Jrue Holiday to Boston.

The East is loading up. Miami is kicking themselves right now for not just stepping up and making a reasonable offer for Lillard.

Pat Riley only helped to make two main rivals in the east get stronger. If he would have offered more to begin with they wouldn't be in this position, instead he tried to lowball the Blazers and play hardball. The Blazers really did come out of that trade much better than most thought they would. They can still flip Brogdon for additional assets.

J/K. Nice couple of trips up the court for him. Post up game looking solid.

J/K again. Dude seriously just passed to Steph Curry… who was not in the game :pound:

Yeah the big problem for them was nobody wanting Hero on that contract. Apparently Portland didn’t want way future picks either. They did well given the situation Lillard put them in.

Supposed to be his breakout year, we’ll see.

He’s a bigger Jordan Poole.

I can’t think of a more apt comparison really.

Last night was pretty interesting. As expected, Paul is a weird fit with our starting lineup. Klay has zero athleticism left but he held his own pretty well as a post defending SF. Saric and Rudy Gay looked pretty good as depth. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Kuminga fall behind both by the end of the year. I actually expect we’ll trade him for a role player at some point this season. Still no answer for AD without Draymond. Overall I think we have that late run Spurs vet savvy thing going for us once the kinks get worked out.

Podzienski looked pretty good, Lester Quinones did not.

I have not been a fan of kuminga for a while, he’s @Madturk ‘s boy. I wanted to trade him last year but s breakout season would be nice…

Yah hopefully he’s matured and finally found his game. Hard to believe him and Moody are just 20. He has mad skills. I hate to let him go and he blossoms somewhere.
 
Kuminga stays retarded and Klay needs to come off the bench. Looney has more athleticism at this point.
 
We don’t match up well with Lakers. Polish kid might be ok. Klay looks disinterested. Kuminga still a work.

Defense is non existent
 
Lakers are stacked. They just sign one good player after another. Scary depth
 
Fuck LA.

I like our rooks this year. Podz is a little ahead of TJD but I think they can both contribute. Kuminga ends up with a nice game. Cool to see the little troll coaching up the youngsters on the sidelines.

Preseason plus Rivers/Burke.

Too much for me.

Yah unlistenable. This is their #1 team ? Nice to see Jk stepping up. I think both rooks will see some playing time. I would like to see us sign another big
 
Dubs with another pre-season win. Kuminga with another strong showing..led all scorers with 28. Hopefully it translates to the regular season. The physical tools are there. Needs to work on the mental aspect of the game.
 
According to Woj, looks like the Dubs and Klay are very apart on years and $$ in getting an extension done. Doesn't look like Klay is going to give them a hometown discount. I realize it's business, but pretty shitty considering the last huge deal they gave him after his injury and Draymond twice taking less than he could have elsewhere. Dude was a no show vs the Lakers in the playoffs. Really leery about giving him another huge deal.

He's been on record as saying he still considers himself a max player. As much as I want to see him finish a Dub, that's a no for me. Klay plus CP3 expirings for Giannis. Who says no?

Let him go to the Lakers, that's where he wants to play. If there's any team that can make a push for Giannis, it's the Dubs. Seems like he wants out of Milwaukee. Talk about invigorating the fan base. We are also due for one of the young guys to step up. Hopefully it's Kuminga and Moody this season who are both having good pre seasons thus far.
 
Pretty happy with the play of Dub bench. Jackson looks like he can play defense and rebound. He did a good job guarding Sabonis.
Sarich has decent size and can pass and shoot. Definitely a big upgrade over J Green.

Klay has been pretty meh this preseason but I feel a lot better going into the season with this group. The bench seems much deeper.
