    How often does he actually give up the offensive board though? Could be why nobody is talking about it, if it doesn’t happen much.

    I think @THE HCP 's favorite account does a good job of showing why it's stupid:

    here's a list of the new trophies :
    • The Michael Jordan Trophy: Awarded to the NBA Most Valuable Player
    • The Jerry West Trophy: Awarded to the NBA Clutch Player of the Year
    • The Hakeem Olajuwon Trophy: Awarded to the NBA Defensive Player of the Year
    • The Wilt Chamberlain Trophy: Awarded to the NBA Rookie of the Year
    • The John Havlicek Trophy: Awarded to the NBA Sixth Man of the Year
    • The George Mikan Trophy: Awarded to the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year
    The bolded one looks like a brand new trophy. If it had already existed, maybe Dame would have a few by now.

    I would love Bogdanovich but do the Blazers really need anymore SG?

    I don't think they want to dump Bey or Stewart. Bogdanovich is not worth 20 million nor the players it would take to match his salary.

    Noel, I wanted 2 years ago, but his injuries make him a bit risky. But when healthy he is a good rim protector. If we could get him cheap and if he is currently healthy, he could be worth the risk. On paper, he fills a need.

    Luka Doncic assessed technical foul after yelling at Mavericks teammate: ‘I’ll get that one back for sure’

    Early in the third quarter, Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was fouled on a layup, giving the budding star an opportunity for a three-point play.

    Doncic, frustrated with the result of the play, could be heard yelling at teammate Dwight Powell.

    The referee, thinking Doncic was complaining about the call, gave Doncic a technical foul.

    I heard CJ and Larry Nance gushing about him this season. He's the real deal if he stays healthy.

    Took Zion a few weeks to get his legs, but he's been awesome since. The defensive improvement has really stood out for me. His effort and commitment level has made a huge jump. Closeouts can still an adventure at times but his technique and movement overall has looked much better.

    It'll be interesting too see how that team meshes when BI comes back though. Putting Zion on ball more has really keyed a lot of this run for them.

    Ayton was 2/10 before he got hurt though.

    Bojan was a starter on a team with an elite defense in the 20-21 season.

    Bojan is not a SG. He is a 6’7” SF. Maybe you’re thinking of Bogdan Bogdonovich?

    You mean he was teammates with Michael Conley and Rudy Gobert?
