Yep. I was definitely on the wrong end of that one. Especially since they wound up with Dinwiddie, who's just a (very) poor man's version of DeRozan.

I think a good rule of thumb to remember is that when the end of your roster has the likes of Powell, Boban, Bey, Terry, Melli, Johnson, Richardson, Iwundu and WCS, just take talent and worry about fit later.

Just as guilty as @"KillerLeft". He is having the best season of his career. Didn´t expect something like that from an aging guard without a 3-ball. But was there a realistic way to add him?

Well I can say right now that Dinwiddie+Bertans is more talented than Terry, Bey, Melli, Johnson, Richardson, WCS, and Iwundu. So.... a step in the right direction?

No chance.

Let's talk next season when he is fully recovered.  I trust him more than everyone on the team not named Luka or JB to be able to create a good shot for himself though.

Wait. That means you trust him . . . how much??? I don’t trust him at all but can agree with your statement nonetheless. I mean, next in line would have to be Trey Burke, right? And no one has trusted Burke since  he left Ann Arbor in 2013.

That's probably more a damning of the rest of the team's ball handling skills than it is an endorsement of Spencer.

Feeling a little bit better about the Clippers game. Mavs aren´t the only team that is struggling against them. Curry cannot miss. Clippers still have the lead.

The Clippers are good, man. I feel so bad for their fans. Must suck to have two superstars out.

Seth Curry just led the Nets to a convicting win over the Kings.

Seriously puts in perspective how impressive Luka's 51 point outing was against them. He nearly eclipsed that the next game too. 

Clips are a formidable opponent even with their main guys out.

...and it only cost about three first round picks and six second round picks to get there. Confused

This caught my eye. I wonder if this is even true.

Why feel bad for them? They have their choice of two teams, and they chose the Clippers. They relish the pain.

That's a really great team for sure even without PG and Kawhi. Mann and Jackson can really play and are playmakers that know how to score. Kennard shoots lights out. Zubac protects well the paint and plays great D. Morris as well, he hit some tough shots against us. Covington was fantastic on D. I mean they all play good D actually. They need one superstar to go all the way. But they have a good team that will reach playoffs in case they are out and are hard to beat.

Would destroy Morey career if Harden opts out and leaves  Big Grin

Not sure why that would be untrue. Feels like there would be no reason for false narratives about this to circulate at this time.

And people questioned Ty Lue's coaching ability.  He should get a few COTY votes just for navigating that roster without their 2 stars.

Looks like clickbait to me. Do you honestly think Cuban would give the keys to the bus to Morey?  I don't.
