Can't decide who is worse between Kawhi and Ben Simmons. It's like I've never seen Kawhi play a complete season after his Raptor victory

I mean it's really not hard. Kawhi has won 2 NBA Championships and did have a great career particularly with the Spurs and then the 2019 Raptors season.

Simmons is a bum. I doubt he really cared about basketball and once he got the contract he pretty much mailed it in. A loser. Even his teammates over the years like Embiid have pretty much called him out and I doubt the Nets players love him either.

The biggest thing Simmons will be known for is his Game 7 dud and "scared to dunk" moment against Trae Young.

That "we should trade Jaylen Brown for Kawhi" narrative is looking worse and worse.

Smart is a terrible fit in Memphis. He can?t play off ball with Morant being primary ball handler. Also, if you have Morant, Smart, Bane, Jackson Jr and Edey together, that?s 3 out of 5 starters who can?t shoot.

[Who]

Hmm ... nobody signed Markelle Fultz.

He would be an excellent 3rd string PG for someone. Big defensive guard. Someone should have given him a job.

I am surprised by how highly Harden ranks All-Time in career points and career assists. Especially assists.

14th All Time in assists = 7,629
23rd All Time in points = 25,855

I didn't understand why they made that trade.  It was pretty obvious the Morant/Smart fit was going to be bad and Bane was already a great fit with Morant.  Morant isn't a good shooter so besides Bane who's the 2nd good shooter in that lineup?

He just passed Rondo in assists which makes Rondo 15th all-time. 
I'm not surprised about Harden.  He's had a long successful career, and he's got the ball in his hands all the time so he's going to rack up the points and assists.

Maybe Philly

Still baffled briissett walked away from a guaranteed contract on a championship team only to not get signed by anyone.

Wow, Donovan Clingan 14pts 20reb 4blks 4ast last night.

In only 24 minutes.

[Who]

I like the look of the Bulls (1) without Zach LaVine and (2) with Lonzo Ball back.

G: Lonzo
G: Coby White
F: Josh Giddey
F: Pat Williams
C: Niko Vucevic

That is a nice unit. Interesting balance.

Take Lonzo out though and put LaVine in and it feels too topsy turvy. Too offensive minded. Not enough defenders / team players.

[Who]

Brunson looked amazing in that 5 out offense with Towns at center. Brunson is going to be a nightmare now. Even more so than before.

I mean maybe, probably. But I question this teams chemistry. Townes is low bbiq and I don?t trust him as far as I can throw him. And who does the all the dirty work on this team? Hart ( who I am leaving wide open ) ? Yeah I?ll take my chances. The Knicks are just a poor man?s Celtics. I?m looking forward to beating this team.

[Who]

Contract extension for Moses Moody. 3yrs $39mil.

MLE type money.
