    Danny Ainge is probably laughing his ass off right now.

    Jordan Bell played decently yesterday

    8 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 13 minutes

    Did you watch the game? I watched it just to see Bell. I thought Damian Jones looked much better than Bell. I don't know what the GSW roster situation is like, but if it comes down to Jones or Bell, I think Jones has the edge.

    Ok, looked it up. Jones is under contract for 2017-18 with team options for 2018--19 and 2019-20.

    Jones is a 7 footer and a center?

    Yes, but his game is like Bell's only more refined/advanced. Aggressive rim protector, high motor guy.

    He is gonna play some minutes next season then if they don't bring back McGee. Bell is a power forward though.

    Bell is a power forward/small ball center (he can't stretch the floor like a modern power forward). I think Jones could guard PFs just as well, maybe better than Bell. Neither one can space the floor on offense.

    Doesn't sound too bad. They are holding him out of the rest of summer league, but said they expect him to resume normal activity in 1 - 2 weeks.

    He actually came down on the back of a teammate's foot. This wasn't a Zaza closeout.

    Yeah. It was definitely best case scenario for them. When I watched the play live and saw how long Fultz stayed down I thought it could have been something more serious.

    It looked like their second year Frenchman, TLC, might have had a concussion on the same play.

    And they wheeled him out of the locker room in a wheel chair. With all the injuries those guys have had, they aren't taking any chances.

    Probably to put up new ones with the new logos? Crazy thought, Computer.

    They will keep Bell due to his contract. Golden St needs contract like his due to how far there over the LT.

    I remember thinking that OKC would regret passing on rookie sensation Tyreke Evans to go with that chubby shooting guard from ASU.
