I wonder how long Jevon Carter will get playing time. He hasn't looked good so far, and he's just not good enough to be a regular rotation player on a team like the Nets.

Bjelica would have been a nice upgrade over Frank.

The first 25 players of the "NBA 75" were announced today, with Steve Nash and Charles Barkley both officially named to the list. Great to see my two favorite Suns of all time being honored:

Nice to see the Lakers and their HOF roster get embarrassed at home by the Warriors and names like Nemanja and Toscano-Anderson. Soothing experience.

He's going to get a lot more playing time with the Warriors. I doubt it was ever really possible for him to be on the Suns.

Awe. Poor new-look Lakers lost their home opener. Such a shame.

We went 8-8 to start last season, let's not tempt fate with the Lakers.

When they're right physically and locked into a game, both AD or LeBron are capable of being the best player in the world. There are like ten guys in the league at that level and the Lakers have two of them, so they'll probably be at least OK.

I just don't see how they win a title with Westbrook. Him and LeBron are too redundant offensively and both are too old to win several high stakes games with defense and athleticism in transition. I'm just curious how long it's going to take before we start hearing about trade Westbrook trade rumors.

Ben Simmons for Russel Westrbook?!? :lol:

Good article on Grant Hill and a tidbit about him deciding on the Suns over returning to the Pistons in 2007

https://theundefeated.com/features/gran ... unningham/
Look, something you don’t know: I almost came back in 2007. And Joe [Dumars] and I had talked. I talked to Flip [Saunders] and Chauncey [Billups] and Lindsey [Hunter] and they were gonna bring me back and it came between Phoenix and Detroit, and Detroit wanted to pay me and everything. I took less money to go to Phoenix and I think I really entertained it and really thought about it, but ultimately, I didn’t want to come back to a shell of myself. I wanted to stand on those Detroit years and I didn’t want to come back and not be the same player, and it was almost like I needed that for me. I needed to be able to hold onto those Detroit years, particularly after going through some real dark moments. Now the reality of it is, with the team they had, I didn’t have to be my old self (Laughs.). I look at it now, I loved my time in Phoenix, and sometimes you just need a whole new change of scenery, but in reality, with that team and the way they played and experience. I didn’t have to be the ’90s version of myself. I know I would’ve fit in with that crew and liked that crew a lot.

That was when I was a free agent in ’07 and the Magic played the Pistons in the first round that year … I remember bringing my wife up to the playoff game and I was like, ‘Maybe we should come back,’ just the energy. They were still drunk off that championship success and that team was still knocking on the door, so it was fun to experience. So, anyway, it almost happened. I was that close to coming back for sure.

I watched them in preseason use that lineup. It's intriguing because of the skillsets but you also kinda know it's Cleveland just being awful and potentially ruining all 3 of those bigs.

The Bulls are a fun team to watch. They remind me of the Suns at the beginning of last season. The ball movement and effort are there, they just need reps together and settle into roles.

And they need a bit more interior defense...
