    Kent is gonna be a volume 3 point shooter in this offense. Dude literally changed his IG profile to "3&D".

    6 minutes? When free agency clearly began well before the deadline....?

    I suspect they wanted a quick response, but the guy should have been prepared. There was time to get his head wrapped around things....

    To me, Blazers look the best in the West. The Lakers might change that but I look at the Blazers roster and I like it more than Denver's and I like it more than Houston's and Golden State's.

    Just for your amusement. The Ringer gave Orlando an "F" for signing Aminu. They also gave the Blazers a "D" for re-signing Hood.

    Even if that is the case, unfortunately, he shoots 2 pointers as well. His effective field goal percentage last season was 47 percent. That's the same as Evan Turner was last season. That's horrible for someone considered a shooter. It's horrible for anyone.
    And, 3 seasons ago, he also shot 47 percent (eFG%). Yuck.

    In the season in between (2017-2018), he shot an effective field goal percentage of only 50 percent, even though he shot .394 on three-pointers (which is excellent and counts as 59% shooting in eFG% ). The reason he only reached 50 percent was his stinky 2-point shooting at .438.

    So I am not expecting Bazemore to be an efficient scorer. Bazemore could be the next fan pinata if expectations are too high.

    What Knicks have done reminds me of how when you play NBA 2K, have a lot of space and decide to give out multiple offers to players playing in the same position but then forget to untick ‘Agreed’ next to the names of those who weren’t top of your wish list and end up getting all of them.

    Good. They are trying to replace some of Brogdon’s scoring.

    Wes Matthews for the minimum. The bargains are already rolling in.

    He could just you know, not be a shot creator like he was asked to be in Atlanta. Portland doesn't really need that from him.

    He’s a fairly good back up. Trouble is he probably won’t be back up.

    So many moves, but I'm having trouble figuring out which of these teams really got better, including us.

    Definitely more upside on the roster though.

    Embiid/Horford/Richardson/Simmons/?

    That is not bad for losing a Max FA in Butler.

    That's right.

    So Embiid/Horford/Harris/Richardson/Simmons.

    Damn, for losing a Max FA guy, that is legit.

    Ι don't think this starting lineup is good enough on offense to make a deep playoff run. They lack in shooting and penetration ability. Their D will be amazing though.
