From picks 10 through 30, only #12 and #28 weren't traded at some point. That's wild.

Possibly all of him, Tatum and Lillard, right?  Any injury requiring surgery is devastating, does anyone know if Achilles' injuries are as potentially career altering as some knee injuries?  Look at what happened to Derrick Rose, might have been on a HOF trajectory before the knee injury afterwards, was not on the same trajectory.

It's hard to compare, but as mentioned KD did come back and is still awesome. Though I do think KDs game is less avout quickness and explosion than Halliburton and Tatum and more predicated on being an absolutely incredible shooter ans a real good athlete at 7 feet tall with great bball IQ.

Dylan Harper looks a bit like his dad. 

Ron Harper Jr looks like his dad put on a bad Afro wig and hoped nobody would notice.

Bulls FO earning those extensions by sitting on their hands.

I'm curious if this Austin Bailey drama about being pouty about Utah drafting him will have any legs.

Kevin Durant traded to the Rockets.

I'm pretty sure the Bulls are the only team he HASN'T played for at this point

Sounds like the Kevin Durant trade could turn into a seven team trade. If true, then holy smokes.

More rich guys to pay off Trump on get out of jail free cards.

LOL this is just an absurd sequence.

The dude is going to put up multiple quadruple doubles, I just know it.

Austin Reeves really missed a 50 pt triple dub by 1 assist? What the hell.

Was at the game last night. With a few minutes left he was something like 2 or 3 assists and 3 or 4 rebounds short. I thought the easy one would be the assists since the Kings started double teaming him to make somebody else score.

Wemby definitely looks smarter and stronger this year, which is scary if he can continue to transform his body like Giannis did.

I didn't expect him to be such a good shooter - he's already an 80% free throw shooter and 35% three point shooter. It looks like he's learning how to get to the line consistently. He has moves that are literally un-guardable. I'm not sure how you game plan around that.

There was a video of Wemby taking down a rebound and dribbling behind his back twice and one more time between his legs as he navigated through traffic after his rebound. The video was on repeat and I couldn't stop watching it. Didn't look clumsy at all. It was a guy in complete control and it was fascinating.

The Bulls are 5-0 for only the third time ever (95-96 and 96-97). I would have guessed they'd done it 3 or 4 times. As if that wasn't surprising enough, the Spurs are 5-0 for the first time ever. Between 93-94 and 16-17, the Spurs played at a 53 win pace or better (phrased this way due to the two lockout shortened seasons) in 22 of 24 seasons yet somehow never started 5-0. That is wild.

Spurs will be even better once De'Aaron Fox takes to the court. He's injured a lot, but damn good when he is on the floor.

Jaylen Brown's spray-on hair keeps rubbing off on players under shirts. horsefeathers is ridiculous lol.
