He was Vogel's Center when AD, Drummond, and other misc. bigs were on the shelf. Horton-Tucker is ~6'5" and built like a truck, so he was guarding the biggest guys. It didn't work in the NBA world, but Lakers fans live in an alternate reality that allows them to brag about every player.

“Laker fans” like The Uber Driver is a “Blazer fan” here?

Could you just imagine if there is a forum somewhere and they were posting, hey these “Blazer fans” are saying this and said they heard that. Whoa….
 
more Zach LaVine rumors got floated today. Lakers podcasters will take him if Chicago adds draft picks to Zach's 140m/3yr contract.

I googled Uber Driver & Horton Tucker. Here's the headline:

"Once an uber-promising prospect, the Lakers cutting bait with Talen Horton-Tucker this offseason shows how badly they mismanaged the entire situation"

They fucked it up.

Should have been: "Once an uber-promising prospect, the Lakers cutting bait with Talen Horton-Tucker this offseason, hoping for a lyft."
 
Jamal Murray got his gen Z contract
~ 4yr/208m
 
Spurs fans want to trade Paul & Barnes to the Clippers to get Kawhi Leonard back.

No, there were actually a lot of Laker fans who treated him like he was going to be a star.

And yes, I know *every* fan base does that.

Luis Montero ring a bell?
 
Murray got (over)paid. i get it though. their hands were tied
 
more T-Wolves ducking tax rumors today. Someone churned out KAT to the Pistons for unknown return.
 
the casinos pegged Memphis to win 19 more games then they did last year.

Grizzlies Over/under 47 wins ??

.... they must really like the Edey factor
 
one Grizzlies writer wants to do recovering from injury swap with the Blazers.

Brandon Clarke
for Timelord +2 second rounders

Clarke is an advanced stats stud. It seems like he'd be an upgrade over Grant at PF if he were healthy, but he has no outside game.

But he’s coming back from a torn achilles, right? I’d be worried about how that impacts his athleticism (he was a really bouncy player).
 
Couldn’t find the OFFICIAL Pendleton Round Up thread.
@THE HCP is heading there to work right now. I’m flying. When I told the company I’m working for I don’t drive long distances for work anymore, and I’d work it if they flew me out, I just assumed Alaska flew there…. Nope.
I’m flying in Boutique Air whatever the hell that is. Looked them up, small 6 seater planes. Single propeller. We’ll see how this goes. Smallest plane I’ve ever been on.
Waiting in this little hanger/office by PDX. Checking out the other 5 passengers. Trying to figure their story out so I can get the jump on em if we end up trying to survive up in the woods on Mt. Hood….. like LOST! Crazy thing is, I have to stay in Hermiston while working there for a couple days. Exciting couple days coming up. MODS, feel free to merge with the Round Up or Melo thread!

Should've had them get you an Uber. I mean @KingSpeed may not be in town to take the job, but I'd have driven you out there, for acceptable compensation.

It would be a concern for sure. But then again so is Timelord's injury. I have always loved his game so I would probably gamble on that trade.

A few things

1. I believe “little hanger “ was Sly’s nickname in high school.

2. I need a pic of the weight distribution in that tiny plane

3. Have a hell of a good trip
