Sounds like we need to add Ja to the Summer League roster.

Why did you airbrush his tattoos away?

I hear this guy may be available

Pre season games count?

Boom! I was hoping he would.

That may have been the reasoning, but it seems that Jaren works better as a 4. He absolutely thrives when he's able to be the help D instead of being a primary defender down low.

Is this Kyrie's pathetic attempt at trying to be LeGM? https://sports.yahoo.com/kyrie-irving-is-reportedly-trying-to-recruit-lebron-james-to-the-dallas-mavericks-155512791.html

I think that partially played into it. The first and foremost reason, was we were heading into the off-season down two bigs. If one of our 3 remaining bigs got injured, we were up the creek without a paddle. Kennedy really had no use being on our roster with Ja & Tyus, so he was easily the one to go. I'm sure there's still some hope that Kenny could turn into a Paul Millsap or PJ Tucker type of player, and they didn't wan't to lose our 20-year old G-League MVP for absolutely nothing. He could be used in a trade, but there's only an argument that can be made that he's got higher trade value than Jitty, Jake, and BC (only because of the injury.)

I won’t hold my breath for that additional info being positive.

Can’t. He’s under contract another 2 years.

I don’t think having another scorer is holding us back. Obviously, we should always be looking at opportunities to make our roster better. But, what has held us back the last two years is health. Had everyone been healthy, I think we could have made the Finals each year. With Dillon gone, we will have a new starter next season. Will it be Jitty, Ziaire, Roddy, or LaRavia? I don’t think Jake is ready to step into that role. Jitty has the lowest ceiling. I really want it to be Ziaire, but unless he can turn those flashes of greatness we saw 2nd half of his rookie year into more of a frequent occurrence, it’s gonna be Roddy.

Some players announced for USA FIBA World Cup team - Austin Reaves, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Halliburton, Bobby Portis, and Mika’s Bridges.

Naw, Adam Silver hands the Finals MVP to Jokic, then looks at the camera and says “Ja Morant is on ice for __ games.”

I don't think it happens either. But for instance, Raptors wont trade OG straight up for Dillon, but maybe they would trade OG for Dillon and three 1st round draft picks.
