We get the 8.8 million if we land the #1 pick...I’ll gladly take that low number if it means we get Zion. Then as sauce said, move Warren for more space if you want. More likely, we’ll have 11-12 million in space...if we trade down, like I think we should, that could go up to 15 million. There are ...

Dallas be tanking for Z.

Ayton has had some really nice moments on both ends. Doesn’t have many rebounds but I still think this is one of his best games this season. I think an engaged Ayton is a phenomenal player that you can build around...just like you could with an engaged Dwight Howard. So the secret is to make Ayton ...

Sign David Griffin and get out of the way. Only way to salvage this heaping pile of crap. OK. What has David Griffin done? LeBron was a gift. Everything else was in place already. All he did in Cleveland was cave to Rich Paul and give stupidly large contracts to mediocre players because LeBron want...

Josh Jackson goes from starting at sg one game to pf the next.

I thought Miami got off the hook for Bosh’s contract because it was determined he couldn’t play?

They do not have to pay it, but it still counts against their cap. Even dead players count against the cap.

Booker is out again tonigh. If Anthony Davis would commit to resigning with us, I wouldn’t hesitate to make a package including Booker for him and Jrue Holiday. What's the point of even talking about Anthony Davis trades? He doesn't want to be here, and they are 97% done trading him to the Lakers. ...

We need something radical or we gonna suck for years. Trade for AD and Holiday. Our picks are way better than anything the Lakers can offer. The Hornets would probably take on Anderson's contract, because they are going to focus on the draft for now and not free agency. He will be done after the su...

Assuming you just mean from 3, since Book has been so awful this year. But overall, they still are not close. eFG is 51 to 46 this season.

Yes. From three. This year.

Brogdon would be nice, but I think the chances are very low Milwaukee doesn’t match. I’m pretty meh on Rubio. He provides defense and playmaking, but that shot is a killer. I don’t know if Rozier is just unhappy, I think he’s easily gettable, but he’s not playing well. Rose is kinda interesting, hi...

I was just looking at Smith's stats again. He gets more assists than I thought/feared, and his 3pt% is passable at .375, but his FT% is worse than I thought, at .681. He scores 12.6 ppg in 27.7 mpg. He's probably better than any of our current PGs as an asset. Not sure if he really fits here. I do ...

I made my post just before this topic went up. Okobo and the MIL pick would be my limit. The pressure is on Dallas. Let someone else overpay or wait them out as his value drops each day we get closer to the deadline. Okobo, Daniels, Milwaukee pick. I would not mind doing our first round pick this y...

i get the allure of Bell but I'd rather stick with Holmes.

Sure. I can support this. Stick with the players who are doing the job for you.

Should have drafted Bell when they had the opportunity instead of Reed.

Yeah, it wasn't like no one thought that the Suns should have drafted him either. I swear 90% of Suns twitter and phx-suns.net were begging the Suns to take Bell when he was available.

I certainly wanted him.

I was bummed when we drafted Okobo over Melton at the time, glad to have acquired him. Lots of people wanted Marcus Smart, if we're patient, we may well just be rewarded with our own version of him. Hopefully one with better shot selection IOW, a smart Smart. That doesn't get hurt. We want to avoid...

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-hidden-value-of-the-nba-steal/ Yes, this pretty much means a steal is “worth” as much as nine points. To put it more precisely: A marginal steal is weighted nine times more heavily when predicting a player’s impact than a marginal point.6 For example, a playe...

You guys remember when we used to start Canaan, Ryno, and Ariza?

Wizards fans are appalled at Ariza's play.

The Pelicans should make a deal with Boston if they are going to make a deal. Boston has the assets. Pelicans need to do what is best for the team. Get at least two young players and three picks.

I really think that is the best thing about Holmes and Oubre , knowing and enjoying their roles Someone mentioned that Richaun stays hyped for Ayton even though he been subbed and playing behind Embiid I just get the impression that he is fine with that role. Probably pushes Ayton hard in practice ...

I think a lot of it is mindset. Warren is a pretty good transistion scorer. Harder to do that when you’re focusing on securing the rebound. Although warren has actually improved this year as a defensive rebounder. His offensive rebounding has dropped significantly. His offensive rebounding has drop...
