Yeah, that'll do it.

The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.

Sounds like he's becoming or mimicking the Antonio Brown of football

Problem with Orlando is that both Banchero AND the coach probably need to go. Four seasons in, the analytics on Banchero have consistently rated him unfavorably. At some point, it's no longer just statistical noise.

His rookie year I thought Banchero was going to be the next big thing. Guy has everything going for him, should be a beast on a nightly basis. I only see Orlando when they play the Cs so I don?t have much to say about the *why*, but unless I?m missing something huge, I wouldn?t mind seeing him in green.

They wouldn?t move on from Banchero. He was the #1 pick a few years ago, turned 23 less than 6 months ago and averaged 26pts/8rebs/5ast last season.

Banchero has been playing better since the All-Star break and is back to averaging those numbers again.

21 games - 25.3ppg 8.1rpg 5.6apg with 58.3% TS.

Before the ASG

43 games - 21.3ppg 8.4rpg 4.8apg with 55.9% TS

So he has upped his scoring and scoring efficiency since he ASG. He took blame for not playing as well he could do. Said he did not deserve to be an AS this season. Has redoubled his efforts and now playing better again.

League average TS% is 58.1%. So he is right around league average now after being well below league average pre-ASG.

Exactly. There is no chance they are moving on from him at this stage. He still has immense upside.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Wemby in 31 mins tonight: 41pts/16rebs/4ast/3blks/1stl. 17-27 from the field, 3-6 from 3pt. 4-4 from the line. He is the most dominant player in the NBA.

RealGM has a forum post saying San Antonio has won 25 of their last 27 games with a point differential of +17.

That is a huge streak.
