The difference between the Clippers odds of winning with and without Milos are greater than they are with and without Blake and Chris Paul

Him probably being the worst defensive player in the league makes it all the more confusing

Welcome back
He's so good at reading his defender's body language, he throws passes when his man thinks he's going to dribble or take an elbow jumper. He shoots when the defender has committed to a pass. He's good. If he could jump higher than a chemistry book his 3p% would probably be better

Fair to use Redshirt Rookie as a narrative hit tho!

anyhow you don't want Simmons winning ROTY it's been a polluted award for a while now, older rookies who are peaking in their careers and don't ever get much better have been winning it lately and it might curse him terribly.

you don't want to put Simmons name in there with Tyreke Evans, Andrew Wiggins, probably Brogdon and the dreaded Michael Carter Williams. It's a hex waiting to happen

(I don't know exactly how this applies to Lillard beating out Davis for ROTY because ROTY is a scoring title. I've kinda thought Dame looked like a permanent all-star but never a top 10 guy from year 1 and Davis has always Showed Promise, but saying Dame came into the NBA almost complete isn't actually a knock on a player and Davis does tend to miss some games)

Stephen Adams staring down the dude who's supposed to be chasing Russ makes him visibly hesitate and choose the weak way around the screen

I'd be scared too that guy's strong and he hits hard

The Blake trade was a bummer for sentimental reasons but fine to good for basketball reasons.

Happy we kept DJ as long as he opts in. He’s not that good, but I like him and it doesn’t sound like that much was on offer

The best part of this is how, after a steady stream of mad sports guy "NO!"s, he seamlessly goes into an angry version of the play-by-play announcer patter about how the refs are gonna go to the replay screens to make sure he got the shot off before the buzzer
