I wouldn't do OG for Simmons straight up, let alone adding other stuff. It's not that I'm overly high on OG (he might actually never make all-star like...

[inthepaint]

Fire Nurse. Took too long to get Banton in....

[inthepaint]

Simmons is unwilling to shoot, and unwilling to play other positions to try to mitigate that. He doesn't recognize that as an area he needs to work on...

[inthepaint]

This is all ancient history. Two players got traded because it made sense for both teams at the time. Other times, players move even though it's not in...

[inthepaint]

Gotta make it to the first round first, but yeah, it will be fun to see the growth and potential of these guys...

[inthepaint]

The other thing too is, these things tend to be a bit different the second time around. He left, didn't work out there; org probably said "fine,...

[inthepaint]

They will block it while it's happening, so you can't watch it live, but then it's available as a full replay (with rewind and fast forward) about an...

Cord-cutting lo-down:

That's a beautiful GIF.

When the game is not going his way, Schroder sometimes does shit like this:

[inthepaint]

He will most likely be better than MT. Thomas was/is an excellent shooter but his challenge was to get himself open to release the shot. Dekker doesn't...

[inthepaint]

My vote is Dekker and Wainwright. When we get a game where the whole fast-and-lenghty transition game is getting bogged down, one of these 2 can come...

[inthepaint]

Well, that's why he's on the 14th-15th man zone. If he was a lock-down defender on top of what he can do offensively, he'd be a starter. In that zone,...

[inthepaint]

He had 18 pts (second highest scorer) in 16 minutes (third fewest minutes), 80% from 3. As a result, drew a ton of attention from the opposing defence,...

[inthepaint]

It looks they confirmed they'll pick up Yuta's option:

So...

[inthepaint]

I agree, we need to balance this team out with more outside shooting. Dekker is not going to always be this hot, but a guy like him can attract a lot...

[inthepaint]

Only 3 pre-season games, but so far, the eye-test positive impact rank (considering both ends):

OG
Fred
Barnes
Achiuwa...

[inthepaint]

Yeah but are you talking about 2018-2019 Gasol or 2021-2022 Gasol? They're different players. The latter is washed, fouls a lot, and is too much of a...

[inthepaint]

There will be several winning streaks and losing streaks like every year, but I said before pre-season: this team will likely end around .500. It's a...

[inthepaint]

Here's the other thing that limits the opponent's offensive boards: they have to get back quickly because the Raptors strong transition offence. If the...

[inthepaint]

Great points. If our identity now is fast, lenghty, positionless, and versatile defensively, let's not sacrifice that by getting a crappy lumbering centre...
