Is it just me or is Casey annoyingly vague in his tweets? I have no idea what exactly these shoes are about.

I'm not sure what it is about Casey, but he's really annoying now. Like, I hope it's an act he does to get attention, because if that is how he is all the time, I'd literally hate to have to work near him.
 
Zion Williamson - top is now, bottom is 2019. Yikes. I guess the food really is good in New Orleans.

Hey, maybe a Zion-Ben Simmons swap would be good for both teams? Zion is heading down a bad path where he is, and the team around him is hopeless. Then the Sixers could hold on to Zion until he proves he can play again and flip him for Harden or whomever.
 
trying to figure out how likely a Kyrie trade is, outside of to a few teams who want to deal with his drama.



Spurs would be good for him, but Pop would get hypertension after dealing with him. Maybe the Clippers?

Shouldn't it be a state with no vaccine mandates? HELLO Florida or Texas!

Orlando and Houston are probably out of the picture due to rebuilds where Kyrie might threaten to retire. Miami is probably out after they went all in on Lowry. That leaves the Spurs where I don't think he would mesh well with Pop.

Then there's Dallas who I think would be a terrific basketball fit. Cuban came out and said all his employees have to be vaccinated, but a Kyrie for KP swap might actually entice him to ease up on his stance. And Kyrie's trade value might be suppressed enough for Brooklyn to just welcome Porzingis regardless of the talent disparity.

Yeah, Cuban's a pretty stubborn guy. How about:

(Pretty sure the Nets like Harris too much for this to happen, but then again, he did disappear totally against the Bucks.)
 
Chris Duarte is solid man.

Knew he was a good athlete, but he is standing out in that regard.

Really versatile offensive guy who should be a positive defensively if not this year, in the next couple.

Anthony Parker vibes.

I absolutely love that Nash and the team have said fuck it. Just announced today they aren't making him an offer at the end of this contract either. Good for them.

Yes it's good but also easy to do when they can do this and still be a title favorite
 
Interesting thing I noticed.....when players from both teams arrived/left to our preseason games here in Portland....BOTH teams players and staff ALL had masks on at all times. In Phoenix yesterday, Just the Blazers did. Not ONE Suns player or coach was wearing a mask arriving and walking through the halls.

How does it feel traveling again?

I'd say it's a stretch to call CJ and Donovan Mitchell PG's. They play pretty much like SG's

I see that Haliburton is listed as 6'5 so he's definitely the size of a SG. I haven't seen enough of him to know how good, or bad he is on defense
 
Did you guys know Kings are going for a record 16 straight seasons without playoffs? I’m so glad nothing close to that has ever happened here. Misery. Kids grow up, graduate high school and never see their favorite team in the playoffs. When ever you feel bad about the Blazers, think of the Kings.

I look upward and expect my favorite team to excel. So other teams dwindling in obscurity doesn't make me feel better. I look at the Spurs and wonder why we can't have what they just had... the best dynasty a small market can hope for.
