FVV and Tatum not far off.


Brown over Tatum

[elephant]

I hadnt heard anyone targeting Randle, elephant.

Can you recall any murmurs that we could trade him?

Or did you mean they target him - as in guarding him closely and/or with multiple players?

No, no, I just meant the latter.

[bodiddley]

They are not in competition. Backcourt/frontcourt.

I was going with that ESPn article I quoted, assuming Jayen and Trae would be backcourt reserves.

[bodiddley]

Btw, #5 pick Okoro struggling mightily on O:
39 / 25 / 67 on the season; 34 / 17 / 63 in FEB
5.65 PER

[kidcarter8]

Yes

But we knew that and so did the Cavs really.

I still like the look of Avdija

And Williams has gotten raves all across the league

Word is about 4 teams were trying to trade up for Williams.

Also heard that Hayes  was second on Knicks PG depth chart prior to their finding out about his hip

Did DET not do their homework?  Or did they save us from Knicks maybe taking him anyway?

Have a good Saturday.

You don't say?  Indeed he is. 

However against Denver, IO was 5-10. 3-6 from trey, for 14-3-2 with a steal and a block. A growth curve?  Nah, BoD has spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.  Oh and no love for Anthony Edwards, who was 3-14 and 0-7 from trey. 

On the other hand, Jamal Murray, taken by Denver with a first round option flip pick they got from the Knicks [we hasten to add], was 21-25 and 8-10 from trey for 50 big ones without taking a single free throw. 

PS: Joel Embid, was 17-26, 15-17 from the FT line, for 50 big ones with 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.  Chris Paul had 15 points and 19 assists as the Suns beat the Pelicans.  Jae Crowder was 6-8 from trey.  Lonzo Ball was 6-12 from trey and 3-4 from FT with 12 assists.

Edwards is somewhat like Cam Reddish -- something of a mess on both ends, but young and uber athletic.  Did you see Edwards baseline dunk a night or two ago? 

Minny has been mostly a mess.  Maybe KAT's return will settle things down.  But it seems to be a team of one-way players.

Reddish seems to benefiting from Hunter's absence.  At least he's getting more time and touches.  Never know if he's going to do something smooth or crazy.

Avdija looks like he knows the game, but plays passively.  Also, he barely gets to the FT line and shoots just 58% from there.  What's that?
Maybe with Westbrook zooming all around hellbent on stats, it's hard to assert yourself(?)

BALL now shooting 43/39/74

PER of 15.1

I thought Reddish looked really nice and aggressive against the Knicks, but then I looked at the box score. 

My love for Quickley and Haliburton notwithstanding, for Rookie Of The Year it's LaMelo Ball by a country mile. 

[chipstern]

Duly noted that Brother Lonzo has been progressing of late.

Last time I looked he was getting to the free throw line with more consistency, and was 6-12 from trey last time out. 

He is making 11 million this year, and his qualifying offer next year is $14.3 million. 

I keep hearing he's on the trading block, which baffles me. 

Are the Knicks interested? 

Just perused HoopsHype for my daily dose or rumors. 

"WORD IS" that our own World Wide Wes is working the back channels to suggest that maybe Bradley Beal should think about pushing for a new team, and that the Knicks are monitoring CJ McCollum. 

Not sure how much veracity I place in either narrative. 

Just passing things along as a pubic cervix, er, a PUBLIC SERVICE.

On Brad Beal

Knicks "open to giving up assets", do not want to let 15 mil in cap space expire

Sorry for the late notice

7 PM start

Westchester at Austin

MSG Network

[kidcarter8]

J Johnson of Duke has left school

Character flaw?

(Team is 9-8, 7-6)

[facilitatorn]

Sounds like he wasn’t all the way back from injury. Why preserve your amateur status when you can train and rehab with pros and take money for it when you know you aren’t helping your team.

Right move by Johnson even if it knocks him down a few spots. 

[bodiddley]

My impression is that BKY is better when only 2 of the Big 3 play.  Maybe they can figure out a semi-credible defensive scheme
as they get more time together.  But do you really expect Nash and D'ant to instill and defense?  And how good can you expect your D to be when you have Kyrie, Harden and often Joe Harris out ther?
They've been an offensive juggernaut when those guys & KD play with Jeff Green at C.  But hemorrhage points. 

Harden at PG was a smart adjustment.  But they're likely going to need to stagger minutes, so the bench unit has Kyrie at PG and sometimes KD with him.
I'd be aiming to have 2/3rds of the Big 3 out there almost all 48 ...
