Crazy man
Another top game from Pelicans and it took a ridiculous game from the MVP to hold them off. Fouling out Valanciunas was key in the 4th quarter

Celtics continue to roll (21-6) since
Rockets stun Grizz after I said they are a lock for #2 with Warriors struggling
I'm gonna guess this the first time their trio combined for so much points

Suns Magic Number vs. -
GSW, MEM, MIA - 10
PHI, UTH - 8
DAL, MIL - 7
CHI, DEN - 6
BOS, CLE - 5
MIN - 3
TOR - 2
If the Suns go 9-10 in their last 19 games Memphis and Miami would have to go 16-0 to catch them, Golden State would have to go 17-0.

Glad Dinwiddie's turned it around a bit since getting out of Washington. They kind of threw him under the bus, but he's a pro who knows how to play while the Wiz are always a mess.
Re: Around the League: Week 21 (3/7 to 3/13)
Turns out that was a pretty good deal for Dallas…I thought it was pretty meh, but I was thinking Dinwiddie was done, but it seems like Washington was just a bad fit

I like Dinwiddie. They were smart to grab him when his value was at its nadir. Seems like both sides might be happy with that trade, since Porzingis has also been playing with some renewed vigor after leaving Dallas. Don't think he was a good fit with such a high-usage player like Luka.
Re: Around the League: Week 21 (3/7 to 3/13)
I don't think anyone is really a good fit with Luka. And as good as the trade has been (for both sides), Luka's usage actually went up since the trade to over 40%!
Re: Around the League: Week 21 (3/7 to 3/13)
Who would be the best possible fit with Luka? I’d think a versatile wing defender that can play both on and off the ball. Probably someone like Paul George. I think pairing him with a scoring combo guard would also work as Luka is going to run most of the offense. Think CJ, Rozier, Sexton, Hield. I think Booker would be a great fit offensively.

CJ was the first guy that came to mind as a small guard (can carry the load at times, doesn't mind being 2nd fiddle).
Mikal would basically fit on any team with anyone.
Other starting wing would probably be someone that is as strong as Luka but more mobile and longer. I am not sure here. (I would put Luka on the slowest wing for defense).
Center might be someone he already plays with in Kleber. Not really a center, but plays plenty of time there. I would like more of a pick and roll partner, but they need one that can shoot from distance. A combo guy that can do both well might not fit on a team with Luka and CJ already (from payroll and ego perspective).
Re: Around the League: Week 21 (3/7 to 3/13)
John Collins would be good offensively at least
