    Aminu is a forward, not a big.

    Isaac's play lately has changed my opinion on him.

    They have so many players with very high ceilings (Fultz, Bamba, Isaac, Gordon) that they could be a contender if all those guys reach their ceiling.

    They'll likely need to hit in this years draft though. Someone like Kevin Porter Jr. would be great for them (he's a very talented boom or bust pick that has all-star potential but has injury/character concerns).

    Fultz / Porter Jr / Isaac / Gordon / Vucevic w/ Bamba as the 6th man would have so much potential.

    I could also see them trying to add a star by trading Bamba (if they're able to keep Vucevic).

    I think the one he got was weak though. They were just talking shit and nothing looked malicious.

    Siakam has turned into such a good player.

    It isn't just injuries. There is also his contract and the probability that any team trading for him will have to give up substantial value. None of those concerns by themself is a deal breaker - but when you start to add them up...:smiley-unsure:

    While true, he should've never gotten that specific tech.

    Just went by the new Warriors Arena. That place is bad ass people. They are gonna have hands down the best venue in the league. The Plaza around it is just outstanding. Huge nightlife venues right on the water. Seriously there are Yacht's worth 10-20 million tied up on the water out front. I highly doubt the Lakers can match that kind of atmosphere. The Warriors (At least for now) are the new showtime.

    I think Embiid is going to have a short career. He’s clearly in pain and I’m not sure it will go away.

    Aldridge, with the putback jam, has 13 points in the 1st quarter.

    WOW. Webber, of all people, saying Jokic needs to shoot, not pass. In close games in 2002 WCF, he played hot potato with the ball and let Bibby take all the shots.
