Thompson won't be back until December. Even then he might not be the same player he was before his multiple injuries. He will be near the same shooter, but won't have the speed he used too.

They have some intriguing youth to balance out the veterans. They will be decent. Probably worthy of a 7th seed.

Any word on when Kawai is back for the CLips. Forgot he was out.

A number of people have assumed with the way he has responded to injury in the past that he will miss the season. Just because he does not usually try to come back until fully healthy.
I tend to agree with that assumption.

Yeah, that's pretty much my guess too. I think at a minimum he sits until maybe the last month of the season and then tries to be ready for the playoffs, but Kawhi has never been the sort to push too hard on recovery.

Yeah, Ballmer is hoping for mid-season but he won't be back till at least the playoffs probably if at all this season? It was only a partial tear so who knows. But, why rush him back only to injure it worse?

sounds like all three auditioning for just a training camp contract. Doesn't take much for players to slip to the fringe, does it?

JJ Redick announces retirement.

time flies....was in the same draft (2006) as Lamarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy; and Rajon Rondo; and Sergio Rodriguez & Joel Freeland; and Paul Millsap; and Kyle Lowry; and PJ Tucker

with Redick gone, that will leave only Aldridge, Rondo, Millsap, Lowry, and Tucker still playing

the only guys left from the draft before that (2005) are Chris Paul & Lou Williams (Utah let Illyasova walk and I don't think he's signed with anybody)

from the 2004 draft, there's Dwight Howard, Iggy, and Ariza

from the 2003 draft, there's Melo

I imagine I missed somebody still playing from those drafts

Um, there's a guy who plays on the Lakers from that year too...

ESPN at it again, ranking players 51-100:

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32239384/nbarank-2021-ranking-best-players-2021-22-100-51

notice that Norm Powell is ranked 100. Then, look at the players ahead of him (RoCo 89; Nurkic 74)

Looks like Nance didn't make it, he just sneaked into SI top 100 list.

Still pretty impressive the Blazers have 5 players in the top 100. I wonder how many teams have all of their starters on the list, I wouldn't think many.

Theoretically, you could have up to 20 teams.
Without going through the list, I'd guess there are 7-8 teams that have have 5-guys in the top 100.

That would mean 10 teams have 0 players..... How many teams don't have two top 100 players.... I wouldn't think more than a couple teams.
 
I searched through the list.

All the lottery teams except the Thunder and maybe the Magic have multiple players in the top 100.

So I think it will be very rare to have 5 starters in the top 100.
 
I don't think it means much of anything to have 5 players in the top-100. In the NBA what matters is if you have 2-3 players in the top-20 or so
 
Alright! Who's gonna be the NERD and figure out how many other teams have all five starters in the top 100 and which teams they are?

Then of course someone has to find this out for the Lakers at the very least?

So nice. Always loved B-Roy, such a class act. I think he is the only NBA player I had any real interaction with (and even that was not long, maybe 45 minutes talking to him with my wife and big kid) - and he was a class act at that point as well. Thanks for posting this. I have to admit that I did not pay any attention to Porter Jr. as a person before - and he seems like a pretty intelligent young fellow as well.
