My guess is actually Williams. They already have Ayton there. Not that that's not a powerful 1-2 punch at the 5, but I think there could be more suitors in that direction. 

Interesting position for Boston now with no real answer for Center beyond Porzingis and a 37 year old Al Horford. I can only imagine they are trying to make one more move in that direction. 

Yeah, Boston still feels like they're in their perpetual spot of being one player short. Turning a disgruntled Brogdon into anything is good for them though.

Now for him to be disgruntled elsewhere and get traded another time.

Looks like TNT Sports have taken over the UK broadcasting rights from Sky, going forwards.

Jazz season starts tonight against the Kings. The arena has been renamed to the Delta Center and our games are being broadcast on a local channel, KJZZ. I feel like I'm back in the 90s.

Going to be a fun season. Hoping for a playoff spot, but not going to get my hopes too high.

“NBA Expert” Bill Simmons:  taking Wemby’s over on blocks will be the easiest bet in the NBA for 10 games until Vegas adjusts

Wemby’s over/under blocks at gametime:  2.5 blocks

Wemby:  gets 2 blocks within 5 minutes, none for the rest of the game

Thanks Bill

Just one of Wemby's arms is taller than me. He needs more blocks.

I have to say I'm pretty encouraged after the Pistons first two games. The group of Duren, Stewart, Thompson, Hayes, and Cunningham could be a nice little defensive unit. 

Thompson has been impressive so far, not scoring a ton but getting rebounds, playing good defense, and being a good facilitator on offense has me optimistic. 

Hell, Monte even seems to have Marvin Bagley giving some effort on defense. If that dude can even be competent on defense he'll be a real nice bench piece.

James Harden has finally been traded to the Clippers.

Sixers get picks and expirings in return. We shall see what they do with the cap space next summer.

PJ Tucker was also sent to the Clippers in the trade.

When you have the chance to get a guy who scores 1 point a game you gotta do it.

As many games as PG and Kawhi will miss, Tucker should get at least 5 points a game.

The In-Season Tournament no one cares about begins tonight!

[GhostMachine]

B-but the courts are going to have special floors!!

[Pooker]

I'm excited for the tournament. I think it'll be fun.

The courts on the other hand can go.

So, one game suspension for Draymond Green choking Gobert? Two games? Guy looked completely unfazed that he had his arm around another man's throat, dragging him backwards...so maybe a fine?

[LL!]

 

Discuss. 

[Pooker]

Draymond Green suspended five games for choking Rudy Gobert. Has ego destroyed by Rudy after the game, which I think is a way worse punishment.

NBA legend Metta World Peace was the latest unmasking on The Masked Singer.

Why mention it? Because his character was Cuddly Monster, and one of the guesses was Draymond Green. The timing of it, and the idea of Green being anything `cuddly' were just funny. 

(No one got it right, by the way. The other guesses were Shaq and Dennis Rodman.)

My wife is going to be so impressed when we watch that episode and I get it right. Also, that's hilarious that any of them thought it was Draymond.
