Gobert/Conley for Paul/Adams

You guys know NBA players play ball.. year round, right? Like, it's their job. If Don weren't with Team USA, he'd be playing in elite runs elsewhere and he'd still be at risk of injury. Ever heard of Rico Hines' runs?

https://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/27132996/vegas-shifts-odds-clippers-favor-win-title Caesar's has released new odds if you want to talk about favorites and the order. Clippers : 11-4 Lakers: 4-1 Bucks: 4-1 76ers: 7-1 Warriors: 10-1 Jazz: 14-1 Rockets: 15-1 Nets: 20-1 Raptors: 50-1 OKC...

Oh, I know. They're definitely thin to non-existent at C unless they play permanent small ball.

I like where we're at with Royce/Ingles. Dante can spend some time on Kawhi as well. Unfortunately, I think Favors would have worked out really well in the pick and roll against those two.

Ew. Which one stays healthy enough to contribute?

Nah. OKC was stuck in a bad BAD way. How many first round exits while paying a MASSIVE luxury tax? They were paying up around $300 million annually as currently constructed. They gave it a couple years and it just wasn't working. Not even a little bit. They needed a reset in the worst way and...

This is so weird. The tracking and everything... it's too much. This is nothing like GH. Hayward made the Jazz and the players go to him. Kawhi is being respectful enough to take flight to Toronto to do his business. Hayward knew. I think Kawhi is giving this his full attention and the respect...

I still don't understand the freaking out about Kawhi to the Lakers. They'll be capped out after that. 3 guys that need load management and will be expected to play heavy minutes once the playoffs roll around? They'll have no depth. Consistently injured guys like Cousins and Iggy are going to be...

Part of it is too much noise these days. We hear about every little event that happens around the world. Venezuela. Hong Kong. Sudan is going through protests as well with ten deaths in the past few days. Do you remember the Paris protests? There's so much NOISE through the news and social media...

Davis vs Favors #'s. He's going to be the starting 4. He's going to play at least 20 minutes a game here. http://bkref.com/tiny/x9oXF

I'll bet he takes up Favors' role. Basically replace Favors with the option of going smaller with Bojan. Royce is a 2-3 and there's no way he says extended minutes guarding down low unless it's an extremely small lineup.

Ingles is a much better PG than people are willing to admit. He ran the second offense quite a bit last year. They'lll close with him, sure. But do you really want Exum running the entire 2nd unit by himself?

Mitchell, Conley, Bojan, ??, Rudy Royce, Ingles, Exum off the bench. Not a bad start. Starting PF won't be a huge deal, but he's got to be perfect for Quin's system.

Supposedly he's here for Summer League.

I'd give up Favors for an Ariza/Rivers combo.

Shams is reporting Favors will take calls from teams once free agency opens, operating as if he were one. Tony and everyone else are saying it's a smart move to know your options, but there's a little bit of smoke to this. The Jazz have probably hinted at or outright told him they're keeping...

Drop Favors and whoever else and absorb Tucker/Gordon. Now.

I can see us making a run with a guy like Ariza. 3 and D. Someone long enough to switch onto a superstar and at least brother him.

Hayward pissed off A LOT of people with the way he left. Those same people are still in charge. That'd be the first hurdle to clear. Favors and Exum for Hayward? As a basketball player, he's lost a lot that made him an All Star a couple years ago. He's not back all the way from his injury. Two...
