I think Taytum is a tier above Sabonis and that Brown is on a similar tier as Sabonis. But they're all very good players and no one is trading one for the other anyway. Boston has a bad roster. They aren't even 5 deep. It's Taytum, Brown, Marco Smart, Daniel Theis, and a huge gulf, even if payton pritchard is looking ok as a bench gunner.

Indiana isn't brimming with stars but it's a pretty solid roster 1--10, even without levert

I wish Dallas had a roster as deep as Boston.

Tatum and Brown combined for 9-30 ... and they won.

Rob Williams might end up being a very solid big.

quote:

Adam Malamut, the cocreator of the Bleacher Report series Game of Zones, appeared on the Rejecting the Screen podcast this week and told hosts Adam Stanco and Noah Coslov about Dolan’s response to the May 2018 episode titled “Poorzingis.” (Thanks to the New York Daily News for digging up the anecdote.)

Bleacher Report is owned by Turner, which is one of the NBA’s most important business partners. But still, people in the league office didn’t have a problem with the long-running NBA-themed Game of Thrones spoof. Well, “with the exception of one particular owner of the Knicks,” Malamut said.

In the Knicks-themed episode, Walt Frazier sits beside a bed-ridden Kristaps Porziņģis (who was recovering from a torn ACL at the time the video was released).

“Oh, my sweet Latvian child, what do you know about fair?” Frazier says. “Fair is for the elders, who’ve suffered through the entire reign of James Dolan. Fans are born and live and die, all without seeing a playoff win or decent draft pick.”

Dolan later enters the room to cheer up Porziņģis with a song—a medieval version of “Better Find a Church,” by Dolan’s band, JD & the Straight Shot—that makes a few references to Dolan’s predilection for handing out poor contracts. It’s nothing too offensive.

And yet Dolan was apparently ticked off enough that he went straight to Adam Silver to complain. Malamut said he didn’t feel comfortable telling the whole story, but he gave an abbreviated version.

“He wasn’t thrilled with it. He let Adam Silver know, who let the president of all of Turner know,” Malamut said. “To us that was pretty cool. What we know is that Adam Silver himself, he’s super cool. They like Game of Zones there. ... The league is cool with it, but technically they work for the owners and when [Dolan] complains they have to technically let us know that he wasn’t cool with it. Everyone else was like, ‘Meh, that’s just this particular guy. He’s a little fussy.’”

Finney-Smith is the kind of right height right athleticism guy who plays the wing for a. team without a real wing. Josh Richardson has been damaged deep inside. Willie Cauley Stein is a fake tough guy. James Johnson is not good out of Miami. Jalen Brunson is great but obviously not someone you want starting. Josh Green will be good at some future date. Zingis has only played 509 minutes.

The upside is that they'll have a good draft pick, and if Zingis keeps getting hurt but playing decently in between, they might be able to have pieces to trade him for someone good who wants out, the year after next.

The thing that worries me is how bad Dallas has been at drafting in the Cuban era.

They don't have a draft pick this year because of the Porzingis trade.

Unless MPJ becomes more consistent and they start playing smarter overall, the best the Nuggets can hope for is the 7th or 8th seed

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The Jazz are going to win like 55+ games this year which is really impressive in a season that has 82 games.

No idea, tbh. I only know about this because Didi Louzada retweeted it. He is a Pels second round pick that I have been casually following in the hopes he comes over to the NBA sooner than later.
