Why did we drop Amile Jefferson. Thought he looked pretty good when here.

Any interest in Marquess Chris, Dragan Bender or Tre Burke?

I would think with Vonleh, Bell, Layman and Reid all here, they aren't adding anyone else with size. KAT/Gorgui obviously will get minutes and then those guys are fighting over the rest and Layman maybe getting some minutes at the 3 too.

Bender and Chriss have shown some flashes but not enough to make me think they're anything better than the guys above.

What's Portland? I think Portland ends up getting Love at some point. They could be tough if it's the two guards, Love, Nurkic. Knowing them they'll somehow scoop up a SF too or one of the young guys they don't send for Love emerges (Gary Trent, Simons, Little, Hood).

Christian Wood just got released. He might be worth a flyer.

Meh.

It's either going to be Lakers or Clippers. Very outside chance of Houston.

No one else in the West.

Nuggets should at least be in the WCF this year. Best depth in the entire league.

Getting Grant was huge. Wasting a pick on Porter Jr last year was also huge. I feel like they should have moved Barton or Harris though.

Not bad. I like that futures bet. But let it be known if we had a sports-book I would be broke. I keep losing my Bovada balance and the laziness of adding more funds keeps me from needing welfare.

Houston is going to be tough, but whatever team meshes the best in a wide open field will win it.

I don't know why but Dwight just did an interview and talked about how he liked that Kobe called him soft and now he understands it. That's a really bizarre thing to bring up.

:lol: Yes, he's an American now playing in Europe. All I am saying is I am surprised he's the highest paid American now over there.

Basketball. There's probably higher paid Americans in Europe doing other things.

Shabazz Muhammad has signed with Shaan Xi Wolves of the Chinese NBL.
The Bucks waived Muhammad last October and he signed on with the Shanxi Brave Dragons in China. He averaged 29.7 points and 11.2 rebounds in China last season.

to me, his success over there doesn't mean a lot. i suppose we can wonder "what if he'd only stayed?" - but an equally appropriate comp trajectory in the nba could just as well be steve francis.

Weak draft, but he seems like a good playmaker for a wing, some poor man's Paul George potential.
He was compared to Caris Levert in a video I just watched.
I just didn't see it in Culver. I haven't seen anything since, either. I hope he proves to be the next Paul George type of player for us. Seems like a smart kid, with great drive.
