Knicks ink Luka Samanic to 2-way contract.

Spurs selected him at #19 in 2019 draft.

I believe this might [MIGHT] explain the strategy which had us put one of our #1 picks on ice until [potentially] 2022, and make one of our three second round picks a Euro-Stash.


Yep.

And that the delayed PICK is more valuable in a forthcoming deal.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has spoken up in defense of benched Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving, who has steadfastly refused to get the COVID-19 shot.

Jason Whitlock

[elephant]

Whitlock says a lot of ignorant things.

In a Fox video with Tucker Carlson, he explains that men are being "emasculated," especially those with traditional Christian values. He offers no support for this hyperbole, but apparently millions of Americans have opinions/beliefs that he doesn't share so, you know, that's like cutting off his dick and all.

Anyhow, his argument is that Kyrie shouldn't have to get vaccinated, because he is young and healthy and doesn't need one. Even if that were true (and it ain't), his insistence on looking at it as a personal issue and not a social issue (personal health versus the health of the community) is shallow and pathetic.

I mean, fuck, all these guys have to do is look what happen to Karl-Anthony Towns' family.  But they don't. Pretend it's not happening

Better still...this right wing Uncle compared Irving's "struggle" to that of Muhammad Ali's draft resistance, which is a load of crap.  Ali was facing prison, and didn't have a 17 million nest egg.

Yeah, I meant to add this quote, but something is funky with the site software.

[so strange....i've tried to submit this 5 times]

"Irving's noncompliance could be the most courageous form of athletic civil disobedience since Muhammed Ali refused induction into the United States military.....Unlike LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick and other China-beholden American influencers, Irving isn't crowdsourcing his actions through Twitter's rigged algorithm."

This is Whitlock's idea of courage.

Full Whitlock FEARLESS podcast episode with Gruden case and Kyrie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itXu58ghK80

Kyrie talk starts around 56:00

Kid is still falling off his flat earth.

Seems there could be something to the Obi and Randle situational small ball front court.

Good to see Mitch back, rust and all.

Rose is a better player than Walker right now.

Gafford starting to figure things out on the Wiz.

All in all a good preseason.

[kidcarter8]

Quickley is impossible to watch

Enjoyed the Grimes minutes

Kemba has warts?  Imagine that.

[facilitatorn]

Tough all around night for Boston.

The Celts are looking a little too soft to do anything in the east this year.

[bodiddley]

Catching a replay:

First 2.5 minutes, Randle & Kemba twice get confused and leave Dinwiddie wide open for a 3 on both sides.  Er, pretty basic stuff.  Randle has to be willing to guard the perimeter.  I expect we'll see teams run a good amount of PG/PF P'n'R's to take advantage of Kemba and Randle on D.  Try to get two mismatches: Kemba with a Big down low and Randle on a PG outside.

Early 2Q, ObiT guards the inbounds like an enthusiastic junior highschooler.
Kemba unable to stop anyone.  Fournier looked like a stranger.
RJB continues to develop much faster than I expected.

Gafford had a terrific 1st half.
Avdija needs to up his motor.
Dinwiddie a skilled grinder.
If Dinwid and Beal mesh, and Gaffords is solid, Wiz could have a nice season.
Surprisingly two deep at every position.  Just a lot of new players to get on the same page.

A Very Bradley and Jordan Bell waived by GSW.

Did you watch the fourth quarter, Coach?

[kidcarter8]
