Finishes with 62.

Finishes with 62.

Steve Kerr was saying the Warriors would come around. Curry still needs a running mate though.

Maybe all these games are glorified pickup games that are nevertheless important until teams get in shape and find chemistry.

Grizzlies are signing guard Tim Frazier with hardship exception.

@Russ Smith knows about Bagley Sr. He’s a low key Lavar so I’m sure he’s trying pull strings with his sons career. Marvin had been really disappointing especially offensively. He looks like a great athlete without skill.

He's deceptively athletic, he looks really long but he doesn't measure long, he looks quick off his feet but he's not a great leaper. I'm surprised he didn't score more in the NBA than he has so far, I'm not surprised by his defense he had that issue at Duke too.

the dad made a nice career out of coaching Marvin in AAU and then moving to North Carolina when he signed with Duke so I'm sure he did some things but he was nowhere near as vocal as Daddy Ball.

Warriors after slow start to season move to 4-3 after beating the Kings 137-106 last night.

 

[Mainstreet]

After a good start the Kings (3-4) have to be thinking after their third straight loss.

maybe they can sell themselves to the g-league

 

[Mainstreet]

There are $5 billion good reasons for the NBA to expand by two teams.

From Real GM article:

Officials within the league office have floated a price tag of $2.5 billion each for two expansion teams to join the NBA in the near future, sources tell Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

The strength of the Kings is in their point guards: Fox, Haliburton and Joseph.

Haliburton being out with a reported bone bruise doesn't help.

That could have been a lot worse. The injury had the look of an Achilles tear.

Yeah, he was sort of looking back. There was no contact on the play.

Ugh he was playing well to.

Poor Fultz. Hope he can recover. He's had some bad luck. He'll be a free agent this summer. I wouldn't mind seeing the Suns try to bring him in on a bargain deal.

He recently signed a 3 year extension.

3 years for 50 million? Orlando overpaid. I would have guessed he'd be worth no more than the mid level exception. Oh well, he was just someone I wouldn't have minded seeing the Suns take a flyer on. At that cost though its a real gamble.

Most people didn't like the cost. I actually thought he was worth it...before the ACL tear. Now it's definitely not looking great for Orlando. They also signed Isaac to a huge extension, meaning they have a ton of money invested in unproven guys coming off huge injuries.

The Wednesday Child of Basketball.

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
