Bam could have put Cuz out to pasture if he so chose. He’s playing passive AF though.

Looks like me & pdxkingsfan were the only ones who cared about Frank in that thread.
What's been up with his inefficiency this year? I haven't been watching them at all.

A player leaving the kings and playing better all of a sudden?
Yeah, he’s not the first and won’t be the last

Lots of dudes look amazing next to CP3A player leaving the kings and playing better all of a sudden?
I would hate to be a Timberwolves fan right now. Being horrible, not having their own pick and passed on Lamelo for a far inferior prospect just because you already had Russel. The funny thing is that as a rookie Lamelo is already a better player than Russel and Russel is on a huge horrible contract.
Also I would love if in the prospect evaluation, "tools" wouldnt only mean muscles or athletisism. Basketball IQ is a tool and one would argue that its the most important tool (at least if you had just enough athletisism to get by aka some size and ability to move). As long as tools means how muscular or how hight the guy jumps, guys like Edwards get drafted way too high just because they can dominate boys in school with pure strength without having one andvaced read pass on their college tape.

Yes and they should do everything they can to make sure they keep that pick, although if they keep it their 22 pick will become unprotected to Warriors so not a great situation.

How infuriating is it that they paid the Warriors a top pick to take Wiggins’ awful contract away, and what do you know... in addition to the pick, Wiggins suddenly isn’t useless.
I hate the Warriors.
Loved that play by Carmelo Anthony. As a self-proclaimed "player" fan, I enjoy seeing guys get redeemed, after they get "broken down," and humbled. Especially when I don't particularly believe that they needed to be humbled in the first place.

People are saying Achilles but it looked more like he was grabbing his calf (which is connected to the Achilles and to Harry’s reconstructed knee ligaments so not exactly encouraging either).
Prayers up...

The non-contact injury part is what I fear for him the most. I hope he catches a break here...

they need a Marc Gasol replacement so now they just need a Kawhi clone and they are back in contention

Deni had two in the last ten seconds of the game alone
If the game were any closer, I'd have figured he was shaving points.
In what sense would you say that Andre Drummond is a replacement for Marc Gasol, besides being big?

in no sense. I was trying to create humor out of Masai trying to keep the Raptors relevant

John Wall doesn't believe in passing in the 4th qtr. All those losing years in Washington taught him nothing. Just the threat that he might pass to an open man could make his own scoring a little easier. Just saying.

ouch. you don't have to come at my guy in that way. He is a scoring point guard first and foremost and distributor second. I have to admit his handles have not been very sturdy since his two year absence, very loose.

Benny Mac was wide open calling for the ball in the last minutes several times and Wall wouldn't pass it. Full disclosure, I have a soft spot for McLemore, so I might be the only person in the country watching that game thinking Ben should be taking shots at the end.
