    The Lakers have three stretch 4s in Nance/Kuzma/Randle, Randle would look good in a Portland jersey

    He hasn't done a lick in the NBA but could be a cheap option this off-season:

    If you consider Nance and Randle to be stretch fours, how many do the Blazers have, like 7?

    This is a pretty stupid statement. Kuzma is a rookie 7 games in and shooting an unsustainable 67% from 2p. He is a very subpar defender so far and looks good offensively but has a long ways to go before he is as good as Harkless.

    Crabbe seems to be the same old Crabbe in Brooklyn. I was in favour of matching the Nets' offer. But I was wrong. Happy that someone took this contract out of our hands.

    Okafor and Hezonja did not have their options picked up for next year. They will be free agents this summer.

    Unheard of for two top 10 picks.

    He’s more consistent than a suppose veteran like Harkless

    The Spurs would probably pick up Hezonja and turn him into a solid starter.

    Technically, the Nets only took HALF of Crabbe's contract. Blazers ate the other half with Nicholson. Blazers will be paying for that mistake for the next 6 years.

    Not sure if this has been posted either but:

    Magic Decline 18-19 Option On Mario Hezonja

    The Orlando Magic have declined their fourth year option on Mario Hezonja.

    Hezonja, who was the fifth overall pick in 2015, was shopped by the Magic leading to Tuesday's deadline.

    Hezonja joins Jahlil Okafor as another top-5 pick to have his option declined. The 2009 draft also had two players in which their teams declined their option in Hasheem Thabeet and Jonny Flynn.

    Are we winning the title this year?

    Good. Now calm down and live in reality.

    Would anyone here do Okafor for Harkless?

    I wouldn't, but it can be interesting.
