5-5 1 win from 1st two. 2 wins Memphis/Orlando, 2 wins from the road trip.

Possibly, but who'd they cut? Jazz are pretty deep and it isn't like a perfect vet PG is going to drop into their laps on the waiver wire.

Very D-Will-esque on his drives. He doesn't have the passing game D-Will had, but body type and general offensive game is pretty similar.

Many, many b̶o̶t̶h̶a̶n̶s̶ hookers died for this.

SECOND DRAFT=- with Vegas rankings of total wins in parenthesis to see where I diverge from the conventional wisdom DEN (1) SAC (10) LAC (5) MIN (7) PHX (2) UTA (12) GSW (4) LAL (3) OKC (8) DAL (11) HOU (13) SAS (14) POR (15) MEM (6) NOP (9) Lots of good teams with not a lot separating them-...

Also like how PG all the way up to PF has switchable players so you can slot in who's playing the best to get minutes at whatever spot makes sense at the moment.

That's a very good starting 5 with depth up and down the roster. Playoffs incoming pretty comfortably, even with other teams improving if George doesn't give away too many points on defense.

Like that he's a willing runner. We really have the pieces to be a downhill team looking to break even after a make. He has the mentality and quickness to make that work.

Love how Ainge is the exact opposite of how Lindsey treated assets. Buying low, not giving away unnecessary concessions to players that hurt cap handling, making it difficult for the other teams involved. Ainge sees this layer of the NBA as a competitive game just as much as it was when he was...

WC Tiers: 1: Denver, SacTown Denver was the clear best team in the NBA and despite losing a player their key cogs are back and still ascending. Sacramento is also ascending with great young talent and will take the next step. 2: Jazz, PHX, Lakers Jazz will ride a dominant defense to the...

Disagree- similar games, sizes, but as noted better passing, which of course is essential if he’s playing PG and doesn’t want to be stuck on the bench.

Yep- he’s Sexton as a more willing/capable passer (and better finisher eventually I think,) which is a compliment, but does mean he only starts as a PG on a good team.

Which is why the current setup for Utah is basically perfect- they have a lot of assets and if someone like Luka becomes available, we and maybe OKC are the only ones positioned to give Dallas a bag and still have enough left to make a championship run. And if a superstar doesn't become...

New CBA limited his market, not too surprising. Interested to see if he is able to hone his 3pter this off-season- it will make him or cost him a lot of money either way.

This team winning had little to zero to do with Clarkson- he wasn’t a plus player on the court. People also seem to forget how much moaning there was post trade deadline that we somehow were still winning games. The west will have few desperately BAD teams, but it has very few good ones. I’ll...

I really, really don’t understand the skepticism- y’all watched this team last year right? They’re allergic to losing. Seriously as was said earlier, it’s Denver and everyone else with Utah having solid 4 starters and a returning all star with assets and cap space to easily address our holes...

Minus injuries, there is absolutely no way this team misses the playoffs.

I propose a new nickname for him: (Hard) Cash https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/trends/ats_trends/ You literally should never bet against him. Great article discussing the culture he has built: https://apple.news/AmVKiDzLISj-KvvAUOWiiCg

Sexton I'd guess since they'll want to work him back in slowly anyway

That would require a shooting touch he hasn’t shown beyond a couple feet. His free throw shooting isn’t indicative of that happening.
