    TT is short

    If they go big, it would be great to have TT at PF, and LB at SF. I think it would be an equalizer against a team like GS that struggles against power lineups.

    He's 6'9 but with crazy wingspan. Tyson worked in NO, Dallas and NY because he had a PF who could shoot (West, Dirk, Amare, Melo.) Lining up Lames, Tyson, TT, JR and Kyrie clogs up the lane, unless you want James shooting jumpers, which help GS.

    He costs 13 Million anyway, there's no way they could swing a trade for him. And James would be pissed if they just got another big.

    Bucks looked to be making a post ASG push for the playoffs after getting Middleton back by then Jabari went down with a pretty bad looking knee injury. Unfortunate especially since he finally looked healthy from a previous season ending ACL injury. Ouch.

    Sounds like they could use a scoring guard for the playoff push... Hm...

    Sucks. He was finally outperforming Wiggins in my eyes.

    It suggests some physical imbalance in his body that creates extra tension on his joint. It was something he was likely born with. For instance many people are born with one leg longer than the other which creates tension in certain ligaments and muscles. Personally I have flat feet with collapsed arches which means I'm especially prone to foot problems (I have a completely torn ligament in my ankle).

    I don't think Parker will ever be the same. That doesn't mean he can't be pretty good, but if he's going to have any sort of NBA career he'll have to change the way he plays. He could still be an older Grant Hill type 3&D player or some other high level role player, but I don't think he'll ever be the star he should have been.

    Embiid out with a minor meniscus tear on his left knee, no surgery required.

    Yet he was found dancing on stage at a Meek Mill concert...

    I still think Okafor has talent... Philadelphia and it's luxury of big men just isn't the right place for him to mature and develop.

    Any idea on where? To the Pelicans has been the biggest rumor. Not sure if he's the greatest fit next to AD but I mean they've tried to pair him with defensive centers to no avail.
