Ben Simmons on the back of a milk carton?

I still don't understand what David Griffin is trying to do.That is definitely a good number for Jonas — who I thought was the most underrated player in the league last year. He’s excellent. but extending him before he plays a minute with Zion strikes me as a weird choice given the potential fit question on the interior. https://t.co/R5KuZHYn8U

Lol the Cavs are the anti-Kings. Three bigs and two point guards.#Cavs starting five for opening night: Darius Garland, Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen

The cap’s gonna skyrocket in years four and five on the deal though. And the choice was five years or no yearsJames Jones on @BurnsAndGambo said a 5-year max to Deandre Ayton was not something the Suns were interested in for a multitude of reasons and it ultimately came down to it not being a preference from a roster construction standpoint.

Poor Zion man. Just wants to be a chubby legend like most of us, but just happened to be able to jump out of the gym at 275+

Zion's fatness is making the Pelicans implode.
One less competitor out in the West as far as I'm concerned. Now, if Phoenix, Portland, and the Lakers could also implode that'd be great too.
(Not Dallas though, since I'm in the business of wanting Vlade to look bad every second of every day.)

Unfortunately, Jason Kidd is their coach now so it's a matter of when not if.

Oh, right. I forgot about that.
Come to think of it, I'm looking at the West and it's just in a lot of turmoil.
L.A. Clippers: Kawhi out
Spurs; Lost best player and were already a fading 10th seed.
Portland: Billups hire, Dame drama in the offseason.
Dallas: Kidd hiring, Luka has to carry as usual.
Phoenix: Ayton drama. Sarver being Sarver after waking from his slumber, overachieved?
OKC and Rockets: Rebuilding
Timberwolves: Rosas firing, KAT unhappy? Are the Timberwolves.
Pelicans: Zion is fat and injured, and will remain fat and injured. Also might want out.
Memphis: No drama really, okay roster but nothing spectacular.
L.A. Lakers: Dinosaur roster in more ways than one.
GSW: Not really different than last year. Klay's still out, Draymond's still washed, and Steph still carries.
Looking at this, the only teams I can say are absolute locks are Denver and Utah. I'd still say with like 95% confidence that teams like the Lakers and Blazers make it, but eh... could be muddied a bit.
Sure we have our own Bagley drama, but that's a fringe player. It just seems a lot of cornerstones caused a lot of drama or shakeup at the same time.
