I like him too and I think he’d be a good option if we lose Craig in a Crowder trade, but we’re kind kind of full on our center-in-a-small-forward’s-body quota.

What's Alan Williams up to these days?

Every ass kicking the Nets take is one step closer to Nash being fired and the wheels coming off completely in Brooklyn.
Then it's back to 24/7 discussion about KD and Kyrie trades.

What a busy opening night in the NBA. Some stats and notes from tonight:
* Banchero had 27/9/5 in his debut for Orlando tonight. A loss.
* Halliburton had 26/4/7 for Indiana, also in a loss.
* Pelicans killed the Nets, 130 - 108 tonight. Ingram had 28/7/5, Zion had 25/9/3 and 4 steals. Durant had 32, rest of Nets were basically ass.
* Donovan Mitchell had 31 and 9 for the Cavs, but they lost to the Raptors.
* Ja Morant had 31 and 9 as the Grizz beat the Knicks in OT. New Knick Brunson had 15 and 9.
* Jazz blow out the Nuggets, 123-102 (!).

I need a mea culpa on this one. He looked legit.

And I'm holding back the victory lap I'm prepared to take for predicting he has potential to be the best player in the league in his prime.

I think they’re beyond the help they need…nothing is going to get them to contention status
I'd still prefer not to think about or hear suggestions on how to "fix" them.
I can’t tell if you guys are being serious…but you don’t have to come into the around the league thread
Sorry man, I wasn’t being serious. I just think Laker hating is an important part of my Suns fandom and my general anti-entitlement personality so I took the opportunity to play the part, but of course I’m not doubting your basketball takes or your Suns fandom. Or should I…

Just know that I’m happy to let the lakers crash and burn…If I say what I’d do if I were them, I don’t actually want them to do it. I hope they start Westbrook all year and he leads them to a nice 32-50 record

Does he have some degenerative ailment we don't know about?

Hmm, so much for the 2023 champion Clippers. I picked them as "over" since they are so deep, but that has to be concerning to them that Kawhi is already unable to play fully.

Ehh, I think he’s fine. He just doesn’t want to stress himself in the regular season.

Yeah this sounds like something Kawhi's camp would suggest so he doesn't have to play as much during the part of the season nobody pays attention to.

I never would have guessed that Ayton would have the most assists on this list…I do remember he had a great debut against Luka and the Mavs.
