    They literally pulled our pants off.

    Honestly, it was just a really bad shooting night for CJ. Really bad. A lot of wasted possessions.

    Honestly it seems like CJ never gets wide open looks from three; he's a good three point shooter but it seems like he's always shooting them under pressure. Same with Dame. On the Warriors they'd be so open it would be like a layup drill. Kind of like the Warriors are now.

    In both the Blazers losses, I felt like they beat themselves; especially the Washington game. That feels oddly encouraging to me.

    WOW



    That Jimmy Butler trade is going to shit for Minny, What are they doing? Either this dude is broken physically with all his injuries, or they're stupid as hell.

    Big shock to me on that one. Dude went from complete unknown to pre-draft darling to utter obscurity in record time.

    Really curious to see if either he or Dragan Bender will get waived. Wouldn't be surprised to see Neil bring one of these dudes in like he did with Wade last year.

    In the meantime, Zach LaVine is averaging 28 ppg and congratulations to Kris Dunn for no longer being the worst player involved in that trade:

    "The Bulls have exercised their 2019/20 team options on three players, announcing today in a press release that Lauri Markkanen, Kris Dunn, and Denzel Valentine have all had their salaries guaranteed for next season."

    Yup, I'll say the same thing I said about Swanigan. If I was a GM I wouldn't decline the 3rd or 4th year options on a 1st round pick unless they were never going to play again or Nolan Smith level bad. The thing is, if they just picked up his option or traded him before today he'd actually have some trade value as I'm sure one team would still like what they saw in draft evaluations and would take a chance on him (same with Bender). Now even if a team does like him still they have to judge whether it's worth it or not since it will be harder to keep him after this season.

    Turner, Aminu, and a lottery protected 1st for Butler and Patton.

    Malachi Richardson and Henry Ellenson are also not getting their 4th year option picked up.

    I didn’t. I’m just more so acknowledging the irony of it

    Kind of surprised that Caldwell-Pope is not
    He was a huge recruit for Creighton, big East freshman of the year. Although like most young bigs was not ready to go pro.
    Should have stayed in college. Still I am surprised he sucked so bad they gave up on him already.

    I was on the Hutchinson train too. A little early to write him off, Stauskas is a good example of someone who flourished in the right situation.

    Oden was good. Injuries destroyed him.
