INF’s grade when we passed on Murray in the draft.
But to be clear, it wasn't about passing on Murray, it was about who they drafted. I would have been fine with Hield, Murray, or Sabonis.

So draymond green lost a game for the warriors in the most stupid fashion. Off a scramble from a jump ball with seconds left the hornets managed to call a timeout. Green disagreed then proceeded to get two techs and an ejection. Hornets tied the game on free throws and then hit the game winner. What a stupid d*ck! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone do anything so selfish and dumb. You were winning?! Did he have money on the hornets or something. He looks very washed up for what he is paid also.
He also got suspended in an NBA Finals series his team went on to lose.

Terry Rozier has been a baller for Charlotte. His signing was knocked, but he has been very good.

True.

He went on some long post game rant this week about it’s unfair how players get treated when teams want to trade them. Dude it a pandemic, no one gives a fuck if millionaires get their feelings hurt because at the end of the day they are still millionaires. I think he just says dumb shit these days to try amd appear relevant. Not a fan

I can't believe people pay to listen to Nate Duncan.
I don't know who he is. But I'll be honest, I thought about how poorly Edwards has been playing too. The Wolves should have kept him coming off the bench.
Which is totally fine. But it was a monster dunk, and it is OK to celebrate it. This is the same guy that, in the same night, posted about how great of a shot someone else hit (but failed to mention how bad that guy was all night). Can't remember the details.

Thought this was telling

Yeah, remember when everybody was up in arms that Jones targeted him?

And I had Nate Duncan confused with Nate Robinson.

I thought Rozier would have been fine...he had shown he was a better player as a starter...I certainly didn’t expect what he’s been doing though....he’s really not a pg though...very similar to Collin Sexton...sg in a pg body. But he’s been a fantastic shooter.

Rozier is having a great season. 21 ppg and shooting 46% on 3s. But he still is what he is, and he isn't a pure PG; he's averaging just 3 assists. Happy he's doing well, but I don't think I would have liked the fit with him here.

I’m not sure how it would’ve gone, but his impact would have been quite different from Rubio’s I imagine

Really good game between New Orleans and Boston. I love how Brandon Ingram has developed. Watching Zion attack the offensive boards is a also refreshing to see.

And Josh Hart is one of my favorite role players in the league. I have wanted him on the Suns for awhile.

I get Kemba is recovering from a major injury, but his acquisition just wasn't smart. I don't think the Tatum/Brown combo needs a high volume, scoring point guard.

Well you have to look at who he plays with. Deonte Graham is a point guard, and Lamelo is an amazing passer. Rozier has experience/skill off the ball dating back to his days at Louisville. But he ran the point fine in Boston, and he started of there with Charlotte until Graham came on like gangbusters.

Quite a chain of events here developing



Delon Wright went down last game, joining Killian Hayes on the Injured List and with the trade of Rose for Smith Jr, all of a sudden an opportunity presents itself. Much like Josh he is going from hardly seeing any minutes last couple seasons and one foot out the League to having a chance to show if he's worth a rotation spot on someone's team.

Josh is actually still doing a decent job and Casey believes in him it seems. That had me wondering about Casey and then I remember he also wasn't afraid to give FVV and Pascal minutes when they first came up from the G-League.
Now he's also giving Saddiq Bey all the minutes he can handle so gonna watch how this plays out for DSJ

Any interest in Cousins when Houston lets him go?

I certainly don't expect Jones to go after him, but it's interesting to think about.

Doesn't seem like a Jones guy. I have been whining about our lack of big-man depth, but I still don't think he could help much. I mean, I think his skill is still good enough to contribute 10-15 minutes a night, but I am just not sure about how he would fit in.

Pass. Cousins is not a winning basketball player, and every time he's started to change that about himself, he gets injured.
