2016 NBA Season Notes/Info

Kris Dunn is going to become the Twolves version of Trey Burke. That player you look at when you got a young, talented, and stacked team but you see that one complete waste of a high lottery pick and just think "What if we drafted someone who wasnt terrible?"

Portland Trail Blazers forward Maurice Harkless may want to think twice about shooting three-pointers during Wednesday's regular-season finale against the New Orleans Pelicans at Moda Center.

As Kristian Winfield of SB Nation explained, he will miss out on a $500,000 bonus if his three-point shooting percentage for the 2016-17 campaign falls under 35 percent following the game.

Harkless is sitting at 35.1 percent, meaning even one missed three could ultimately cost him half a million dollars.

As Brett Pollakoff of Fox Sports wrote, the Trail Blazers are locked in with a first-round Western Conference playoff matchup versus the Golden State Warriors, so Harkless may want to stick with layups against New Orleans.

He has shot one three in the last 3 games. He went 3/5 4 games ago and he seemed to stop shooting them since then. Must have been enough to put him over the hump.

That's one of those incentives that kind of suck to put into a contract. I would hate to have my player be scared to shoot or have that in his mind during the season.

It's one of those things that IDK how a bookie could take bets on such a prop.. knowing thats at stake.. it does affect the integrity of the game but people won't really bring it up..

That's an underrated and potentially brilliant addition by LeGM. LeBron has never had a big time blocker since he's been on top. Tavares has some Rudyesque potential in him.

I've long been a supporter of Tavares so I'm rather biased. He's gotten a raw deal. The HAwks actually liked him it's just their backup C hits 40% 3's.. Look at these blocks tho.. It's insane.. He dwarfs Poeltl..

The Magic fired their GM Rob Hennigan.. Not breaking news but I don't think it's been mentioned here yet. Magic fans are very happy with the move.

About time... He hasn't drafted too badly, but his trades were pretty bad. Some of the most lopsided trades ever made. He also doesn't seem to have the right plan in place. They never really 'tanked' properly to get the right talent.
