    I said that when they announced the deal. We don't have early bird rights. Best we can hope for is that he accepts the MLE or something like that if we decide to keep him.

    kanter is getting pushed to third string. And zach's somewhat OK three pt shot is the only reason to play him over harry. think those two can play together.

    I like the look of Nurk/Giles/RoCo in the Front court. Giles(in this game) is what I’ve wanted from Zach. Can’t wait to see them play together.

    Zach
    Giles
    DJJ
    Trent
    Dame

    Would be a fun one for a few min.

    Okay, aside from all the Giles love, I gotta say the most encouraging part of the game was how good DJJ/RoCo looked. Perfect low usage, do it all forwards that compliment our best players.

    What a fun game! Our team is deeper than a Chicago pizza.

    Any comparisons of RoCo and Jones Jr to Aminu and Harkless can be put to rest. They are conservatively 10x better than that old combo.

    Many first rounds picks have looked worse in their first game, so I'm not really buying this as a summation.

    I don't know if he can hit the three like that but like I said the kid has been a monster and on scouts radar since he was really really young. His entire career has just been derailed by so many injuries so far.

    Giles is battling Kanter for the back up center and Zach when he gets back more likely will play the backup PF. I love to Giles and Zach playing beside each other.

    That take is about 9x times premature after one preseason game vs the Kings.

    Roco's three is absolutely wet. DJ needs some work, but he's so active off the ball, unlike Mo. But their arms are massive taking up the whole key while we were in a zone.

    Kanter will have his uses against size but Giles is a better fit against more teams, especially second units. Kanter is more Nurk insurance imo.

    know what would be a fun duo? Harry and Zach.

    This is the disgraced (former) long term announcer for the Kings, fwiw.

    So much to like about this roster.
    On so many levels.

    Blazers can beat any team.

    This is going to be a fun season!
