Buzz suggests if Utah is ousted in first round, then Mitchell could be dealt to Knicks for Randle, IQ, Cam and 3 first rounders….

I believe Mitchell and KAT is the plan…. KAt a free agent after last season….

Knicks getting a top 8 pick would help

On paper, I think this is possible. But, we’ve been through so many off-seasons of fake hope, I have to assume this is just going to be another case of our front office delivering the same recycling of veterans that no one else wants at the price we paid.

I agree. This is a pipe dream not a plan.

See what NO is doing? Getting MCCullum would have been huge….

“I’m the primary ball handler now,” McCollum said, via Christian Clark of NOLA.com. “Before, Dame was the primary ball handler.”
This move has paid off for the Pels, who have scored more points since they added McCollum to the roster. Their numbers have gone up and they hope to keep things this way for the rest of the season.
The Pelicans rank second in points scored per 100 possessions since they traded for McCollum. Post-trade, they are averaging 102.3 points per 100 possessions in half-court situations, which is up from 89.1 points per 100 possessions prior to Feb. 10.
“He’s such a dynamic scorer,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said. “He can get to his spots and get buckets. But the thing that kind of gets overlooked sometimes is his ability to play make for his teammates. It’s something we talk about as a team. He and Brandon (Ingram) both are doing a great job of getting other guys involved.”

At the end of the 3rd quarter .. Mem Grizz 112 - NO Pelicans 84
And the Pelicans been shooting 50% FG all 3 quarters ..
Ja Morrant performance tonight screamed "I'm the # number 1 pick in the 2019 draft!".
Pelicans FO will probably trade Zion during the 2022 NBA Draft .. just saying

Kyrie Irving had to put up 50 pts tonight to stop the Nets 4 game losing streak for a 132-121 Brooklyn Nets win over the Hornets.

The Cavs 104-96 win over the Raptors had the two top ROY candidates (Mobley & Barnes) going add it crazy for the win ..
Barnes 19 pts, 12 rbs, 6 ast, and 3 Steals
Mobley 20 pts, 17 rbs, 4 ast, and 3 Blocks

The Philly 76ers got Blow-Out 129-100 in their home stadium by the Brooklyn Nets.
No Ben Simmons, but Seth Curry's 24 pts and 5 steals, and Drummond 7 pts 7 rbds, 3 blocks plus stopping Embiid from scoring 30 pts .. has to have Philly FO 2nd guess them selves bout the Harden trade.

If Curry outplays Maxey… PHI doesn’t have a shot.

Another guy we passed on for OBI

Saddiq Bey hit 17-of-27 shots and finished Thursday's win over the Magic with 51 points, 10 rebounds, 10 triples, four assists, three steals and just one turnover.

This week the Nets Kyrie Irving scored a career high 60 points on the Magic (2nd worst team in the league).

I believe I read somewhere Bey’s was the 8th 50-point game in March. No defense?

March Madness Sweet 16

Great Game to watch ....

Kansas 79 over Creighton 72 was all hustle, Kaluma needed extra help today, the Kansas trio wasn't having it.

Half-Time .. (27-3) Gonzaga 31 - (22-10) Memphis 41
Headcoach Penny Hardaway athletic Memphis team vs
Gonzaga's Top dynamic front-court
Lomax & Duren vs Holmgren & Nembhard

Memphis 10 point lead at half time, reminded me of the Knicks 3 losses having a 20 pt lead.

Lol!!! Nets lost to MEM. Gonna be so much fun when those 2 losers enter year 4 without even 1 NBAFinals appearances for BKLN. Gonna be desperate next year, and guess what… they won’t get there next year either!

KD and Kyrie ain’t making Finals… 3 years and nada but failure. Let’s see what happens in year 4.

If KD and Kyrie were Knicks there would be daily segments on how KD and Kyrie have flopped in Ny and can’t handle it.

They fortunate they play in Brooklyn

Austin Reaves finished season strong with a triple dub…. Lots of nobody cats have a good April.

Austin Reaves recorded his first ever triple-double and posted career bests across the board with his 31 points (7-of-17 FGs, 14-of-14 FTs), 16 boards and 10 dimes, adding two steals, one block and three triples in Sunday's OT win over the Nuggets.

Why fire Vogel? DeRozan was heading to LAK when Westbrook reached out to LJ and James begged to bring in Russ, not DD

Lakers fire Vogel and now LJ will try to force way back to CLE.

LJ a player, not a GM. If LAK signed DeRozan… they probably win another title.
