For anybody who doubts the improvements to Sacramento roster - the Rockets just waived a guy who started 24 games for the Kings last season.

Poor Marvin. Dude just can't seem to stay healthy.

Just yesterday I was reading an interview with Bagley and it really seemed like he'd started to figure things out and bought into the role that the Pistons needed him to play, which was good to hear.
Hopefully that injury wasn't as bad as it looked.
Dudes with his athletic profile/measurables and defensive activity rarely fail. We're probably going to be asking "How'd he fall to 17??" in 3 years

Yeh, you hate to see that for Marv.
I was asking that on draft night.
I was hoping we'd deal Holmes to Charlotte for #15 and change to nab him.
I'm already asking that right now.
It really is as simple as him being a big wing with dominant physical characteristics in a league with very few of that archetype. That was one major reason I wanted Murray>Ivey. You don't find 6'9 dudes with his skill-set very often.
Look at the opportunity KZ is getting because he's a big wing that plays defense with basically no offensive game. It's such a needed asset to win in today's league, Brown is probably going to start him, even though he's been a replacement level player his whole career. If you have a chance to take the archetype, you do it.
Now if Draymond were the 50th overall pick rookie.... would that dude be getting the same treatment?
It's hilarious how every sport just doesn't care what a player does off the court, as long as he's still good at the game.

... which means the Ime Udoka situation is probably much worse than we all thought. If sucker punching your teammate in practice can be forgiven this easily.

I still can’t believe there wasn’t a major injury. Either Green has light hands or Poole has a jaw of steel. The shot looked devastating from a distance

Draymond lunged, Poole rolled some. Less power on the lunge, rolling mitigated some of the impact (like when you twist your ankle in a hoops game and just fall over to lessen the severity).

Reading tea leaves, the majority of the dubs were behind Dray. Poole has been getting a big head. Not saying they were advocating for Green to punch him, but they def wanted someone to check him.

not a reason to punch someone unexpectedly regardless of ego.

How do you bruise an MCL? I've never even heard of that.
I am relieved for him. I think he's a classic case of listening to how great he is from those around him and not focusing on his weaknesses. Hopefully the new setting will help him see his path to being a viable NBA player.
Makes me cringe a little when I think back to the summer before his rookie year and he pick himself as the MVP when ask by a reporter

This is just a time table for the doctors to look at his knee again. Him actually playing again is going to be weeks later.
