I don't think AAU is actually "bad" til 8th grade or so. But faze is right, any 5 v 5 organized ball is worth the experience.
Not really surprised. He was really bad last year and basically unplayable near the end of the year. I don’t know if I would expect him to get a lot better but really I wouldn’t trade him to move up any more in this draft unless you are going wild and going for 3 or getting an additional pick
Blogger Henry Abbott (that claimed Lillard was imminently gonna ask for a trade) keeps doubling down on the "Damian wants out of Portland" by writing a WWE-worthy heel story where Damian told other NBA players he would "pull a James Harden" and "give up paychecks by sitting out to "get his way"
Meanwhile...

By reilo Go To PostFirst Chris Paul and now Jaxson Hayes.I'm sorry you don't appreciate true competitors.
We need to have a dialog around Kibner's favorite players.
By DiPro Go To PostShaq might be terrible but he's way better than Perkins.Sad but true
By Kibner Go To PostI'm sorry you don't appreciate true competitors.Don't you also like Demarcus Cousins?
By reilo Go To PostDon't you also like Demarcus Cousins?I used to. :(
Kyrie gotta check the fine print, there's gotta be a clause about bad-mouthing the merchandise.
Is this the first we've heard that Klutch is all in on Ben getting moved? Of course, they might also be the ones pushing for these ridiculous offers to keep his Q value up.
ESPN Sources: Sixers continue to canvass the league for Ben Simmons trades — armed with a steep asking price. Simmons and his agent, Klutch CEO Rich Paul, are in step with a move elsewhere. Draft night is always an ideal vehicle for a deal, but talks could continue into summer.
Is this the first we've heard that Klutch is all in on Ben getting moved? Of course, they might also be the ones pushing for these ridiculous offers to keep his Q value up.
Oh, Simmons is Klutch? No wonder. Getting a good haul back for Ben is just as important to his agent for PR reasons as it is for Morey's greedy ass.

Fake news. Mitch is actually wondering how to tell Mike he is ready to give up the 4 1sts and 3 swaps for Ben.
Wouldn't Turner take the starting job from PJ? Hasn't the city of Charlotte done enough to that poor boy?

I’m Rockets on 2k21. Hornets offer me Terry and Washington for Wood and House. I counter offered with Terry and Zeller. They wanted draft picks on top. So I also asked for Biyombo and removed the draft picks. They accepted lol

By Doomsayer Go To PostRumors of a Kuz + 22 for Ingles + 30 trade…why would Utah do this? 😂
I'm ok with this.
By Doomsayer Go To PostRumors of a Kuz + 22 for Ingles + 30 trade…That or the Hield trade is ok with me. Kuz is a clearly a promising young player being held back by lack of minutes and shot attempts.
I'm ok with this.
By blackace Go To Postwhy would Utah do this? 😂They are trying to avoid the luxury tax, if I'm to believe what their Twitter peeps are saying.
By Nelo Ice Go To PostThat or the Hield trade is ok with me. Kuz is a clearly a promising young player being held back by lack of minutes and shot attempts.Kuz isn't going to improve much on a team that isn't going to feature him. Dude is going to need to humble himself quickly. He talks a big game and never backs it up when given the opportunities.
By diehard Go To PostIngles is a good secondary ball handler and a great shooter. Kuzma has all the downsides but none of the upsides except he's younger?Kuz can defend and rebound. Plus he's going back home, that should be worth something?
By blackace Go To PostI mean Kuz is basically a worse version of Ingles 🤔Ingles is a good secondary ball handler and a great shooter. Kuzma has all the downsides but none of the upsides except he's younger?
