Kanter can reprise last season or, if he wants to improve his FA position, he could elevate his D, especially his help D and work in space.

I don't know what role Fiz envisages for Kanter, nor if Kanter will ever be able to move quick enough or get low enough to be a neutral (let alone plus) defender. But I do know he looks absolutely shredded and that he will show up at camp ready to score better and more efficiently than anyone else on the team. Kanter is going to put up numbers this year.

I agree with this take.  And I liked Bo's comparison to David Lee.  They're not the same, but their net result is.  Good-to-Great on offense.  Worth mentioning (negatively) for their defense.  Good locker room guys.  Team leaders in their own ways.

With regards to Chipstern, i am open to the notion of him returning beyond this season.  But the number I have in mind might be deemed "insulting"

Believe it or not, but Darko just turned 33 this Summer.

Will they take a #1 pick for him?

The Houston Rockets traded Ryan Anderson and De'Anthony Melton to the Phoenix Suns for Marquese Chriss and Brandon Knight, league sources tell ESPN.

HOU needed a backup PG since CP3 misses some games.
Knight is expensive but not as much as RyAnderson.
Chriss can rebound and run the floor, but doesn't really have a game yet.  Raw.
Looks like HOU saves a few $M as well.

Not earth-shaking but looks like a very solid Ryno dump for HOU.
Adds a backup PG, gets to test drive a young pogo stick PF, save some money.

Not sure I see much point for PHX.
Do they even have a PG now?
(not much point, get it?)
Maybe it's to make up for the year when they had 3.
Ayton and Josh Jackson aren't going to do much without a PG.

I would've traded them Muddy for Chriss (I think).
I'd go with Marquese's bounciness over Vonleh's no offense.
On 2nd thought probably better to have Mud and Vonleh than Chriss.

Melton was terrific in Summer League from what i remember.

Canaan is the starter

Canaan is almost 6 feet tall with a career 37% FG.
Marginal bench journeyman.

I am sure - by the way - you dont mean Ntilikina is better because he is taller or because he was the #8 pick.

You are smarter than that.

Height = more able to play SG and more able to be a legit combo guard.  [important since there are doubts about both of them as PG's]

I dont doubt Okobo is a point

[bodiddley]

Mud too . . .

[kiidcarter8]

What about him?

Yes, he's certainly a PG.

[facilitatorn]

I’d love strong guard play to become a signature of our team. That means Mudiay and Frank need to develop, and Burke needs to maintain in the face of raised expectations and defensive focus.

A lot depends on Robinson and Vonleh picking up different defensive assignments and finding offensive roles that let them prosper.

I’m least concerned about our wings for a change heading into a season.

Lots of interesting narratives at play. 

Not the least of which is COMPETITION at every position. 

PARTICULARLY at the point.  Feeling good about Burke, Ntilikina and Mudiay.

You really should stop putting them in the same boat.  Frank is on a lower rung of the ladder.  It will be so evident this year as Mudiay continues to blossom

More drive by shootings masquerading as analysis from our PooBah of personal Prejudice, the same handicapper, one hastens to add, who had Sebastian Telfair and Jimmer Freddette singled out for greatness. 

[kiiidcarter8]

I really didn't

[Kam]

Frank Ntilikina = a young Tom Brady
Kevin Knox = Randy Moss
Porzingis = Gronkowski (of course)
Hardaway Jr. = Dion Lewis

And we should win 12-14 games easy.

[luee]

Knix get a chance to see and evaluate the youths and get rid of some of the anchorage uncle Phil brought in.

[carlos123]

I really didn't

Triple-i chiiico is definitely weirder than Double-i chiico.

Both are equally entertaining.

Now that El Trumpo made clear he’s gonna fire (via Twitter of course) Mr. Sessions in November, I think either of the chiiicos should be his next AG, he couldn’t be much worse. But remember, one of them chiicos is Mexican. What is one to do?
