Dinwiddie has played some of his very best basketball for Dallas. Pleased for him he's back there.

Yes, but nearly all the courts are awful. It treats these games like a circus and imo is at odds with the idea these games are important.

Sixers should be very happy with those two games, both winnable

There's no way to pivot off the PG contract. It's an albatross, he's turning 35 and only had 1 good playoff run in 5 seasons with Clippers. Try and come up with a fake trade for PG. There isn't one that complies and isn't quickly rejected by other team(s).

Doubling down on injury prone players was about the stupidest move possible. That's not hindsight, I posted that in the other place at the time. But worse, 4 yr 35% max fully guaranteed with a 15% trade kicker was exactly the move of a brain dead "star" hunter, nuts.

Time to think about that top 6 pick? I'm leaning that way.

And somehow people think Embiid is as good as Olajuwon, nuts.

Can't help but wonder if defense is better because no Klay and no Luka.

Love Marshall. He's an excellent pick-up. Says something about the Pelicans that they thought they didn't need him, when obviously they did. Naji is even better in Texas!

Looks like Karl Towns was important on the court and in the locker room. Gee, who would have guessed - well everybody except the people who traded him away

One aspect of Celtics volume threes is that many players are taking threes. I think that will lead to less variance in team 3P%

If only Morey hadn't wasted $49m on an old injury prone guy with a sub optimal playoff resume

It's looking like Karl Towns was a really important player for them and one they should have kept.

How a commentator classifies a player isn't going to affect a career. Giddey already defends forwards when on defense, did that for 3 years at OKC.

But the role of a player in offense can be different to the role of that player in defense. Luka, LeBron are classic examples of elite players who have different roles or positions. Giddey initiates offense and pushes the pace but doesn't defend opposing point guards.

Why are labels and pigeon holes important? Seems like trying to classify someone for the sake of classification.
