Incredible, love the story. I’ll never understand the language these guys have to use to ruin what would otherwise be an awesome shareable event. Just speak and act like a professional adult, it’s not that hard.

Oh, get over it. You understood what they said. Much worse is said in any sports lockeroom. That platform isn’t meant to be uber professional and clean cut. Hell, if it was, I doubt Brad Wing would have showed up :lol:

Easy over

Dumars has been on record this summer stating that he is/was targeting guys that can create their own offense and get to the free throw line for easy points. Players with that type of gravity make the game easy for everyone else on the court. Zion, Fears and Queen are all exceptional at that. Trey was improving on that last year. Poole can do that, healthy DJM can do that, Jose can do it on hot spurts.

Nobody would watch the NBA if the players weren’t good enough. The NBA wouldn’t generate as much money as it does without the players. What are you talking about?

Nice!

Thinking Riley would make a great Taysom replacement IF Kellen Moore wants to utilize that type of player. He may not.

Chris Haynes says trade coming soon with raptors

When y’all get a chance look up the DJ Giddens kid from K State. 3 round projected guy but looks like the most electrifying RB in the draft outside of Jeanty. Only thing he’s missing is insane top end speed. I’ve been drafting him with one of our 3rd round picks in every mock draft

The New Orleans Pelicans are open to trading anyone on their roster except Herb Jones, Yves Missi, and Trey Murphy III, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer “While naturally resistant to trade inquiries for their younger gems — Herb Jones, rookie Yves Missi and Trey Murphy III — word is that the Pelicans are essentially open to trade pitches for pretty much anyone else on the roster apart from those three amid a 5-21 start and more injury woe than even Philadelphia.”
