I'll be honest this offense on steroids era is frankly boring to me. There's no defense. it used to be scoring 100 in a game was like wow that's a good game and now if you score 100-110 it is a defensive struggle. Struggle as in most likely teams just missed a ton of three point shots.

The NBA needs to address this. There's already been more 40+ games in less than half the season this year than four seasons COMBINED just a few years ago. Is it really that fun to basically eat ice cream with brownies in it all day, every meal?

Basketball ain’t for everyone Adam.

I’ll take Pascal or OG. Scottie not available.

 

Toronto the first domino in trade market?

As one league source who has been monitoring the Raptors situation closely in recent weeks put it to me: “Toronto are the first domino. What they do will affect teams all across the league: Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Atlanta – not that it’s about deals with any particular team, just that people are going to be waiting to see what the Raptors do before they make their moves. Toronto could set the market.”

Pascal doesn't fit with Murray and Capela though.  He doesn't space the floor at all and needs the ball too much.  I don't like the fit

[JayBirdHawk]

All these 3s: Boston and Houston combined for 101 3 point attempts???? WOW!!!

Boucher makes $12 mil...so that leaves

 

JHol ($6.2 mil) and Frank K ($2.4 mil) - $8.6 mil to trade.

The defense is better than ever though. It's the rules that give too much advantage to the offensive players

Haha, @Spud2nique would love us to get Precious.  I'm looking more at Koloko as a developmental guy.  I'm wondering if Boucher is one of those that morphs into Giannis Abdul Jabbar when he plays us.

Yep. He makes a lot of sense next to KAT tho but not next to OO as our PnR offense will drop off badly and we all know him and Capela is a spacing issue and for his price tag, not worth it.

Haha, I had specific reasons to not want Precious.  I read he wanted to be like kawhi.  Good for him that he seemingly backed away from that 'cause that ain't his game.
