Send him to a team that could use a long term C and will actually use him right

Brooklyn gotta do what they can to nab him. He makes them a top 10 defense right away and his perimeter coverage won't be as exposed with KD and Bruce who are better perimeter defenders than anyone he's had in Utah.

Problem with Rudy he been frontin as a 1a/b type nikka so his team is fraudulent cause he not that nikka on a title team. But as the 3rd best player behind KD and Ky? Devastating...

Kyrie
Seth
Bruce
KD
Rudy

That's a nasty lineup and they could still get good depth with Joe contract and picks. I don't think Utah goin for Ben but who knows.

great team defense. Great closing team. Booker has ascended to top 10 status.

Struggle with small ball. Durability and depth still an issue.
The Suns are a steady Eddie kind of squad.From watching mostly every game, they're vulnerable to teams that play with physicality, high energy, crash the boards, and spam the 3pt line.They'll give up a bunch of open 3's once you get them scrambling on D.Ayton puts up decent numbers, but he's not a good situational player for the most part.The type of guy who'll grab all the rebounds he's supposed to get, but won't give you those extra effort "Dennis Rodman" type boards.If you decide to go at Ayton in a physical manner, he'll let you win.The only guy I've seen him actually battle with is Jokic.For some reason, he shows the most confidence when going up against the Joker.....The 3 teams that can give the Suns hell in the playoffs are the Warriors, Clips, and the Grizz.Especially the Grizz.They're the Suns kryptonite.They have the athletes and play a brand of basketball perfectly suited to exploit the Suns weaknesses.

Good thing the Suns won't have to worry about the Grizz then. Cause the Wolves gon put the Grizz out in the first round. They don't have the frontcourt to matchup with Edwards, Towns and Vanderbilt. Then you got Reid and Mcdaniels off the bench. I watched every game against the Grizz and the games were close. Even blew em out by 43. As long as they beat the Clippers to get that 7th spot, I'm telling you. The grizz is going home first round.

Former Blazers Coach Terry Stotts Candidate for Kings Job

I think that would be a good look for the Kings. Stotts wasn't a bad coach, he was very resourceful with talent and control he was given.

Above all duke was fair.

He'd definitely get y'all to the playoffs.

At this point I’m just hoping the kings get some real lotto luck. 15-16 yr playoff drought only picked top 3 twice I believe. You would think eventually theyll be able to luck into a legit superstar
