    Bulls unbeaten since Mirotic came back. He's killing it.

    A reminder: we could have picked him instead of Nolan Smith.

    RoLo is now no longer their best player. Wonder if they're looking to move him.

    He's killin it in a 7 game stretch, if he's still averaging close to 20/8 by the ASB then he probably isn't going anywhere but if he goes back to being that 12/5 guy he normally is they will trade him and get all they can for him.

    Who was that who was advocating we trade for the oft injured Danilo Gallinari?

    Well he just literally busted his butt. :blink:

    https://basketball.realgm.com/wiret...-Indefinitely-With-Partial-Tear-Of-Left-Glute

    Danilo Gallinari will be held out of further game action while recovering from an injury of his gluteus maximus.

    Gallinari suffered a contusion to the left glute muscle, and subsequent imaging revealed a partial tear.

    Gallinari and the Clippers' medical team will continue the rehabilitation process and intend to re-evaluate the injury in January.

    Gallinari, 29, has appeared in 11 games for the Clippers this season, and has averaged 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 31.8 minutes.

    I'd assume those were all about getting rid of Turner/Meyers, not about bringing Gallinari back.

    But really, I just wanted a reason to apply the hilariously-apt term "broke-ass" to him.

    After his 38 point showing last night, Kyle Kuzma is really climbing my list of most hated NBA players. Not because of anything he's said, or any aspect of his character; but simply because he's a Laker, he could easily have been a Blazer, and his national profile continues to blow up. "Steal of the Draft!!" "Rookie of the Year contender!!" I need him to hit a rookie wall and for the rest of the league to figure out how to stop this dude, because I'm not going to be able to handle 15 years of Kuzmania...

    Do you have some incriminating photos of the Magic GM?

    For as much shit as Meyers gets, it's actually Turner, his 8.5 PER, .486 TS% and $17.1 million salary that kills any hope of that deal ever happening.

    So that means he's more balanced, not the best. The "best" player (by TPA) would have the highest sum of OPA and DPA. Both being positive (like Napier) but low is not as good as having a large positive more than offsetting a small negative (like Dame).

    But who's to say what point he is affixed to? What part of the picture is the point? I'd wager to say his shoulders aren't it. I'd choose the very center of the pic.
