Doc Rivers & Daryl Morey looking into the camera and saying: “we’re really excited where we’re at … Drummond is a big pickup for us.” with a straight face is why Media Day is the best.

by all means, Jason Kidd, keep the ball out of Luka’s hands for some reason.Jason Kidd says he expects Kristaps Porzingis to start at power forward, not center. Wants Porzingis to “be a basketball player” — feel free to put the ball on the floor, take midrange shots and “not be limited to shooting 3s.”

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., has agreed on a five-year designated max extension that could be worth up to $207 million, his agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN.

on the plus side, this makes a trade for a big star a little easier. On the other side, I can’t imagine a rebuilding team wanting to take on a single 5 year 200 million do,lar contract to start off a big rebuild.

KAT deserves to play for a stable franchise. Buddy/Bagley/a pick for KAT.

Just imagine there’s an alternate reality somewhere where the Kings stay at 7 or even fall, end up getting their guy, being better for it in the long run, and Vlade’s maybe even still here. Lol

That’s another alternate reality I dream about. But this is the one where that option was never even close to the table, and we’d all be so much mentally healthier for it.

forgot the Lakers brought back Rondo too. That is a hell of a lot of ballhogging with minimal shooting ability.
Until he spun the ball there at the end I thought that Rondo was a wax mannequin.

-Draft Deandre Ayton over Luka Doncic
— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) October 5, 2021
-Watch Doncic become a superstar
-Watch Ayton become a walking double-double who can also play D
-Refuse to pay Ayton his market value
It's ended up working out as OK as it possibly can after passing on Luka. You can't screw it up now!
