Raptors are a weird team, but fun.

Yes. Watching them now. Ingram’s given them a spark.

 

[KqWIN]

It's hard to overstate just how bad the Wizards are. Some of their guys have good numbers, but it's because someone has to get numbers. They're playing vets too!

 

[KqWIN]

Raps should trade for AD.

 

[KqWIN]

Good for Queen. Still don’t know about that trade, but the law of “he’s good at basketball” may have needed to be applied here.

OKC does have the hardest remaining SOS

Their hardest game are their in-team scrimmages, except maybe Denver.

I was really rooting for this guy. Sad to hear he's still ded....

Sabonis has a near tear. He's out at least 3-4 weeks. We won't be worse than the Kings unless Lauri gets back spasms

Jazz got robbed. Check the comments.

Thoughts on LaMelo Ball?

Thoughts on LaMelo Ball?

I do not think there's a worse fit than in Utah with our defense personnel and culture. Maybe Sacramento? But we're a team that should not be looking at LaMelo at all.

Not even Jazz related, I have categorized LaMelo in to a bucket of guys that don't play winning basketball. I think he's extremely talented, but his defense and style of play is hard to win with. I'm not 100% sure that's fair. Maybe in a new situation he could thrive.

Not just his whole aura/attitude/play-style, he's constantly injured.

I don't think he's going to thrive anywhere unless it's a team with superstar vets that he respects enough to change

Listening to Hoop Collective, Pelton said the list of players who have been All-Stars by Year 2 are exclusively HOF players, and Ball is one of those players. Crazy how much talent he has wasted by being a goofball

 

[KqWIN]

Thoughts on LaMelo Ball?

Defense is terrible, but his offense might actually be underrated. Behind all the weird stuff he's actually a pretty good offensive engine. But he's also always injured. It's stunted his development and it's just hard to rely on a guy who only plays half the games.

He's a player I love to watch, but he needs to be on a different team. I'd put him ahead of guys like Sabonis, Zion, and Trae though.

 

[KqWIN]

I prayed on CP3's downfall for most of my life, but now that it's here this is really sad.

LaMelo to the Kings seems inevitable right?

Lamelo for Sabonis is unironically kind of interesting.

I do not think the Hornets want to trade for a 7'1" guy currently going through knee issues.
