    At this rate, Lonzo Ball is going to be the MVP!

    LeBron getting injured at the time he did might be a godsend. I suspect an injury was bound to happen so this rest is helping him avoid an injury and be back in time for the playoffs.

    yeah, if the league wants to know why guys dismiss the regular season games, they need to look in the mirror.

    shorten the season, widen the court. the game would be so much better. but $$ in both instances.

    True ... to the extent the role players will be injured/spent due to the extra burden.

    It's better to have Bron and hopefully AD in shape and rested but the role players physically shot than the other way around though .

    Not ideal but better

    A LOT of players now are sitting via minor injuries, simple rest days, or leave of absences with mental health issues.

    Just change it to a 68 game schedule or something. Space out games a bit. Give a real all star break. Give the players what they're gonna take anyways without diluting the product.

    Been saying this for years but $$$ trump everything. Imagine saving for a nice ticket, wanting to see some stars one time a year, only to find out, they're sitting out just because. 25% of RS doesn't matter to these guys, the coaches, the fo's anyways. Make it shorter and more competitive.

    So let’s steal one of these two games. Stop turning the f****** ball over and shoot decently.

    Depending on who we have available, we could win this one.

    C Bags waived Mo Wagner. Would you like to have him over anyone we could waive? McKinney has kind of shown his worth. But Mo was a fairly skilled hi energy Big. Started some games for Washington. Can shoot the 3? (lost track). Willing defender? Has Dudz’s slot been filled or is he still on the roster?

    we took both him and bonga over melton, when our scouts liked melton.

    huge loss? no. but with our recent draft success, it's kind of glaring.

    The way I remember it, or at least what’s been rumored, is we liked Mitchell Robinson too, but we went with a Michigan guy for maybe some dumb reasons. It was clearly one of our few real first round mistakes, I’m not sure Mo is even gonna stick in the league. With hindsight he was a bad pick over multiple guys, Shamet, Brunson, Graham, Robinson, Melton, Trent Jr, arguably Spellman. I wouldn’t cut anyone on this roster for him, not even McKinnie.

    I'm glad we got B-Mac when we did. None of those other pending buyout market FA were available, Whiteside, Harkless, Porter Jr.

    Not even the non Freak Greek? I don't think MO has much to offer, but there's at least 100 guys I would roster over lil bro. He's not a NBA player.
