My best memory of Josh Jackson was a tweet claiming that the Kings (Vlade) were fine with De’Aaron being the guy at 5, but were infatuated with Josh Jackson. Thank you Suns for going full Vlade with the 4 pick.

Calvin Booth going with the bold “well we didn’t want that guy anyways. He sucks ass!” Strategy. I’m sure agents love this.

Buddy still untradeable even as an expiring contract

Why are the Rockets so intent on burying Amen and Jalen behind like ten different vet guards who have absolutely no long term future with the Team?

 

[kingsboi]

I'd like to applaud Derrick White for no longer accepting his Jermaine O'neal hairline and shaving it off. takes some courage to make that move, let's see if he sticks with it.

so either KOC completely fabricated a bunch of fake quotes for his piece on Denver or Calvin Booth did not think he was on the record when he decided to talk crap about people on his actual roster lol

*Tim Duncan and KG were centers for most of their careers. Whoever managed to convince the basketball world they weee actually PFs deserves a statue.

The Jordan Poole hero balling his way through the season on a terrible team agenda off to a good start. Guy has 41 points through three quarters against the Knicks.

 

[Tetsujin]

why does this Wizards team have so many vets on it? Bilal already having to fight for minutes with Deni, Kuzma, and Kispert and now also has to contend with Gallinari and Taj Gibson too.

 

[Tetsujin]

This Nets team is a fun collection of guys but they just need some sort of (any sort of) star to put their collection of Mikal and plus role players around. At the very least they should trade us DFS for a second round pick.

the Spurs got Wemby and have sorta coasted since then

I like this a ton for them. If Collins is finally healthy, dude has a real chance to be a real impact player. I've loved him since that draft and he's finally showing some of that 2-way skill-set. And especially if he still allows them to stretch the floor on offense, but keeps Wemby from having to defend the super big boys at the 5. And he can just play free safety and roam for weakside rim protection.

The issue for me is that he’s had like two relatively healthy seasons since coming into the league and hasn’t really shown himself to be capable of defending big bigs either. The Spurs now have like 200 million dollars tied up in Johnson, Vassell, and Collins, which I guess they could package up for a deal for a big name player but they aren’t really anywhere in position for that and they have too much dead money on their books to take on contracts for assets right now at the same time.
