    I remember having an argument with some guy for about 10 minute about Dillon Brooks wingspan. He said only JJ Redick has a negative wing span and made it in the NBA. I am watching highlights of Brooks ball out against the Pelicans. Yeah.... the Pelicans are ass, but still, he looks like NBA material to me.

    Doesn't Monta Ellis have short arms? I don't feel like looking up arm length of Monta right now.

    Yes.

    From what I've seen of Baldwin (pretty much all today, so take it with a grain of salt) George Hill seems like a good template for Baldwin. Hill was an undersized tweener type when he got into the league who struggled with ball handing and shooting, but worked to become a solid all around point guard. Defensive potential is there for Baldwin, that's evident.

    apparently he has attitude problems, but they said the same about Nurk

    The Blazers have as good team culture as any and Dame is as effective as any captain in the league at motivating his team mates.

    How much money is Napier going to get? Didn't we get him for basically nothing?

    I don't get this move. Goodwin and Morrow have at least had really good games in the NBA regular season, this guy has done nothing. Dude can't shoot worth crap.

    I don't think he'll really be around the team much. This is an asset play pure and simple. First round pick last year for essentially free? Go get him.

    What's hard to get about taking a flier on a 21 year old that was top 20 pick only a year ago? Yeah he struggled with his shot, but was a good shooter in college so all hope isn't lost.

    Neither Goodwin or Morrow are eligible for two way contracts anyway.
