You should try loving Luka. Overall it's been an amazing ride from the moment Dallas got him. 95% awesomeness. But good lord when he costs 2-5 buckets per game with both hands up and wide and a big complaining session begins...I want to scream.
-210. Victor +150
Don’t tell Scoot
Nice deal for the Knicks if it gets finalized. Barrett is on Team Canada and could become a fan favorite in Toronto. Just feels like teams like the Raptors and Bulls had an opportune time to change things up last season
It’s the Pistons 2024 second so it’s basically a first, but yeah, Memphis supposedly offered them 3 firsts last year.
I’m a fan. He just has no shot at being rookie of the year
The strategy of wearing down Jokic is much easier said than done, but Chet seemed to do a good job of gassing the big man by constantly setting up near the 3-pt line and making Jokic have to come out and guard him.
He suggested it himself.
Has anybody in here made a strong argument to the contrary? I sure haven't and haven't heard any local a shills suggesting it. That shot needs a LOT of work.
But man, can he drop a dime.

"Trying to get Rookie of the Year, that's still my goal," Henderson told CBS Sports after the Blazers' 126-106 loss to the Warriors on Saturday. "That's still up in the air, I think."
On the other end, the Thunder (and others) seem to be onto something by putting someone like Jalen Williams as the primary on Jokic and then letting Chet just roam. Jokic had 7 turnovers last night. I know it was a b2b for the Nuggets, but it was also 3 in 4 for the Thunder. That was a really impressive win last night
Winning ugly games like that is a completely new thing for this team. They're still a bunch of idiots - dumb turnovers and so many dumb technicals - but they're tough.
love this deal for the knicks. long time knicks fan. barrett just started his 4 year rookie extension, making 25mm per +. barrett is an ok player. he disappears for eons and defensively he is pretty meh. inefficient 3rd option making too much money. IQ is a nice player, but now he is an RFA looking to cash in. issue for him is that he is small and not at all a PG. he is more a scoring guard really well suited for 2nd unit. knicks had way too many G and having to pay IQ for his role just wasn’t worth the money. the knicks hit their ceiling with this group and the way they were set up. they still have fournier’s contract to move and OG is a CAA guy, repped by Leon Rose’s son. OG is a better defender and bigger body and a true F, unlike Barrett. Achiuwa might be useful with robinson dead. Man, Donovan at SG would make this team a bit more interesting. Knicks still have draft assets too. They had to do something, this group wasn’t going anywhere, maybe win a round.
Hollinger thinks Quickley was the best player in the deal. I don't think I agree - an above average wing is so much harder to find than a good small guard - but he makes an interesting case.
What source are you drawing this from?
I assume she is mostly just comparing the Bulls’ records with and without LaVine.
There have been no credible reports that teammates “hate” LaVine nor that the Bulls are “desperate” to trade him.
It would be easy for them to get rid of LaVine if they want. For example, from reports, it seems overwhelmingly likely the Lakers would trade Russell, Hachimura, and Vincent for LaVine plus a small contract. At a minimum that could save the Bulls future money plus break up the contract to smaller, easier-movable pieces. I don't think the Bulls would do that though. I think they'd demand more or decide to keep LaVine. We'll see.
Not this year. He is a -10.5 per 100 possessions with him on the court this year
I want him to do all the things you said on defense. And then recognize that this is the NBA, if effort was all it took Kenneth Faried would have been on ten consecutive all NBA teams and probably still in the league.
Yeah, Grant is not having a great season so far. He ranks 195 out of 200 qualified players in PER at only 8.6, 184th in BPM, tied for 483rd in VORP, and 166th in WS/48. Effort only gets you so far.
