I can't be mad about beating LA.

Bulls
Hawks
Suns

All have winnable home games today

You jinxed the Bulls and the Suns.

I have Portis in there as a quality backup.  A Taj type they hope.
Edit: autocorrect turned him into Porter.

Hutch, Val, Blakenay -- maybe they can get one rotation player out of that.  I haven't really seen Hutch.  Blake is a Trier type chucker, good on corner 3's, but never passes.  They also just picked up Selden from Memf, but he seems marginal.  Valentine plays with effort.  they all seem like minimum level players, but I'll try to see the Bulls again to decide.

As for Thibs:
I'd rather have Covington & Saric than Zach/Dunn/Marakaanen (he was the pick, right).

Wow

No on that last part.

Markaanen is special and Lavine could be.

Interesting question! I guess it depends on what you like to see on the basketball court. Cov is so good defensively, he's the best of the bunch today. Lauri has the highest ceiling, but Lavine is terrible defensively (and overrated offensively, imo, even if he is certainly skilled and athletic) and they may not pair well together defensively. Dunn looks like an average back-up PG.

I'll use Lavine's terrible contract as a tie-breaker and go with the ex-Sixers duo too. But it's close.

And is Dunn really getting near FIVE boards a game and shooting 48%?

I'll take Cov over Maark; Saric over Zach.

Covington is a high level 2-way player.
Saric does a lot of little things that help a team.

Maark is a nice player, but I see him as more of a high plateau guy than someone who keeps getting better.  Seems like he already has a mature game, so I don't anticipate a high ceiling.
Zach is a defensive mess, erratic shooter, overpaid, injury history.
Dunn = defensive effort, shooting woes.  A backup PG.

When the first Butler trade was made, Zach was an erratic gimp looking for a big payday, Dunn a mess, the pick an unknown.
It was an infusion of (risky) yute.  CHI lucky they hit on the pick.  Maark taken 7th one slot ahead of Franc.

Not that i would ever want to sound anti-Kanter but .. get off the twitter already.  It's not making your life any easier.

Outplayed by Mr. Randle, a good small guard to bring off your bench.

I’m seeing ripples of Kanter to Kings for Kufos being discussed. I’d be in favor of it. I support him shitting on Edrogan from a perch on the west coast. Vlade can tutor him personally and he could be sixth man of the year. WCS and Bagely would both pair well with him. He’s entering his “prime”, they’re “on the cusp”.

We could use a little adult supervision from a guy with a solid base at the pivot.

So you're saying every other Turkish NBA player is a piece of shit erdogan thug.  Why can't they be more like Enes.
