    They let Joe Young go. Leaf I haven't been impressed with, especially defensively. Anigbogu is non-guaranteed, I'm not sure if they are keeping him or not. Holiday looks pretty good in this summer league game right now though. If he's good enough to start in Collison's spot next year it does help a little bit.

    I'm not just saying this because I'm a Blazers fan and I realize that I'm likely on an island given how awesome of a year Oladipo had, but I still would've traded George for draft picks and started over. I'm not just using hindsight either because I said this on the day of the 2017 draft before Donovan Mitchell became a star.

    I would've traded George to the Blazers for Harkless, Davis, Napier, and our 3 picks in 2017. With picks 15, 18, 20, and 26 they would have had all kinds of possibilities. At the very minimum they could've done the same trade we did to move up to 10 (15 and 20) to get Mitchell. At 18 they could've taken John Collins and at 26 they could've taken Kyle Kuzma or whoever was still available. A core moving forward of Myles Turner, Donovan Mitchell, John Collins, and Kyle Kuzma with even more cap space (Harkless is way less than Oladip0) seems to me like a better long term plan. They also I believe could've taken Zach at 10 like we did and traded 18 and 26 (and maybe something else) to Denver for 13 and still gotten Mitchell. Denver traded 13 for pick 24 and Trey Lyles so I think that the Pacers could've beaten that offer. Then your core would be Mitchell, Zach Collins, and Myles Turner which is also pretty good I think. Obviously they wouldn't have been as good last year but then they would've likely had another lottery pick right now to add to that core instead of the 23rd pick.

    Like I said, I know I'm pretty much alone here but that's what I would've done with Paul George. Now they are doubling down by signing vets.

    Wow, will be interesting to see if the Bulls match. Kind of wondering what the Kings are doing. They have a lot of wings and guards.

    Nothing will justify letting Davis walk.

    He could be an allstar in the eastern conference and he could start...his next payday won't come cheap after this one year deal..I look at him like Mason Plumlee...I'm sure Ed wants to start at some point in his career and he could do that with the Nets
