Around the NBA: Week 12 (1/5 - 1/11)

It's too much more me, just gimme the play by play, I don't need all the weird zoomer stuff.

Loser PG #2 available, who will be next? Dejounte, any of the Portland guards?

Lakers would've really been cooked if not for Nico

Stix is not a 4. I like him and root for him but he’s Oso with a 3 point shot (minus the dribbling and passing).

So ... Not Oso?!?

So he's a small ball stretch 5 we need. Got it.

Oof!

That Davis injury is wild. Mr Glass strikes again. That Nico/Luka trade has to be the worst in NBA history after it's all said and done.

[Kryptonic]

Davis is cooked…. Who the heck would want to take on a guy who’s injured more than he’s healthy?

Yes. I agree that he’s a small ball stretch 5 and as I said I root for him. I don’t mind seeing him on the Suns. However I think our more glaring need right now is still at 4 and despite Brian Gregory’s magic we have limited team building resources so I personally wouldn’t focus on Stix.

IMO Ja is a perfect fit for the Heat, both on and off the court. I know Ja is unpopular around the league and folks think his best years are behind him, but IMO he will play better if he gets a change of scenery. And the Heat, despite being #6 in the East with a 20-17 record, are kind of going nowhere and don't seem to have many avenues to get better or become a contender.

[pickle]

Hard to see Ja and Herro play in the same back court tho. With Powell as their third rotation guard. That’s a diminutive back court.

I haven't been impressed with either of them
That's why those losses to LAL and HOU still greatly upset me especially the manner in which we lost

I think their records are flattering and hopefully later in the season the standings will reflect that. Suns finishing above them I don't feel is far fetched and man oh man that would be the most satisfying thing in a while for me

Man, you hate to see it…. There’s still time to demand a trade by the deadline!

You just don't understand - this is what great leaders do and how they motivate and make their teammates better.
