    I am a fan of Jay Huff. Wish we got him to play behind Deni and Tou.

    Ryan Rollins stays with MIL. Get urself a shooter Joe. This is bound to be a poor 3pt team.

    NBA has instituted a change to end of the quarter heaves from distance. They will now only count against team shooting percentage. They will not count against individual shooting percentages.

    Yep

    Can't allow star players shooting percentages to be hurt

    Only for summer league

    Under 3s, beyond 36ft

    Seems fine. I wonder if it will encourage players to jack a half court shot instead of trying to get closer though.

    At least we won't have to watch guys holding the ball until they hear the horn and then give a halfassed heave. It will result in more end of quarter makes from beyond half court.

    I like it honestly. Players are judged big time by their shooting percentages and those heaves hurt that. I’m in favor of it

    He’s won MVP, been to multiple WCFs, and nearly beat the KD Warriors.

    If I owned a team I'd gladly pay $26 million for an all league defender who shoots over 37% from 3...

    So the Clippers prefer John Collins over Norm? Both ending contracts and Collins make more.
    Plus, the Clippers threw in a 2nd. Not sure what that says about Norm.
