Bridges and Shamet get major boost in dollars next year and Suns looking to fit Ayton in.

On the contrary, great stuff, the NBA once again leading the way in handling the pandemic among sports leagues! Fewer athletes, trainers, coaches, kids, parents, cousins, friends, families impacted by the bad disease. Nice!

*** anyway kiid, it could be worse, much worse, lol, lol, lol: https://nationalpost.com/news/world/thousands-of-guests-locked-in-shanghai-disneyland-after-woman-tests-covid-19-positive

Not nice: Randall setting the stage for us to squander a game by following the perfect execution of the first quarter with an unending streak of boneheaded selfishness, machismo and laziness to end the second. Bad shot after turnover after.... just ugly...big lead gone poof for no reason. Then,  Raps brought the championship defense. Live and learn. Lots to learn!

Really really nice: Watching idiots lose their jobs for turning down the jab thus raising the collective IQ's of governments, agencies and companies across the country!

Yeah Kemba and Randle fumbled and bumbled this one away. Drive and kick was working so we switched to face up and bull through. Rough. Let us never do that again.

Nope.
The Suns are declining the third-year rookie option on Jalen Smith. That will make the former top-10 choice an unrestricted free agent after only his second NBA season.

Quote
Rookie-scale contracts for first-round picks only have two guaranteed seasons. They then include two team options that must be decided upon early in the preceding season.

Decline the team option and you have no extant rights.

Moreover, Suns are restricted in what they can offer Jalen Smith if they want to keep him:
Quote
When a team declines a rookie option, the most it is allowed to pay that player the following off season is whatever the amount that option would have paid him. In Smith's case, that would have been roughly $4.7 million.

So they can try to retain Smith for less than that if they still have any interest.
Also, any team could offer $5M+ and outbid PHX.

Even though a guy at his position (PF - Saric) is out for the year, Smith couldn't crack the rotation and PHX is willing to drop him for $4.7M.  Extremely unimpressive.  Teams just don't give up the rights to #10 draft picks a two weeks into their 2nd season.

So that's 3 out of 7 games in which a wing went off for a career high v. NYK.
Jaylen 46 in G1; Ross a 22 point 4Q; OhGee Anunoby dropping 36.
Two of those were losses and the other a 2OT W.

Trent looked great out there on both ends.

Weird with Randle. Scored 18 in the first quarter and then had one of the worse games I've seen him play.

Taj sprained his ankle so gets some daddy time in while he heals. Next man up. If Nerlins is ready it is probably him. I would rather see more Obi at this point instead.

Toronto has damn good defensive pieces. When we see them again they likely will have added Pascal and Scotty to the mix. Getting good looks will be tough.

 Simms

Lets see Simms.  And Grimes/McBride ten plus minute games couldn't hurt.

Re:  Raptors

Forget what I said about Siakam leaving.  He played the role of excellent team guy last night

Interesting that a good portion of the Miami haul was also missing for TOR.  They're deep.

Teams are giving us trouble with young legs.

Thanks for the link.  I was a Tech fan when Salley was there (my college days).

Took me to this as well
