    Mobley looks like a decent consolation prize

    USA Mens Basketball lost a qualifying game to Brazil 94-79 yesterday?

    The article says that Charlie Brown was the USA’s 2nd highest scorer with 10 points. No wonder… That dude cant even kick a football.

    Too bad we don’t get to see a full strength Blazers-Mavs matchup tonight to add to the debate about which player/team is better - Lillard/Doncic, Blazers/Mavs.

    Over/Under 27.5 points for Doncic tonight?

    I'm not sure if any player has had a major ACL injury followed by a full Achilles tear 15 months later. We know that most players never come back to what they were before an Achilles tear. And many struggle to return to form after a ACL injury. Klay might not ever be the player he was. And he'll turn 33 in less than 3 months. He doesn't have youth on his side anymore

    Yeah it’s looking that way. I think he could’ve been more important than Curry at times during their championship runs. If he was knocking down his shot on that given night the other team was done.

    If Danny Angie puts Mike Conley on the trade market how does a Fox for Conley trade package sound? Fox is a lot younger but The Kings would really benefit from having a veteran like Conley running point while Utah wants to go younger.

    Sounds pretty terrible for Sacramento, and I'm not a big fox fan.

    Do they want to go younger or did they want to move away from Gobert/Mitchell?
    I font think UTAH has any desire to move Conley.

    Fox has 10x trade value of Conley.

    What's up with Johnny Davis? He seemed described as nba ready, and he has hardly played for Washington. It's not like Washington has amazing depth.

    As soon as he filmed that Taco Time commercial, skipping out on the draft for some late night grub, I had serious doubts about him as a prospect. I don't care how much they're paying, someone has to raise their hand and ask if there isn't maybe a bad message being sent there about his focus.

    gonna be difficult with CJ on the floor doing MeJ things. He's averaging 2.4 more shots than Zion; and 2 more than Ingram. Meanwhile, Zion is averaging 1.48 points/shot; Ingram is averaging 1.31; CJ is averaging 0.97 (Valunciunas 1.40; Murphy 1.39). So far this season CJ has scored 232 points on 238 shots.
