heh

White scores bigtime.  Is 6-5.  The dual handling backcourt may be here to stay.

But I agree.  Seems Culver is what they are looking at.

Very very curious what NO night be willing to give us to pair RJ with Zion.

Get on that, will ya, Fac?

Thought you liked Huerter.

NO can have the 3 for Holiday & 4. Otherwise pass.

The last one gives me pause. It’s essentially Beal for Barrett.

Depends how good RJ is projected to be.
And how impatient NYK are.
Knix could surely use the outside shooting and competitiveness Beal offers.  But seems better to hope RJ develops into a Bela-level player for much cheaper.

The other trade ideas are interesting, but this one is awful:

Hornets Receive: PF Kevin Love, SG Jordan Clarkson
Cavaliers Receive: C Bismack Biyombo, PF Marvin Williams, SG Malik Monk, No. 12 pick

So CHA would give up 2 expiring contracts ($32M total), and two yute for an aging overpaid Love.  Terrible.  Try to get the 7th or 8th seed the next 2 years in exchange for a future?  Yikes.
CHA needs to do something, but preferably something smart ...

SHOOTING
Barrett has (1) moved his right hand on the side of the ball for a smoother release, and (2) turned his stance to allow for a more fluid shot. He's also (3) spread his shooting hand, so the backspin on his shot spins tight and lowered his base so he has better rhythm, Hanlen says.

"His pocket slipped up and moved in front of his left eye, so we moved it over and moved his elbow out so he has a good vision triangle," Hanlen said of Barrett, who shot 30.8 percent from beyond the arc last year at Duke.

So RJ merely had to adjust both hands and both feet to shoot better.  Simple.  I guess minor adjustments happen more than we know, and the kid is just 19 so not super-set in his ways.  but altering everything about his shot seems a little worrisome . . .
Even worrisome that it was necessary ...

[facilitatorn]

With very few exceptions everyone’s shot can be tweaked. It sounds like RJ got a big concentrated dose of shot doctoring. It will be interesting to see what it does to his game. Now that he has a process for that, getting up the next couple of levels defensively is a bigger concern.

Not necessarily, though I’d like it to be, our concern.

Heh

Welcome to Bo's annual K Love bashing.

[kiidcarter8]

Thought you liked Huerter.

NO can have the 3 for Holiday & 4. Otherwise pass.

Lol

Cause he's white?

I don't think I have ever commented on the guy.

[kiidcarter8]

Barrett will not shoot a high percentage his first year

I heard a term recently describing another guy - "he's a tough shot TAKER.  Just not yet a tough shot maker"

Contrast this with. a Knox, who pretty much takes straight on Js and dunks.

[kiidcarter8]

Zeller, Batum, Love, Clarkson, Walker, add.

[kiidcarter8]

And yeah...a 7 seed would be progress for Hornets

No series win since 2002.  Out of playoffs last 3.  40+ wins just three of last 15.

[kiidcarter8]

I know we are passing on the 3 for 8/10 deal but unless 4-7 go Hunter, Culver, Garland, White in some order, we get one of them.  And also likely Hachimura.

[kiidcarter8]

Capela to Celts being discussed.

[kiidcarter8]

Mo Wagner is available from Lakers for picks.  As is isaac Bomba and Jamario Jones.

[facilitatorn]

Grizz moves Conley to Jazz. That pretty much confirms they go Morant, leaving us RJ. Good news there.

If the Lakers want space, I’d happily take Wagner and Bonga for 55.

[facilitatorn]

Good game.  Maybe we will lose.

Huerter looks solid.  Major hops.

Not a lot of commentary. In fact I only found this. You don’t feel the same today?
