I've been fooled by looking at per 36 before when it came to Alize(boy was I wrong on him), but Moses Brown looks mildly interesting. His per 36 for his career is almost 15/15. Last year in just 20 minutes per game he averaged nearly 9/9. 

 

He's certainly of interest to me. 

According to Mavs fans he's the definition of a project. Like, real athletic, but gets lost at times.

Also, Bulls are tied for #1 in the east again and facing the Kings. A RealGM article has dubbed them the ad-hoc Bulls and that's pretty much perfect.

Don't make him be the point guard. Just let him shoot and shoot and shoot, and he goes from being below average to pretty valuable. It's so nice having a coach who knows what he is doing.

Can't blame the last coach for trying to make him a PG when there were no other options available.  Now we're swimming in PG's.  The coach was prolly acting at management's orders anyway.  Coby's become better at it over the course of his career.

It was after that 2018 trade to the San Antonio Spurs that something magical transpired: DeMar got pissed off. Not like before. Not like when he was furiously pounding the rock by himself in the empty, summertime gyms he made a home of following those playoff losses. He wanted to recreate himself, and at this point in his career he was patient enough to do the type of necessary back-breaking work. So DeMar went to learn from Greg Popovich, and played an ungodly amount of minutes at positions he never expected, and when it was time for free agency last summer, he blew into the Windy City, and to everyone’s surprise became the closest doppleganger to Mike that Chicago has seen since His Airness flew above the floor.

This GQ article is a great read.

Fire up Lebrons tiny violin lol

 

Tbh, the most logical move for the Lakers (independent of LeBron's wishes) would have been nuking the hell out of the team at the trade deadline. They could have gotten a ransom for LeBron, fortune for AD (you have to consider injuries), and maybe some second rounders for Melo, Dwight, and Jordan.

More than anything I'm confused why so many gave the lakers high marks this offseason.

Lakers: B+

Chicago: B

I think they all just default to approving everything associated with Lebron until proved otherwise

Someone needs to say it.  Let's be honest here, with LeBron's history of ditching teams, what is the incentive to blow up your franchise long term for him?  He could be gone at anytime, and you inherit the mess minus James.

The incentive is a title.  Clearly they did not have a good plan coming into this season and counted on Russ to be old Russ, but the title is the reason always.  They don't care what happens after if they get the title

LA is one of the very few franchises which can be bigger than their superstar.  If LeBron doesn't like it, its only a matter of time before the next guy is there.

I mean, they gave him what he wanted.  You can't blame them for being like "well now you gotta figure it out because you won't be here forever"

31 for Coby 

35+ for Demar again.

Simply incredible.

Also Sabonis is trash.

Coby really stepped up with Zach out these last few games. If he wasn't as effective, DeMar would have gotten doubled a hell of a lot more. And he was already getting doubled a ton, especially tonight.
