Morant looked unstoppable last preseason too. 

He is a stud.

That jersey retiring ceremony for Tony Allen gonna be real awkward when the first two minutes of the zoom call go ... "you have a collect call from *bzz* Tony Alle-*bzz* .... do you wish to accept the charge?"

Too soon ... or not soon enough?

Dang. And until maybe two weeks prior to that draft, I was on the Sekou train--drunk on the fact he was the youngest of the high-regard international prospects, and persuaded by his pro Euro highlights that, if nothing else, he would be a defensive beast.

Have read since then, if the Pistons fans who advocated this are to be believed, that his transition to US culture might have been more of an internal struggle than anyone would have anticipated.

Whoa, so Sekou got a Doum-buyout?

On a serious note, hate to hear the kid may have had a rocky transition.  We as fans get spoiled by how most of these guys are able to overcome the 'life' stuff around getting drafted internationally.

See I can 'serious' too.

Man.  I'm not liking this. I'm really starting to get concerned about Dre's knee.  This is probably why they made the other signing for a forward.  Albeit, he will probably not make the team.

Does this mean no more Stinger?

Treavor Scales is my guy. Me and the homie went out for the same position when I just started my 2nd degree in college and he was a rising Soph out of college. We chatted for about 30 mins that day. I had a terrible interview too.

You never said what the position was?  I'm thinking ... hand model?

I'm going to miss Stinger.  He is all class. 

Brian Oliver?   Is kg in charge of hiring?

Those files hit different. Money always gets the best of these players.

Simmons returning to the sixers is the best thing possible for the Hawks.

If I'm honest, I wanted to go with this one but figured someone might get offended ..

I mean c'mon, it's a Rock v Rock gif showdown.  Look past the fancy language.

The ever so media friendly, PHI coach was asked for his thoughts:

"I welcome Ben with open arms and I stand by my original comments about whether a team can win a title with him.  It's not like we're gonna win a title anyways, amirite?  What?  JoeLLLL why you not laughing, bro?" - GLLLLenn Rivers
