    Napier has a quad strain. Out for fan fest. Hasn't practiced since Wednesday.

    I wrote that to write this

    Who's ready for the Briscoe era?

    If we got more news about our team, we might not feel the need to talk about cheese fams. This is the least news, footage, etc that we've seen from training camp in years.

    With that said, here is the last cheese case that I completely curated myself.

    More on Briscoe

    He tested top 3 among guards at the combine in the shuttle run. Top 10 in lane agility. He did that despite 11% body fat. I imagine he's lost some of that since being in an NBA program. His hands also measured larger than Zach Collins. The wingspan has already been talked about.

    If you watch tape on him you'll quickly realize how easily he finishes with either hand at the rim. That kind of stuff usually translates.


    What I'm saying is if he makes the team I want a cut.

    Felton is useless fat. Briscoe actually uses his size to finish at the rim, like a Kyle Lowry

    so, has our PGOTF finally arrived? lol, but Briscoe was fun to watch in this setting and cj and stotts both said this is what he has been showing throughout the week. I saw that the warriors had cut antonious Cleveland, another fan favorite from summer league

    Olshey was on today. Interesting to hear him talk about how they look to build their roster. Said their trade strategy is pretty much to look for guys they liked in the draft process that for whatever reason ended up somewhere else. Called it a "second draft."

    So what he was trying to say is Hezonja coming

    As much as I was pulling for Noah, I think it's time to move him... Something like this should work for both teams.

    Sounds about right. Might as well use that logjam we have at the four to upgrade our lack of depth at SG/SF. Vonleh for Hezonja is fair. Magic don't really have much depth in the front court and he fits their rebuild.

    But then he has to trade away the players he acquired the same way

    Sometimes. Other times he trades away assets he doesn't value highly, like 2nd-round picks or PAM. Or sometimes nothing at all, as in the case of the Harkless acquisition.
