    He’s always been inconsistent.
    He’ll probably score 20 within the next couple of games.

    it's possible, but i think kidd just isn't down with what he's bringing. if kidd hadn't just signed an extension, i wonder if he'd be more willing to just roll with dlo and let him work himself into games--i'm certain dlo's argument is that you can't pull me after 8 minutes if you've seen what i can do in terms of scoring barrages, etc.

    but kidd's in control there, and i wonder if he's not just making a point right now to dlo that he'll put him out of a job if he doesn't look like he's going all out at all times.

    and again--dlo is AD's guy, i think, so if kidd's worried about his job, he's also worried about that. but he's not worried about AD nor dlo, so here we are.

    The Cooper Flagg at PG seems to be a curious decision IMO. It will be interesting to see how this experiment works out, I thought Tinkerbell was going to be, in a pretty good situation in Dallas. It's a long season though.

    Jason Kidd did it with Giannis as well, it hurt the first season but improved his play making and handle a lot.

    If the Kings are really not so impressed by Keon, I’d love to do the Knecht + a 1st for him. Straight away it sures up our perimeter defense. With Ellis, Gabe, Smart, Vando and LaRavia, we have a lot of different looks to throw at people.

    Ellis (28) / Gabe (16) / Smart (4)
    Reaves (32) / Smart (16)
    Luka (32) / LaRavia (16)
    Lebron (28) / Rui (20)
    Ayton (30) / Vando (16) / Rui (2)

    I smell a class suit in this gambling scandal and Silver deserves it for allowing gambling integration in the NBA while Stern resisted it til the end

    If we pulled that off, I'm looking to move Gabe and Maxi for Vucevic.

    Just not a fan of Big Vuc at this point, too old and not the best defensive guy.
