    If Nurk was back and healthy you wouldn't trade Whiteside for Porter?

    Probably not... Never been impressed. Maybe because of need as they wouldn't need two starting centers. Ive never gotten the OPJr hype, he’s like an advance analytics dream, but his team mates have always complained he’s not aggressive enough.

    A long and athletic wing who is a decent defender and shoots over 40% from 3 for his career.

    I can see how that doesn't sound appealing.

    Kobe Bryant's Birthday was yesterday and we forgot to wish him a happy Birthday.

    He has over four 3 point attempts per game the last 4 seasons.

    Hasn't stopped his teammates from complaining he’s not shooting.

    Yeah, because the Wizards totally know what they're doing.

    I guess at the end of the day, “I get it”, like I said he’s an advanced stats dream guy. I said that. I just dont think he’s much of a winner. I would be neither excited or sad if he came here. I guess the good thing about a whiteside trade is they got something for whiteside’s expiring contract.

    If I recall correctly you weren't a fan of Beal either right? You don't buy into the fact that their organization is a joke? He only played 15 games with the Bulls so it's hard to take anything from it but his PPG jumped to 17.5 and his shots per game were 13.4. He shot 48.8% from 3 on 5.3 attempts per game and 48.3% from the field. Those aren't numbers from someone who is scared to shoot.

    Well the Bulls have basically been a joke before and after Jordan. The Wizards are a joke sure. Those are the two organizations that traded for him and or paid him though. So if its Joke organizations interested in him...?

    I think Beal is ok. I just dont respect the eastern conference much. Every year they produce like 2 really good teams.

    Hezonja is working out at Kobe's gym. I hope training camp comes with a disinfectant session before workouts.

    Well you have to admit Kobe had one of the best work ethics known to anyone in the NBA. It’s not a bad thing to work out like Bryant did.

    It kills me that is is a 5-minute walk from my workplace and I can't get free to get there. Kobe has his flaws as an individual, but I agree that work ethic was not one of them.
