    One of my favorite players in this past draft, Stanley Johnson was a beast today. 26pts in 33 minutes. He and Bobby Portis were both guys I really wished we could have landed.

    Felton needed a good donut thrower?

    I see Aaron Afflalo is already sitting out practice with the Knicks with a hamstring problem...we might have dodged a bullet there

    Looking forward to seeing how Barton plays tomorrow. He's been getting good time recently, might have a future in Denver?

    Same with T-Rob. He looked decent the other day, hope he can find a spot in the rotation.

    I love that. Going for Aldridge to Meyers Legend has been an upgrade for us. No more tossing it into the post and standing around. That's the Spurs' problem now. I hope he enjoys playing center, lol!

    Robin Lopez got 7 pts and 3 rebounds with the Knicks last night and Afflalo wasn't even listed on the Knicks roster...did they waive him already?...I think Phil Pressy could pull down 3 rebounds in a game and he's 5'8 or something like that

    That's the latest (as of oct. 9th) ... look like they are just taking it slow.

    They actually expect AAA to start.
