i know you meant to put them on your trainwreck list but you didn't so here you go: the kings

i think the clippers changed their broadcast crew up so i'd have to check but they could be an option too.

lol devin booker is my favorite baller by far lol I memorized his birthday and Google him twice a day.

I study all of his highlight videos too and have watched his 70 pt game highlights at least 30 times.

I'm also equally gay as Devin booker (meaning not gay at all, but think gay things sometimes because he's so handsome)

I also make whole rap songs and made awhile song dedicated to Devin booker.

My friends say that I imitate the way he moves in real life... Not intentional at all but probably true, I just look up to him that much.

He isn't just my favorite ball player he's also my favorite person.. my idol...

i got so horny i ate the soap

G-League coaches would have the selfish motivation of developing a high-draft pick guy would make them look really good for coaching opportunities. And I feel like that same situation happens with NCAA teams now with guys who are obviously 1-and-done, so worst case scenario is you are in the same boat.

Alternatively, you can have NBA teams be able to draft 18 year olds (who enter the draft) but have the first year be required to be a G-League year @ $125k and doesn't count toward NBA service time. 18 year olds get paid to play, NBA teams get to develop those guys instead of the NCAA half-asssing it, and at 19 the rookies still get their millions with the rookie contracts.

I don't know the specifics but the nhl's draft setup without the lovely canadian league agreements that force them back into the OHL until they're 20 or whatever would be cool, and the NCAA as is I don't think could compete with a real minor league system

So why is Dragan Bender so bad? Suns or just a bad player?

he can't play with the ball so passing and driving to the rim or even a midrange game are out of the window. he plays like a wing so screening, posting, and rolling are out. he's probably in his own head about his 3 point shooting. he looks like he tries on defense but he's bad at it and boring bad too, not like chriss who would block shots and sometimes get it right. soft.

It really shouldn't take a hostage situation to make the Suns stop blocking their young players with old vets that have no interest in playing there after the first month of their contract

i actually agree with you but their backup center right now is richaun holmes who is 6'8 and looks lost on offense and too grabby on defense. they should have told lebron how fun ryan anderson and jamal crawford are at parties

Unironically if Bender could succeed it would be with someone like Embiid taking 100% of the pressure off of him to do anything big man related.

pre-trade we were already playing holmes at center so that was ayton/chandler/holmes leaving bender free to theoretically be a 7 foot tall kyle korver but he's not good enough shooting to be in the wing rotation and he's allergic to any of the post/dribbling/layup moves from 2 point range. I guess igor knows that from practice and preseason though.

I don't think Booker is in the patient mood anymore, that might be kind of rough

I think he's frustrated and maybe not patient but he's still waiting. He signed his extension with the #1 OA pick coming and... ryan anderson and no point guard in free agency

Does Lonzo still do that thing where where he sweeps the ball to one side during his shot, making it easy to defend?

yeah but not as much, instead of flicking it from the hip it's more chest area

The way the suns have played I don't think doncic would do them any favors but PG wouldn't be a gaping hole and presumably they keep tyson chandler so C is merely just a regular hole. .500 is a tough hill to climb when josh jackson still apparently doesn't know what he's doing, it took 7 games before igor would start tj warren, the young guys all had growing pains, and the rest of the team hasn't been able to get any sort of consistency. So no but i'd like the team more I think
