Is Mark Williams good? I don't know much about him. Seems like based on the reaction here folks think he's good.
Somehow has a higher standing reach than Wemby…he’s 7’2, 7’7 wingspan. Big time athlete. Defense a bit raw right now. He’ll be better, but think Javale McGee in size and athleticism.
I could be wrong, but I think that's a description of a different Duke center.

Trade KD today

A few years ago when Durant was still in Brooklyn and was in the playoffs they were considered one of the top teams to win it all. They had beat the Celtics in round 1 4-1 and came up against the Bucks in round 2. They lost game 6, were tied 3-3 and game 7 went to OT. I remember watching it and the game before and when it looked like they were going to lose I saw Durant joking around even with players from the other team. I thought at the time that was why they were going to lose was because in these types of battles everyone on the other team is your enemy. Of course I had stepped away from basketball during the 2010's and had not seen him in GS so this was the impression I had of him. And also of course I forgot all about this when the Suns traded for him. But now it is a memory burned into my raging brain. It hurts even worse because they should have won and then beat Atlanta in the conf finals. But you all remember what happened after that.

In trade news, Gambo said on the radio we are targeting a Power Forward, specifically in the eastern conference.

James Jones is going to fall on sword for Ishbia and Bartelstein. Too bad, I think he's been solid.

That KD-Butler deal sucked. Need young guys and picks back.

You talking about game 7 when KD played without Kyrie and had a broken Harden, but scored 48 points and only lost becasuse his toe was on the line? He dominated that game and almost single handedly beat the eventual champions.

Mark Williams is 7'0" tall with a 7'6.5" wingspan.
I thought you might have been talking about Khaman Maluach, who is 7'2".

Yep that's the game. I don't question his skills. I question his leadership and seriousness. I mean it's like he is saying "I'll try my hardest to win but if we don't it's just another day at the office"

Yo hornets you need a center, you bucks want to shed even more salary? Can’t we all help each other out??

This works in spotrac

Hornets: Nurk and ‘27 1st

Bucks: Cody Martin, Cam Reddish

Suns: Bobby Portis

We save 5.5 million and Bucks save 4.5 million.

I guess the 7’2 is with shoes…I just pulled it from google and rounded up the wingspan. He does have a higher standing reach than Wemby though at 9’9

That KD isn't the KD we have now. Laughing on the bench after being down 40 is awesome. F**k this team.

Ugh. This sucks. I guess I’d be fine moving off of KD if we got some youth and picks. I’m not interested in watching a big three fight to get into the playoffs.
KD for a Jabari Smith package with a bunch of picks would work. Smith and Dunn could be a nice defensive unit. Move off of Allen for a pick too. I doubt KD wants leave either. Where the hell is all our leverage?
