    Just my guess work based on his contract situation and Pelicans shape.

    Stauskas is a guard and Layman has handles.

    This isn't unexpected. It was very predictable. I'm just waiting for Jaylen Brown to make a similar fuss and force his way out. He's my dream SF for our team.

    Rozier? Agree.
    Brown? I'd trade half our roster for him.

    What's the deal with Gordon Hayward? His numbers are shitty.

    He hasn't played ball in a year and still looks like he's moving half speed. I'm guessing he'll come back but that contract is looking horrible at the moment.

    That, and they've got too many players who can play and want minutes. They play too slow to actually make this depth work in their favor. Too few possessions, not enough numbers, not enough minutes, etc etc. And Tatum was anointed too early. They also have 4 first rounders coming in next summer. There really is a thing as too much.

    I haven't heard this announced in the media until now (Simmons Tweet). Simmons must want him out and wants to help the cause, even though it may lower his return value.

    Celtics are weird. It seems like they were playing best basketball without Irving and Hayward. Something is off there, it's still early, but Hayward doesnt look the same and should be benched, but they won't do it.

    I hope they crash and burn, but I like Stevens.

    The real killer to me is efg, steph on his carreer is at like 58%, dame is at basically 51, and westbrook is at 46% - Westbrook has never gone over 50%, where as Dames has gotten better every year except one.

    I prefer to use TS%, as it also includes FT shooting. Dame is currently at .621 and Russ is at .529. For their careers, Russ' best season only beats Dame's rookie year (barely).
