Chip--If you got that without the Google machine, kudos.

I forgot about the Chicago Packers, but remember the Zephyrs, and vaguely recall as a kid thinking that was a weird pro franchise name to choose to switch to. I wasn't wrong.

I think Bells was part of the trade to get Dave D, but I got no idea who the Knicks traded to get him originally.

And Bad News Barnes, who was a #1 pick. 

And Bank, the trade for DeB involved Bellamy AND Howie Komives. 

Bells was a damn good player, who as I recall, would give the likes of Wilt and Russell fits, while occasionally vapor locking versus the Darrell Imhoff's of the world.  The motivation for the trade was a less a matter of displeasure with Walt, as the need to eliminate a log jam at the four & five spots. 

Willis was thus able to slide over from the 4 to the 5, and with Dave at the 4, we won our only championships...none before, and none since. 

Similar situation with Cartwright and Ewing, as Patrick chaffed at the notion Hubie had of him playing at the 4.

God I wish it was.  It was Duane Allman's.  Not a great pic.

Doncic is going to be a force. 

As I recall, Larry Bird was slow and couldn't jump. 

Doncic ain't Larry Bird, but he is a heady player with physical gifts.

Did I hear right?

Lonzo Ball in the top 100, per SI?  And Melo is not?

Also this AM - discussion of a top 5

KD, LBJ, AD, Curry and Harden

Can any player crack that 5?

That's incredible! Number 100!. I'm willing to kick in 5 bucks toward the parade you're throwing

Certain to shoot up the list in time - I look forward to keeping you all updated on the progress.  Saw the "new" shooting form, which looks prettyt much like the old - with a small adjustment .

There was a question -

did Mitchell crack your top 25?  But quickly brushed aside by the panel.  Donovan's soph season surely one item to watch closely this season.

Interesting that Horford (16) checked in ahead of Irving (17).

A slight overrate for Al?  Not sure I'd have him in my 25.

At his best, the 20-year-old Ball plays a beautiful weirdo brand of hoops that would merit a full chapter if “Free Darko” ever released a sequel. His passing and vision—hailed as elite by pre-draft analysts—lived up to the hype. He proved to be a capable pace-setter and a strong rebounder for his position. Most impressively, he was a plus defender right out of the gate thanks to his good size and instincts. On paper, Ball’s role in James’s new cast is intriguing. A successful blueprint would utilize him as a secondary passer and off-ball cutter, rather than as a full-time lead guard launching misguided threes in volume. Although Ball is hardly a textbook modern backcourt prospect, the dawn of “LeBronzo” promises to carry his distinctive game to new heights. — BG
