    Yeah that’s a good way to look at it. Sure.

    Yeah, when I saw that we signed him to a training camp deal I watched a bunch of video on the young guy and like I said, he moves really well on both ends, he can make open threes and when he's engaged he has good timing both when rebounding and when protecting the rim... he also doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He did seem to check out of the game at time last season with OKC but that would obviously be something he'd be looking to show was situational while he's here in training camp.

    Out of everyone we've picked up on an exhibit 10 deal, he's the one I'd like to see us plug into that second two way spot. We need another big body and he happens to be one who also has the ability to do a lot of things that I like.

    If you're interested in learning about the Raptors as well as a bit of a discussion on the Blazers and whether certain defensive schemes can work in the NBA, I had an awesome conversation with Samson Folk of Raptors Republic. It would mean a lot if you checked it out!

    OT: Becky Hammond with some clutch coaching calls.

    Tough loss for the Storm. Exciting game. I thought that 3 by Sue Bird was for the win

    I suppose this could happen at any sporting event.

    Somebody did a split screen. I guess they’ve put her in the big screen at Yankees games doing the same thing.

    The Athletic is ranking every team’s offseason. They revealed 21-30 and we were not on it. I wonder if they consider Dame coming back to be part of our offseason. In which case, we may be top 10.

    Anyone know what's going on with the rumor that two expansion teams will be announced during Clippers preseason games in Seattle?

    It's not an expansion, it's a relocation.

    However, due to his age, he will be injured all season.

    The new Clipper arena in Inglewood is going to be off the charts, or at least it should for 2 billion

    KPTV reported this morning that the NBA could be announcing the expansion of 2 teams. One in Seattle and One in Vegas. Don't know who their source is.

    I think it makes sense to have the two new teams start playing in Fall of 2025 because that's when the new TV deal starts but maybe they'll want those markets established for a year by then. If it's not until 2025, I can't see the league announcing now but they definitely could if it's for 2024-25.
