NBA Injury Report is a real good podcast y'all should check out.

Lillard MVP and leads the Blazers to the western conference finals where they lose to the Warriors in 6 because of course they do. Quote this in 82 games.

I have been excited about Joel Embiid since he got drafted all those years ago but somehow just this month realized his name is spelled Embiid and not Embiib. I've been pronouncing it with 2 bs and no one has stopped me.

Is Plumlee normally a real good passer? Cause those were perfect. A big that can pass well out of the post to cutters is extremely dangerous.

Yeah he averaged almost 3 assists a game last season, 4.8 in the 11 playoffs games. One day people realize someone can be a Plumlee and go to Duke and be a cool.

Y'all, be real with me for a second. I understand that Mason Plumlee 1: is a Plumlee 2: went to Duke 3: I'm a huge homer, but he's not Bad is he?

Like obviously he's not an all star, but he's been improving since coming to Portland I think. Lot of assists, improved his FT%, started shooting a little further out from the rim this year. Is he Fine?

Nah I think he's on to something. It's Dexo's job to convince racists that they're wrong but he can only do so by being nice to them. If he yells at them for being awful, he's actually contributing to the problem. Hmmmm yes.

An uncle of mine lives in Ohio (Medina?) and straight up thinks that Lebron is the greatest humanitarian/person in living memory.

E: was Lebron's last off-court controversy when his mom got that new car before he was drafted?

Stuff I've seen makes it seem like people think Plumlee/Nurkic isn't much more than a lateral move, especially since Plumlee will be gone in the offseason. The prize being a 3rd draft pick for basically free. The Cavs pick (oddly absent from 2k17) was received for taking/waiving Verajao.

Still waiting for Lillard/Boogie trade.

Lillard in the East easily makes the all star team for the next few years I think.

Okafor plus whatever pick gets us Fultz or Ball

I think his performance would improve playing in the East and he's already on the cusp or making it every year in the West vs better guards. I don't think it's unreasonable.
