OKC only drafts long armed non shooters.

Speaking of centers though. Richaun Holmes’ $5MM deal is up and he’s unrestricted. He played 61 games and put up 23.4/13.6/2.7 per 100 with 1 steal and 2.6 blocks. His D rating of 115 isn’t great but was also the best on the team. Also had a team high O rating of 130. He fits great next to Fox and I love watching him play.

What is the FA market for centers out there? I know the common knowledge is they’re a dime a dozen but that’s more for backups and it’s not exactly true if you want to actually be good. They better re-sign him on like a 4 for $40 type

Edit: obviously $10MM/yr is too much but you know what I mean. Looks like the market is pretty dire https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/center/

No way the Knicks don’t overpay Noel so how about uhh Kanter or ideally Theis

How much has being a bulls fan these past couple years just felt like groundhogs day?

Creators that sign up for the platform issue their own Creator Token. As fans purchase it, they get access to particular experiences. Creators decide their own pricing and features include: paid monthly subscription programs, paid live events and jam sessions, video calls, Cameo-style video messages, special requests (cooking classes/personal training), paid follows/shoutouts, NFTs, etc. Galaxy takes a percentage of what is issued by the creator.

Dinwiddie noted “our sights are set on a decentralized future where creators will be able to foster, empower, and incentivize their communities via custom creator tokens, while simultaneously reaping the benefits of the first fully-integrated creator economy.” He has assembled the advisory team to create a robust ecosystem that benefits sports stars and fans alike: Roham Gharegozlou, Founder and CEO of Dapper Labs, the creators of NBA Top Shot, Adrian Lai, CEO of Liquefy, Rahul Kothari, researcher at BlueSky, Twitter's decentralized social networking effort, and Chad Richman, Sr. Legal Counsel for Centre Consortium.

The advisory team, coupled with the Hedera network’s cutting-edge distributed ledger technology, upon which Calaxy is built, will work to put the modern fan at the center of all the action. Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs, commented, “I’m amped to join Calaxy as an advisor and help reimagine fan interaction for the future. Calaxy's creator-first strategy is attracting an incredible range of NBA players, professional athletes, and talent, all of whom recognize its ability to deepen their direct fan engagement and expand the crypto universe to the masses.”

According to NBA insider Marc J. Spears, the 31-year-old point guard will most likely be moved by the Thunder. He thinks that the Los Angeles Lakers should try to get him. Spears also revealed that Kyle Kuzma appears to be leaving the 2020 NBA champions.

I wish Philly the best of luck finding either a coach who will tell Ben straight up that he's not a point guard or a team that will give you something decent for him.

He's going to Toronto in a sign and trade for Kyle Lowry.

It is sad to see a dude get mentally broken by the pressures outside their control. It's always depressing because people just dog on them even harder, which just exacerbates the problem.
