    You have an inside source at Ralph Lauren, I assume?

    not from what I saw

    last season, he was tied for 18th on the team in defensive rating with a rating 2.1 points worse than the team. And was 14th on the team in DBPM with a -1.6 points/100-possessions mark

    the year before he was 10th on the team in def rating, with again, a mark that was 2 points worse then the team. and, 7th on the team in DBPM with a -0.7 mark

    and he's 11th on the Clippers in def rating while 12th in DBPM

    this all matches what I saw. He's simply not a good defender. Not quite as bad as Simons; probably at the same level as Dame or CJ. He's a good scorer who attacks the basket well while shooting the three-ball at a high level. Very capable in those two areas. A 6th man type who can fill in as SG at times; for 18M/year. He's one of the reason the Clippers have a tax bill scheduled of 145M; that will be added to their league leading payroll of 201M. That's 346M. Blazers have a payroll that's actually less than the Clippers tax bill....yikes!

    all this nostalgia around here for Powell (and CJ for that matter) is kind of crazy. Hart was a better starting SF than Powell

    Larry Bird did it

    LeBron, MJ, Giannis won multiple MVPs before reaching the Finals, I believe.

    Well duh. I don’t think anyone in their right mind thought he should’ve ever play SF. He was a SG through and through

    Are there any other LA teams the Jazz can help out with?

    After dropping 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks in an MVP winning performance in the Celebrity game, DK Metcalf was subjected to a drug test by the NFL
