Jusuf Nurkic is just not as bad as people like to claim nowadays lmfao // Blazers utterly refusing to start either of their two high capital guards remains confusing, Chauncey Billups is bad at his job

Wizards are a joke for not starting bub // Mavs have been sentenced to hell (playing Moses brown) for trading Luka

A couple of players I think need to look good down the stretch to give their teams more confidence entering the playoffs would be Edey and Jrue Holiday. Not saying either have been particularly bad, but they’re key factors for their teams and getting hot in the playoffs would make a world of diff

I think a lot of folks have forgotten how good Immanuel quickley is… also why the hell is Dennis schroder on the Pistons

Thought the grizz had a pretty atrocious deadline but trimming some depth means you get more opportunities to see what you really have with Vince and GG I guess // Clippers move to 7 games above .500 and Kawhi isn’t even playing like Kawhi just yet, I wouldn’t want to play this team round 1

If Justin Edwards can shoot like he did against the Mavs his ceiling is a lot higher than I gave him credit for // why didn’t the nets move DFS for a 1st when they could man, such an absolute flop of a front office has left a team with no talent

Mikal Bridges is so much more effective with OG out of the lineup, seems he always steps up in a big way // I advocated for Podz to start pre trade, I understand keeping him on the bench with where this team wants to go and his lack of consistency however, post trade this team looks a lot different

The lack of talent on the Nets hurts when you take a step back and look at the roster // we have GOT to get Scoot Henderson a good coach ASAP

Gary Trent has been playing really well recently, nice to see the bucks hold onto him for now // while I think the suns would benefit from an upgrade, Beal being an essential part makes it incredibly difficult // Interested to see what TJD’s role is in golden state after their moves

Sources tell me De’Aaron Fox trade has been agreed to in principal, will be announced official soon.

Nick Richards has been surprisingly great so far with the Suns, this plus the Lakers void at center makes me think they’ll pull a classic LAL move and trick themselves into picking up someone like Boucher who frankly isn’t very good, especially on the defensive end where they struggle as is

I think he’s got some upside but some of my concerns for Justin Edwards while he was at UK are showing in the pros, doesn’t help that he’s playing for a mess of a team // Steve Kerr has overlytinkered with lineups again all year, even with his struggles I’d like Podz starting again with curry

This Magic team struggles so much to score the ball, someone like WCJ has to become more of a weapon // I still have Jaylen Wells as the ROTY leader, remains impactful even when his shots aren’t falling // let’s be serious for a sec, Josh Hart did not deserve to be an All-Star, he’s great, but cmon

I don’t expect an active deadline from the Pacers, but i hope I’m wrong, trade someone like Nesmith if the deal makes sense. Aaron Gordon is so impactful for the Nuggets, just a perfect fit behind Jokic. The bad games from Mikal Bridges are so rough lmao, seems like he and OG can’t both have biggame

Rewatching the recent Pels-Grizz ROTY bowl, felt like Missi struggled against the Grizz frontcourt more than I’ve seen him do in most matchups. Thought Jaylen Wells was really productive in his role, certainly a better player than the 2nd round grade I had on him

I was always lower on Anthony Black as a prospect (preferred Cason straight up) but he has flashed the upside the Magic clearly hoped for when they spent that pick // Still hammering home that I’m not positive Christian Braun plays this big of a role when the shortened playoff rotation arrives

I think at this point if I was ranking every player in the league Spida would be in my top 10 // Jalen Green has been on a tear lately, but the bad games remain really poor // I’m skeptical as to how competitive the Kings would be in a playoff series, DeRozan centric teams have historically strugled

I like WCJ as a player but he remains inconsistent, too many lackluster performances when a banged up Magic team could use him // Christian Braun has been on a heater but I can’t imagine he plays a SIGNIFICANT role for this team in a 7 game series if the games remain close

Butler trade or not I think the Suns need to hold onto Grayson Allen’s shooting off the bench, that unit needs him // The Cavs are phenomenal but still haven’t had EVERYONE clicking on the same night, one Strus blowup wins them a tough playoff game, this team is definitely a contender

Nick Richards is so much better than Mason Plumlee, but I still think Nurkic is this teams best center for the playoffs // I have not seen the leap I’ve wanted from Bennedict Mathurin this year, I remain lower than most Pacers fans on his long term outlook

Part of the reason I was so down on this year’s rookie class was the lack of reasonable projection I saw for high upside career outcomes for guys like Castle and Edey, I valued Castle mid-lottery and Edey as a later 1st round guy, not much has changed for me on those evaluations

I expected Strus to come into form a lot sooner off the injury, he’s a guy that could win the Cavs a playoff game if everyone else’s shots aren’t falling // Scoot continues to grow everyday, I lowered my projection for his ceiling but he could still be a great PG in this league

Before the season when I thought guys like Collins/Kessler would be traded I placed a long shot bet on a Filipowksi ROTY, I think he has the ability to put up numbers if given a large role // Kawhi with the rust shaken off is absolutely still a problem for this league, Clippers are kinda scary

Everyone looks good on this Thunder team, presti could easily flip someone like Wiggins and that arsenal of picks for an insane haul but it makes sense to keep this awesome team in tact too. I’m regularly impressed with Naji Marshall when I tune into the Mavs, never thought he would have this impact
