    Fair point. Just off of my head Ivey, sharpe, and Daniels all got hurt. I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting

    were you laughing when Shaedon tore his shoulder? Good grief, it's like some here never followed (let alone played) hoops. Everyone suffers injuries.

    As a pre-teen I'd go with my buddy to the Jewish Community Center where Blazers would occasionally show up for individual shooting workouts. Seeing Jim Paxson and Drazen shoot for 45 minutes or so was probably the most influential thing for my own game as it showed me what was actually possible. I kid you not, with a ball boy kicking it back out to them they'd regularly make 30-50 bombs in a row, miss one and then start the next streak without ever acting like they'd done a thing.

    Talen Horton-Tucker was once the future of the Lakers and considered untouchable. He is getting traded for Pat Bev.

    Damnit now I got a "RENT" song stuck in my head. It's a good thing.

    "Where'd you learn to tango?"

    "With the French ambassadors daughter in her dorm room at ms. Porters. And you?

    "With Nanette Himmelfarb, the rabiis daughter at the Scarsdale Jewish community center"

    God I love that musical

    Does this mean we don't get to read anymore THT for Dame trade proposals?

    Heat to win their division would be close IMO.

    Heat
    Hawks/Hornets
    Magic
    Wizards

    I might put 50€ on Blazers winning their division. It pays out 800€

    Shocker. I was saying this from day MFing one. You could NEVER convince me this guy can last in the league with a body like that. It's common fucking sense.

    Thank goodness we weren't in a position to draft him.

    If he's smart, he'll spend all season workin on his weight and body. But it's definitely not a great sign if he had a season ending injury on a non contact move.

    I dunno, it was an NBA-sanctioned event and the league was even promoting it.

    Trouble with feet are one of the most lingering and potentially career blocking injuries there are. That and Back trouble. Hopefully his youth, and quality orthotics , will keep this at bay in the future.
