    If Sarr can somewhat approximate Mobley defensively, i dont see how he doesn't go #1 in this draft

    They’re actually pretty good without Zion.

    Sacramento burned all their fillers to build their playoff team. With Grant's Blazer 4 Life top 50 contract, it will take 2 mediums or 1 beefy contract to match.

    Watching these games today I can’t help but notice that the stakes decrease when going from the play in to the first couple of games of the first round in every series. The competition is great but after watching loser goes home games this isn’t quite as exciting but that will change quickly.

    Keegan and Huerter or Barnes for Grant works. I'm not interested as a Blazers fan but our front office would probably be interested and the Kings would be much better off.

    Not sure will have any seven game series this first round. The competition just isn't there. Second round is where it gets tougher.

    The most typical Nurk move. Standing under the basket alone and doesn’t dunk the ball?

    Literally a pure Nurk moment! Standing alone under the basket and misses a bunny layup?
    That dude is allergic to dunking!
