    Bradley shot 22% from three for the preseason and didn't play much D = pretty much useless.

    Honestly I don't think his heart and desire to play pro ball has been evident since he opted out. He gave up.

    We have to sign him to be our 15th man one season before Bron retires, otherwise it's one of the biggest missed marketing opportunities in the league. And he only gets to play on Tuesdays and only in Bron lineups.

    Shirts. Giveaways. Commercials. And then this on the jumbo tron

    Looks like a lot of contenders are keeping an open space for buyouts.

    Ԑm :) CHAMPS (@Taebucks34) Tweeted: Giannis has made more threes in his career than Anthony Davis. Do what you want with this information. https://t.co/QCrojZn7Ut

    It's concerning to me sometimes when AD is shooting bricks from anywhere at times with his J. "What would Kobe do?" The ball's not heavy and you can't get hurt shooting more of them in practice on your own time to get your s*** together to be more consistent.

    i guess, but...have they heard of waiving and/or trading guys should situations arise?

    giannis is 376/1308, AD is 279/894.

    so, i guess the point is that giannis, despite being less accurate, puts up a lot more threes than davis. as far as what to do with that information? i maybe wouldn't brag about it.

    Our G league roster is a blank right now per a 5 minute search I did a couple hours ago except for Sekou with the 2 way.

    Claimed for their roster, 2 way or G league I wonder? Kind of figured he would be on South Bay still unless we just really soured on him.

    A lot of media/fans seem to like the renewal amount, thinking they got him for below market value. He is a good third star level player, that they have as their fourth. If they can get a discount on Ayton, then they’ve done about as well as they could for a smaller market team.

    i didn't love the amount and am at all not sure about 3rd star designation. i view him as a lot closer to caruso than to say, jrue holiday.

    phx is basically going all in on the current core, which i think was a bit flukey last year, tbh, and relies way too heavily on paul at his age.

    i can't imagine being the team that would have used 20-25 million in cap space to chase bridges, put it that way.

    reminds me of when bazemore got 5/85 or whatever.

    I don't think he is anywhere near a 3rd star level. I think he's overpaid but understand why they did it
