We had an under 10 AAU tourney going on in my city last weekend. Maybe one of those 10 year olds can be an early entry in the 2025 draft.

Riiiiight . . . cause Lin has all of that big game experience that he can teach Trae about. LOL . . what is Lin going to teach Trae about defense or scoring? Let's keep it real about Jeremy. He had a "magical" 3 weeks of play that made him somewhat of a cult legend. Other than that, what has he done, besides be a journeyman PG?

From peachtreehoops.com After a trade kicker, Lin would count $13.8 million against the salary cap for the Hawks next season. As of the time of this post, the specific compensation arriving with the point guard is unknown. Hmmmm . . . so we're getting someone else?

So Lin was part of the Denver deal? This means that Lin may get waived.

Linsanity coming to ATL? Uh oh. Dennis . . . . .

If Josh Smith could've only had Omari Spellman's brain . . .

Landale: 0 pts - 0 rebs - 0 asst - 0 blks . . . . . . 3 stls . . . . ( -14 ) for the game.

Little Junior Robinson out there balling along with Spellman.

Not surprised that he's getting a DNP tonight. 6 games in 10 days is rough.

The big thing for me will be progression. When we bottomed out the team in 2004, we made a steady climb until we got that 8th seed. Having said that, if we're not there by Year 3, ownership will have some heads rolling anyway. So you would like to see us be at 30 - 35 wins this season, instead of dropping back to 20 wins. A fall back will mean that digging out of this hole will be much more difficult than people believe.

Dorsey = Summer League Kobe He played great tonight.

These video editors don't be playing around. Highlights already up.

So . . . do you shut Trae down tomorrow? This is about as high as his stock is going to get in Summer League, unless he gets Summer League MVP. The Lakers rested Lonzo Ball for the championship game, despite Lonzo really getting into a groove as the Summer League progressed.

Props to Dorsey on both ends of the floor. He balled on offense and played pretty good defense as well.

LOL . . cats are ridiculous.

Trae will get all of the headlines because he balled at the end and finished the Pacers off. Meanwhile, Dorsey is jealous like Larenz Tate in Ashanti's "Rain on Me" video.

If those last 4 assists by Trae didn't excite you or put a smile on your face . . . YOU'RE NOT A HAWKS FAN!!!

Clarksville boy balling though. Way to go Poythress.

And . . . we have the LEAD . . ( in my Ryan Cameron voice )

36 - 14 run in last 7 minutes? I had quit watching this. I missed it all, until 5 minutes ago.

Dorsey = Kobe Bryant

Lead down to 5. . . wtf?

In other news . . . . my Reds got a safety. It is now 17 - 2 . . in the 7th inning. It was 17 - 0 in the 5th.

Dirtiest player in the game's history . . . even though I hated Isiah.
