Do we have an artist among us? We could truely make a cartoon out this rebuild/journey, plot twists, shocking moments, drama and suspense.

That would be Great. -- You couldn't have imagined this. -- Reality is Good Material.
Let's see what happens today, Draft Day.

Did a quick jersey swap.

With this franchises luck, I don’t even care if he ends up being a bust so long as he doesn’t suffer a season ending injury in the preseason / first game of the season. If he can play 50 regular season games and is able to go into the playoffs healthy I’ll already consider that a huge success.

Is this deal happening?

That was so 12 hours ago.

Media keep it too light, I want a deep dive on KP’s health. What’s Boston think of his medical, injury history? What do they think of his fitness now?

Occasionally guys age out of injury-proneness, Grant Hill a great example.

I was just gonna say, put Kristaps in bubble wrap until training camp. No luck. He'll be playing in the upcoming FIBA World Cup. No Gallo repeat please!!!

Shut it down

Porzingis is a terrific rim protector and gives Tatum a guy to run a 2-man game with. Pick and roll, pick and pop. I think it's a really good fit. I like the draft picks as well.

The 2 draft picks is an underrated get. Specially GSW one. Sucks #25 comes in a year where there aren't many multi year college players with limited potential but ready to contribute. This draft feels overall weak and with a lot of incognitas

I was 100% the first in on a Zinger add for this team this offseason - going to play that card once only and use it to suggest we refer to Zinger’s career averages for what is expected from him rather than his career year last year.

I mean, outside chance he is better but let’s just be reasonable lol.

As a guy who has reportedly been prickly with some teammates at previous stops, but by his commitment to D shows his commitment to winning, could there be any parallels between Porzi coming in and how Butler's attitude has made him a leader in Miami?

JT may still be the central piece in terms of talent, but his sluggish, individual award-focused, personality isn't going to inspire a team to gritty victory. And JB simply doesn't have the BBIQ to lead a team.

So any chance Porzi steps into the leadership vacuum and reshapes the C's identity, getting them to bear down, be smart, and win as a team?

Watching those highlights it reinforces how valuable guys like Porzingis, Markkanen, and Jokic are.

Their size and skill makes them awkward to guard so they can either create their own shot or space the floor to create other threats.

In those clips, Porzingis regularly keeps the defense off kilter, just like Jokic. Huge advantage, excited to see what KP and Tatum can do together especially.

And we become more likable in the process.

You're leaving the fan base?

Watching the video, it reminded me of what made him so popular as a young player on the Knicks: the put-back slams. He's got a real knack for it.

Of course, I'd give half his athleticism for a quarter of Jokic's supernatural feel for the game. But it's something we can use.
