I hope it happens because Jalen wasn't going to get the opportunity here.

Rats. I was hoping the Rockets would sweep the Lakers, Dallas, Golden State, etc. in the playoffs.

San Antonio is a dark horse. Denver got better and OKC is still the team to beat.

I could see the playoffs being OKC, Denver, Dallas, LAL, Houston, GS, SA, and Minnesota out West. OKC and Denver are the only locks to avoid the play in, IMO.

The East is wide open though. Boston will be without Tatum, Indiana without Hali, and Knicks without a coach. Cleveland lost most of their assistants as well, which is usually a big deal but they're young and have some ego's that need managed.

Losing VanVleet is going to hurt the Rockets for sure. They will need Reed Sheppard and/or Aaron Holiday to step up. I can see them adding a point guard.

Now that KD is there, the Rockets don't need a PG. Everything flows through KD. Ask Tyus Jones.

Didn't we learn that here? LOL!

I feel bad for Sengun. He was coming into his own as a big and sort of a poor man's Jokic. Perhaps Alvin Adams would be a better comparison. He was a good high post center who could distribute but he'll relegated to the corner now.

Center Thomas Bryant will sign with the Cavaliers.

I hope they miss the playoffs and their arena burns down.

The Warriors wrap up their second round pick, Will Richard, on a four-year contract. Wish the Suns would do more of this than risk their salary going up.

I think it was kind of expected. Now the decision on Kuminga needs to be made.

I don't have the information in front of me, but the Warriors could have the oldest starting lineup in the NBA.

Nevertheless, Al Horford has had a nice career.

Deandre, you were on a Finals team and a 64 win Suns team when it counted… it counted a lot.

Looking forward to meet Deandre, Luka and LeBumbyflop in preseason. Correct me if I'm wrong but it is on Friday, right? Today is Tuesday.

Go Suns!
