Jerry Sloan was an oddity that we got used to. Most NBA coaches like to have the defense in front of them in the second half. Sloan liked to have the offense. Coach Q is doing what most coaches historically do.
Prediction: In the final year of his contract, if the Pelicans still aren't soaring, Davis will request a trade to Utah, Denver, Portland, or Chicago with Utah and Denver being the more likely two.
I fear he might be part of the issues, particular chemistry issues that Houston has been facing. Denver is playing well without him on the team and Houston is not playing well with him. I wouldn't do Houston any favors either.
I was surprised that Lyles was in the starting unit. I thought Withey or Tibor would get the start, as to not change the bench rotations and keep the size. That stated Favors had an A+ game so it seemed right to start him at center.
Given that they were taken one pick apart, the debate of Hayward v. George will last forever or at least until one retires/wins a title. Thus far in their careers, George has the edge with his all star and Team USA appearances.
If Brandon Jennings comes back healthy and can ball immediately... I think the Jazz should make a move to get him. It would be a one year rental and Pistons are doing well, so they might not want to shake up their rotation too much. Jennings might not fully accept that it is Reggie Jackson's...
Kanter gives OKC exactly what they needed, a low post scorer. That said, as genius as Presti is, he should have pulled his trigger finger on a max deal for Harden... instead he got big ones a little too late and did that same deal on Kanter.
Chalmers to replace Exum would make total sense as Exum's floor is probably Chalmers (His ceiling Penny Hardaway). Chalmers brings similar length on the defensive end and has long arms like Exum. He can also hit a set three point shot. The offensive flow would not change very much between...
The heat have been trying to move Chalmers for cap relief so I wonder what the Jazz offered. Must have been bad. You'd think one of the Jazz's many 2nd rounders would have gotten it done.
My apologies if this was already posted, but I didn't see a thread for it.

I liked Neto's jump shot. People said he couldn't shoot and it looks like he has good form. I also thought Jingles jump shot had a much quicker release than last season.
In light of last night's real head-to-head battle between Drummond and Gobert, I would love to revisit this hypothetical match-up. Drummond owned Gobert in the post in one-one-one situations, either scoring or getting to the line and shooting 8 for 11 from the stripe. At the end of the season, I...
If Jazz trade Burke plus a pick for Dennis, it would seem like the 2013 draft was a huge blunder for the Jazz, maybe worse than it was for Cleveland. The Jazz could have just drafted Dennis at #14 and gotten Dieng, PLumlee, Hardaway or Gobert at #21. To have traded up and taken Burke and then...
