I will admit I never expected Anthony Edwards to be this good. When he said his first love was football, I was turned off, but he has proved me wrong and love his personality after games. 

I had an Arizona coach tell me he was a big time boom or bust. He didn’t think there would be any in between with him. Since there’s a lot of Arizona ties with the warriors he told me they were strongly leaning towards wiseman after they got the no. 1 pick. He thought it was a mistake

I worry about the nets more next year cause you saw Irving with Lebron that eventually he wants to be out of the shadow. KD is being slept on. When he’s healthy I’d argue he’s the second best player in the league. Love watching him play but he’s such a b off the court 

Top 20 player of all time. I think he just gets bored. Basketball players have more free time than any other sport.

He could move up into the top 15 by the time he’s done if his health allows. Gotta feel for thunders fans. Frankly if they dealt westbrook and kept harden with Durant i feel like they would’ve been better off and possibly won a title. They are a much better pairing than westbrook

[Neubeck] The full Sixers-Thunder-Knicks deal, per league source: Philly gets: George Hill, Iggy Brazdeikis OKC gets: Tony Bradley, Philly's 2nd round picks in 2025 and 2026, and Austin Rivers Knicks get: Terrance Ferguson, Vincent Poirier, 2021 2nd round pick from Philly

I won't lie, I'm going to miss Poirier putting his monstrously long arms up from the back row any time anyone does something good. He's my second favourite cheerleader after Dwight.

Barry Jackson: With 76ers no longer pursuing Lowry (per ESPN), Heat obviously remains very much in it. A source said Lakers and Clippers also have engaged. 

There goes Ball.

Ug quota. Check.

I lied, it was a fake account.

Per wiki: Brazdeikis is a right-handed athlete who shoots left-handed in basketball. He will fit right in here.

Simmons can teach him how to shoot

He is clearly the 2nd best player in the league, but he lacks the mental toughness to go along with his prodigious talent. If they run into adversity, I don't see who is rallying the troops. Durant? Harden? Irving (lol)? Harden is the best bet.

What could go wrong.

What a boring last 50 minutes.

Not sure how much adversity they are running into tbh. Even against the sixers I’m not sure the sixers if they are fully healthy have enough offense to shut them down enough. 

Good explanation of top shots and the market place on espn right now.

They aren't rolling through a healthy Sixers team easily, let alone a healthy Lakers team.

I don’t think they are going to have as much adversity as you think. Doesnt mean they are gonna roll but it also doesn’t mean they are going to face something like being down 3-2 either

I will disagree especially Sixers. Let Joel get his 35 a night and make others work for it. Sixers need offensive firepower. 

It all comes down to KD hamstring and is it healthy. 

I think we are getting oladipo + reddick. Just wild speculation.

OK, let's agree to disagree. I think people are massively overrating the Nets.

If both teams are healthy, prior to any moves today, I'd take the Lakers to beat them in the finals.

In my opinion talent always wins and to me Doc isn't a good enough coach to overcome that. He was a HUGE part on why they lost the Nuggets series when they were up 3-1. Any novice fan could see Harrell on Joker wasn't working and yet he kept trotting out Harrell. 

 

[John Lund] Warriors Insider @MontePooleNBCS tells us GS active in trade market, they like but don’t love Oubre & he "would be surprised” if they don’t make some type of move today. (May or may not involve Oubre), Danny Green mentioned from #76ers, but not straight up for Oubre. @KNBR

[Ellis] The Bulls are out [on Lonzo Ball]. It looks as if Ball will finish the season in New Orleans.
