    Not sure if it's been mentioned. But, MEM pick is top 5 protected only.

    Given their injury history, MEM is always a perpetual lottery watch team.

    I don't self-medicate, it would mix really badly with all the alcohol I drink to keep the darkness at bay.

    Conspiracy theory: Quick broke into Plumlee's car so that he'd have something to write about.

    Nah, I'm guessing it was Meyers that broke into Plumlee's car.

    Meyers was hoping to "borrow" Plumlees's BBIQ before he left for Denver.

    Sad to see Plumlee go. He really set a great example to his teammates with his work rate.
    Plums with Jokic will be a killer passing front court for Denver - but will only work if Mason can develop that mid range jumper to keep defenses honest (and something I'm willing to let another fan-base watch develop (or not)).

    That said, I am excited by the addition of the 'Bosnian Beast' and really think his chippy attitude and toughness down low is exactly what this team needs. Doesn't hurt that he appears to have great fundamentals, along with what looks like great footwork for a guy his size.

    That we got a first round pick on top is gravy :rockon:

    Got two more pages. The obvious nickname when he dunks on someone and puts the ball or their chest is Jerkich. I hope to see that someone else said it first. "He went full Jerkich"

    when i saw the headline i was (obviously) like, please let it be for Meyley Biebtard, but alas - it's the sole guy left who is waiting to be paid, this years effort guy, who we are shipping out.

    part of making up for the shitfest of signings last season is that we have to trade real assets to move forwards, and we're light af on them really.

    I'm hopeful of what can eventuate outta this, but if all this is some fuckin smokescreen to start meyers at PF, someone gone die.

    That's what he gets for parking it in Chicago. It's carnage.

    I wonder if DEN starts Mase at the 4 next to Jokic. We never really got to see Mase at the 4 which is the only thing I regret. I'd love to see Mase find himself on a team with DJ type player at the 5 so that he can start at PF. I think Plumlee would have a lot of success in that situation. He can't shoot or finish as well as Blake Griffin, but he is close to or as athletic and is probably a better playmaker/passer than Griffin.

    Plumlee is such a conundrum. He's got the ball handling, passing, and all-around athleticism of a guard, but the shooting and man-defense of a non-rotation big. How can someone with such elite skills for the position be so fundamentally flawed at shooting, the one thing that's easiest to find competence at?

    If he ever develops that shooting ability, he'll be a marvelous PF.

    He doesn't move well enough laterally to play PF full time. He'll get killed on the perimeter against most teams. I do think he can play PF against certain teams however, even though he can't shoot. His passing spaces the court. You can't just leave him open.
