Pistons: A+
Using cap space and exceptions to land Schröder, Waters and second-round picks is excellent stuff from the Pistons.
They need another ball-handler to make life easier on Cade Cunningham in the wake of Jaden Ivey’s absence, and Schröder should play better inside an offense that runs more pick-and-rolls. Waters, meanwhile, can be a legitimately useful shooter who delivers some on-ball shake in space.

AK’s post deadline presser was (yet another) “are you stupid or are you lying” moment
They just traded what was very obviously their best player. They are 9 games under .500. Even if you set this as your goal (which is stupid!) do you actually think “playoffs” can happen?

Honestly feels like they just thought it was a good price. I’m assuming they have 2 1sts?
I think it’s as simple as they’re in the play in if the season ended today and that’s what competing means to them.
So Mavs make a terrible trade and take down Boston on the road (Without AD), normal NBA stuff

Philly’s defense was slow but Ausar looked good running the offense.
(Duren with 7 assists as well.)

Big win tonight. Embiid talent for buckets and flopping aaaaallll the time did make it a little scary for a minute.

Stealing this from a friend’s tribute post:
“You like what he brings to the game, okay, and then also you understand that wealth of experience. You know he gets it. One, he knows what he’s talking about, and two, you love that he can explain it in a simple way. So here is a man who has the ability to discuss the activity within the painted area, okay, and the game going on at the top of the key with equal ease.”
Hubie Brown will be broadcasting his last NBA game tomorrow. Must see TV!

As the other Hawks fan on this board (shout out @kturnup ), I’ve gotten to watch some good Michigan Alum basketball recently. Caris vs Poole on Saturday and now Caris vs Franz and friends tonight.
I’m probably one of the few people that was actually excited about the Caris to Atlanta trade including Caris.

There’s Sabonis then Jokic then probably an Eastern European big who comes along in 10 years. lol
I think McHale had that kind of release on his J.
the footwork is maybe even more impressive? dudes put their heels on the line all the time there and he found a spot to get a dribble down, create space and get up a 3? how.
