Signing Love for the minimum to replace Gasol would be a smart move by Lakers. Kevin is much more willing to shoot from three than Marc.

Larry Nance is a great acquisition for the Blazers. One of the most underrated players in the NBA. Versatile defender. Good passer. Reliable spot-up shooter. Lob threat. He can screen for Dame and be an outlet when he gets trapped. Nance brings the skills Portland badly needs. https://t.co/QPdbK660g6

Putting Markannen beside Allen or Mob makes sense. He’s not a consistent threat yet…

LNJ certainly helps a woebegone Blazer D but I’m not sure he moves the needle enough to elevate them past where they’re at now which feels low-seeding/play-in.

I agree. Also, the only way Nance Jr. can get his stock to soar is if he could get a chance to come back to the Lakers. I like his talent.

I think they’re in the mix for seed #6. I think it makes them better but nothing to overthink

Norm Powell Larry Nance Robert Covington make them an average NBA defense not historically bad

My guess is Cavs and Memphis swap Larry Nance for Slow-Mo. They don’t need Brooks now thst they have Lauri.

Someone should tell the Suns that the Aztec empire didn’t stretch that far north. It should have been Navajo or Hopi symbols used for inspiration. I’m sure they will hear it from the Navajo, the largest Native American tribe in the region.

Amaranth turns that shade of purple. Unfortunately, Cortez burned their crops when he subjugated them. I see now on a Google search the shades of purple are identical.

Unfortunately that has been the case ever since time began and that’s probably the reason why I may not win the jackpot. I have learned that a messy house is a must in this life – it separates your true friends from other friends. Real friends are there to visit you, not your house. I have also learned that there are two things you will never have to chase in life: true friends and true love.

Chocolate Thunder, Reignman, Skywalker (David Thompson) just missed the cut. The history of this game produced some all-time athletes.

Wait a minute. League Pass has only been in existence since 1995-96 season so Wilt, Nigque, or Dr. J were never on League Pass

LOL. I’ve been a League Pass Subsciber for over 20 years. Never really used it to watch players but I always have a couple of favorite League Pass teams. Last year, it was the Pelicans and Hornets. Still trying to decide whom to watch this year but those two teams are still on the list.

Iceman needed to score 59 points to break the record. He got 63…neither games were aired…that’s why it’s supposed to be a fun exercise to think about back in the day who’d watdh who…
