I just meant in general there is a glut of backup C's and such folks, such as Noel, can be picked up on the cheap and contribute fairly well.

Yet this is not the point

I know the cap isnt involved in baseball but who would say Mets arent better with Lindor over Rosario?

Like I said - make a case for that 21 mil being better used - for Horford upgrades us quite well over 1.5 seasons and maybe beyond.

(I am not even sure OKC would be interested in that deal.  They are said to be in no rush to deal AH)

Don't waste your cap space on a C.  Especially an old C who would likely be a backup.
That's the point.
Use up to $27M on a starting Wing or PG.
Not hard to understand.

It's so hard to get the type of mobile defensive C's we have that we got one in the 2nd round, another for $5M in FA, and a 3rd off the scrap heap.  A combined $10M salary for Mitch, Noel and Taj.

Winslow another name to add to my wing list.
Seems like a Thibs type.  Could be our Marcus Smart.
Team opt for $13M next year though.

MLE is 9.5 next year, if that helps gauge the size of the checks you want to throw at people.

Just lost a 10 pt. lead with a couple of minutes to go.
Rooting for a second OT, to get the Spurs really tired for tomorrow.
Too bad it ain’t gonna happen. Nyets now up 11 with less than a minute to go.

Cole Ant has had a cracked rib.
Was first diagnosed as a shoulder injury.
Expected back after AS break I think.

Hawks dump their coach.
Kind of harsh as they have had a ton of injuries.
Started the season 10-9, and kind of collapsed when DeA Hunter went down (meniscus surgery).

Can't blame the coach for injuries.
Bodgdanovich barely saw the court.  Dunn hasn't.  Gallo missed a bunch of games and hasn't been right.  Hunter out now for a while.

I really like Nate McM who takes over.  But I guarantee N8 will be a better coach when he gets players back and healthy.

The flipside of that is PHX, where their vet additions, CP3 and Crowder, have led the talented pups forward, and they've avoided injuries.  Not that ATL added anyone of Paul's stature.

Dunn and Bogdan were supposed to ease the burden on Trae to do it all.  That never happened.  With Hunter out, the erratic CamRed has been allowed to do his crazy thing.  Should help his long term development, but not not for short term winning.

Quote
the Hawks' 11th loss after holding a fourth-quarter lead.

Does this mean that the Hawks have underachieved by blowing 4Q's or overachieved by playing well through 3Q's? 
Add in all the missing personnel such as Hunter, Bogdan, Dunn and likely at least split those games and be above .500.

Lotta new players and hard to forge an identity with so many Missing in Action.

Hawks have enough guys playing

Sometimes the connection isn't there between coach and roster

Your Portand Kincks

Melo with 29 points, 5 steals and 2 blocks.
Enes with 11 rebounds, just another day at the office.
They were the 2 best players for Portland, what else is new?

Hornets lost to the Portland Knicks, but LaMelo is the real deal, 30 points and 8 assists.

That STIFF James Harden becomes just the 4th NBA players to record a statline of 30 points 15 assists and zero turnovers.  Roll, BK, roll.

Saw a weird sight last night at Ok State

Cade Cunningham (freshman) seemed to be having his number retired

Very strange.

Congratulations on your consistency. You some how always find a way to be a weak heel’s lickspittle. It’s usually very boring but occasionally it can amaze.
