Basketball reference needs to add a new stat for Holland. Dumb things done per game.

Jake Butt is really pushing Pogi.

50 three point attempts incoming.

He benefits from the era he plays in for sure. But everyone under 24 right now is playing in the same era and not doing what he's doing.

Whoa.

Not much. Kuzma, Portis, and draft picks for Lavine? Those players are not attractive. But future Milwaukee picks could be if Giannis leaves.

That has Zack Lavine written all over it.

Last summer they said this will be the final season the cup semifinals would be in Vegas. They will play at one of the teams home courts starting next year Now ESPN is reporting they are considering moving the finals out of Vegas as well.

My god Pistons’ focus is development, not big moves, at NBA trade deadline

FG%/3P% 1 - 43.2/33.3 2 - 40/24.4 3 - 43.1/26.7 4 - 52.2/39.9 OT - 25/no attempts

Most people that signed as free agents this summer are now eligible to be traded. Guys that signed later in the summer still are not. Guys like Grimes, Giddey, and Kuminga will be eligible January 15th I believe. PJ Washington signed his extension after the season started. So he is not eligible to be traded until March sometime. It's after the trade deadline so he basically can not be traded this season. Trade deadline is February 5th.

Zed's dead.

Even those two years are below league average.

I know it was his first game back. But still interesting to see Zion coming off of the bench and Queen starting. I'm sure that will change soon. Or Zion will get hurt again.

Not sure how true that is. Even if it is, you don't go $22 million into the 2nd apron to be the third-best team in the east.

The Cavs are an interesting team. They are $22 million over the 2nd apron. Next year, they are already $17 million over the 2nd apron with only 11 players signed. So this was pretty much their last year to make a run, considerable changes were coming this summer no matter what. Now you wonder if they maybe start breaking it up at the trade deadline if they are around .500 to save some money. Either way, I would guess Garland and Allen are gone this summer. Bad news is, they have no picks until 2030. Every pick is either traded or swapped. So they don't have a way to add cheap talent.

lol

The Cavs just scored 0 points in OT. They did not win.

The Cavs are having a year.

He will just hurt something else after you do that. Might as well play him now and get the 38 games out of him that you will get this year and move on.
