Danuel House signed with the Warriors.

I liked him. Thought he was a rotation-caliber wing in the NBA.
I have nothing against the guy. I wish Danuel.

You can take? Think about Marty's kid. He doesn't even know words yet. He has got a whole lifetime in front of him of this. :lol:

I Canaan think of any better jokes! Sorry to make Ulisten to all these puns. I've been working on them day and Knight. And at least all my point guard jokes are rated PG!

The irony of KD calling another basketball player a snake...

KD has made some immature comments on social media this off-season. Not a good look. For a guy winning titles and Finals MVPs, he has remarkably thin skin. I bet the players are taunting him hoping he'll leave Golden State out of spite and go join a lesser team like the Knicks.

NBA Twitter is going nuts over this bad photo of John Wall that was briefly posted by the Wizards.

All of the photos were really bad, but that one takes the cake. One comment I saw was "if i was guaranteed to make $47M in 2022/23, I would look so much worse."

Booker, Ariza and Ayton are our guaranteed starters at this point. The other two spots seem up for grabs.
I think Knight is pretty locked in unless we make a move, which is possible. I guess there is a chance Booker starts at PG and we start Jackson and Warren, but with Igor already saying Booker wouldn't be playing PG, I'd be pretty surprised.

Warren or Jackson seems like the big question right now.
Did I totally miss him saying there won't be Point Booker this year?
You did, he did.
Thanks. I have been traveling internationally the last couple of weeks and way behind on a lot of threads here.

If Knight actually starts AND can get back to his 40% 3P shooting without turning the ball over, that could be a really interesting team. Especially if we can get a shooter to start at 3 for us. I wonder if Jackson and Warren are better off the bench for us.
A shooter to start at the three, you mean someone like Mikal Bridges? Who also happens to play very good D.

I would be very surprised if they take Jackson out of the starting lineup.

If they are honest about competing for playing time then Warren, Jackson and Bridges are all going to be competing for time. I like Bridges chances. He is a better shooter than both. He is a better defender than both.

I'm just a little baffled that we seem to have broken the bank for Bridges without a plan in place to open up significant PT for him.

I was almost positive that it meant Warren or Jackson would be traded within 48-72 hours, that the Suns had something lined up to turn the crowded position into another asset, possibly at PF or PG.

I guess I'm an idiot for thinking McD would be proactive and not reactive for a change.

Don't get me wrong, I like Bridges. I actually prefer to keep him and trade TJ or JJ, which one is depending on the talent coming back in return.

Ariza is on a one year deal. So after this year, that will be clearer I think.
