I wouldn't call Collins a surprise though as he n Trae were already starting to be quite the duo from last year

Re: Around the League: Week 3 11/4-11/10
People have jumped on the suns statement as a proof they know something bad about Ayton, but it simply seems to be the generic statement. Atlanta's looks like a copy/paste

I'm watching the Mavs broadcast of Mavs-Magic and Ced Ceballos is commentating for them.

Bledsoe's not a winning player, he's just on the right team now.

Re: Around the League: Week 3 11/4-11/10
Boy, I really do not miss Bledsoe. Milwaukee can have him.
Re: Around the League: Week 3 11/4-11/10
I didn’t even miss him when we were running out Melton, Okobo and Canaan as starters.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 8:32 amBoy, I really do not miss Bledsoe. Milwaukee can have him.

Jonathan Isaac had a 13/10/5/4/6 game last night. He’s averaging 11/7/2/2/3 for the season. Shooting 37% from 3....I would have loved if we drafted Fox, but I really really wanted Isaac and he’s showing why. He’d be perfect at the 4 for us.
We rightfully rip on the Bender/Chriss draft picks, but there’s a pretty solid argument that the next 3 picks were worse.
Jackson over Fox/Isaac/Markkanen/Mitchell
Ayton over Doncic
Bridges over SGA
The Jackson pick is by far the worst as he was awful and the next 3 picks would all look fantastic here.
Ayton/Bridges aren’t bad picks because they are good players but Doncic/SGA look fantastic early. Luka at 26/9/9, SGA at 22/6/3 and shooting 42% from 3. Is there an alternate universe where we run out SGA/Booker/Oubre/Doncic/Isaac?
Also, props to James Jones and Monty...we butchered so many decisions during the McD era and somehow we still have a nice, fun, promising young team that is fun to watch and root for.

Looks like we softened the Heat up for the Lakers tonight.
