    Exactly what The Raptors did for Kawhi before he left.

    We should change Jermi's last name to Antetokounmpo.

    Jase Richardson has been very impressive so far on preseason.

    Orlando needed a dynamic off ball player and now they've got two in Des and Jase.

    Very high on what they could do this year.

    Wendell looks like he's set for a bounce back offensive year too. Jumper looks pure and overall just a way more confident player than I saw last year.

    My worries are around Suggs injury recovery and I'm not totally sold on Banchero offensively against top teams. Franz's jumper still looks shaky too. The hitch is gone and release point is in a better spot now it's just super slow and has looked iffy in tight windows so not sure what to do with that haha.

    I wonder if Orlando might consider a Suggs for Jrue swap later in the year if it looks like they've got a shot at the finals. Would we? I like that better than anything Houston is likely to offer. A straight up swap works, according to the Trade Machine. However they've stuck with Suggs through thick and thin (his first year was as disappointing as Scoot's) so probably not. And if their reason for wanting to trade him is that they don't see him ever staying healthy, then we want no part of that.

    FAMS! This shit is OVER! Victor Wimbanyama is the best player in the NBA! FLAT out!
    They are playing Indy right now and I just started watching my recording of the game. 3 minutes in, this dude has 1 steal 1 block 10 points and 5 rebounds! He just stripped their PG and took it full court and dropped a dime for an ally oop! UNREAL!!!

    And they are easing in Dillon Harper off the bench. I think they will be tough this season for sure.

    I see no reason why Wemby won’t be mvp caliber this season. On defense he is a huge problem: every possession teams have know where he is at all times. He will impact every single set offense possession by a team. Just brutal to deal with.

    I think everyone knows he is MVP caliber player. He was last year in his second season. Health is probably everyone's main concern.
