    I try to keep Realdeal on his toes. Can't have him getting complacent with Lebron/Houston diatribes.

    You’ve brought shame upon your household, Zu. Okafor out there rocking the Costanza, hasn’t played since 2013

    10 thousand year old Emeka Okafor showing our young kids defense in 2018.

    Who the hell would have thought?

    He is a type of player that isn't exactly in high demand in todays basketball. Can't shoot 3s, can't defend P&R and can't grab rebounds and is slow.

    Basically he is everything that isn't valuable today in the NBA. He has a great post game, can block shots, can make his FTs and has a solid IQ. But thats about it. His ceiling is limited IMO even though he is a great kid and a hard worker.

    As much as it hurts to say it, but I agree. I'm picking T-Bryant over him right now to the main roster.

    eh, bryant hasn't been able to find his way onto the court. i'm choosing neither at this point. i mean, it's fine to keep them around on minimum contracts if there's no one else to fill those roster spots, but i also wouldn't worry too much if we just had to shed either or both.

    20 minutes, 19 points, 11 rebounds, 1 TO. 8 for 8 from the floor, though most were easy dunks. One baby hook and short face up J that bounced in. Still moving well.

    Ya Lopez is trash. He has a few games when his 3 is on and he is great in those. But if not, he is pretty useless out there, especially he can't grab a board if the life of his entire family depended on it.

    He works well with a penetrating guard because it opens things for him to dive to the basket.

    I’d like to see us keep him and that ability on a second unit to utilize his length. I don’t know that Lonzo is or ever will be the same type type of attacking of the dribble player IT is (was)

    Nice effort, time to give zu/bryant some burn. Lopez isnt the answer, neither are zu/bryant gor now but we should take a look atn them now so we can better gauge if we need brick lopez back
