    Well I compared him with Harden before he was drafted. Turns out he's better!

    Did anyone REALLY say Googs was like Bird? Like Tom Chambers, maybe...

    What Nick Nurse is doing in Toronto without Kawhi and Green is VERY impressive. That is a real coach right there.

    Especially with Lowry and Ibaka both out with injuries.

    Oh, I wouldn't say the end is near for the Lakers just yet. I think you're jumping the gun.

    Yes. He was supposed to be the next Bird.

    Talk on NBA twitter/reddit about Derozan and Murray being on the move after they deleted and unfollowed everything Spurs related on social.

    To MIA is the speculation. Murray can't be moved for a while.

    I'm interested in neither, but this could give some indication to Aldridge's availability

    Interesting what would MIA have that the spurs would want?

    Winslow? In a trade for DeRozan, I don't think Spurs can expect to do any better than Winslow and expirings (and that would be overpay for DeRozan). Maybe Dragic would be interesting.

    Murray can't be traded until February though.

    Murray has one of those poison pill contracts this year. It's almost impossible to trade him to a team that is hard capped or over the cap at all.

    He's not going anywhere this year.

    What's funny for Miami is they only have one 2nd round pick in 2022 that they can legally trade because you can only trade draft picks this season through 2026. That leaves them with very little assets to get deals done.

    That's weird if true - Murray is their only bright prospect.

    Good point about Miami being hard capped. Impossible for them to get Murray as he counts as $3m or so outgoing salary but $15m incoming for Miami. They'd need to find a third team to take on one of their bigger deals.

    I think Orlando may be more likely here. They don't have cap space either though so would have to send someone like Fournier somewhere else, and I'm not sure how many teams in NBA actually have cap space to take on contracts now. Atlanta?

    And I think he's damn good. He just signed a sizeable extension

    The speculation with Murray is that he is upset he got benched for White.

    Someone in the starting lineup said they were more comfortable with White. Murray recently unfollowed LMA and deleted his photo with LMA, so there's probably something going on there.
