Guess trades can open a lot of lanes, actually its really weird, remember watching Wiseman in pre season a bit and thought, damn this gonna be an issue for others, then whole +/- went to shit for him in a season.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Booker out for another month now 
What was the fecking point of rushing him back for the Christmas game.

Need to make a trade for that to happen. Steph + the depth from 6 to 9 is what won the championship last year. Donte is starting to have a GP2 impact as he has settled, and Kuminga is playable in the playoffs but need one more piece. Klay is never going to be All-star level player again but with Steph back and in the playoffs, I would expect him to be zoned in on defense more and chuck less which is fine for your 4th best starter.
You can see why they drafted Wiseman - very good hands and smooth movement for his height but he still plays like someone who hasn't played much (which he hasn't) and lacks bbiq.
Good win tonight - came from 12 down without Steph, Wiggins, Klay on a back-to-back night. Draymond was immense in the 4th and DDV continues to play great. Ty Jerome's best game yet. Poole with 26 with a mix of the good and the boneheaded as always.
That is a huge win. Absolutely delighted. Draymond down the stretch was like god on defence.
there are definitely some pieces starting to come together, feels like we still need one more young guy to step up a level and then we can start talking

Yeah, that's fair. I think I have a little more leniency when it comes to the issue of team record. They are only 2 games back of the 3rd seed though. If the gap was significant I would probably dock him a little more.
Nets now second seed in the East with 10 wins in the last 10 games, and 14 in the last 15. If KD stays healthy and Irving does not do anything stupid, they are gonna get first seed soon, the most in form team in the league.
Simmons playing well but nowhere near his best. If he manages to get back to his form, they can go quite far.

Doubt they will go above Celtics though they could find themselves in a cruise mode quite soon so that might happen then. I reckon both Celtics and Bucks are going to be saving themselves for the playoffs where I guess only one of them can knock out the other. Nets, Cavs and Sixers are the chasing pack but their best hope is Celtics/Bucks getting short handed by injuries when it comes to the playoffs as I can’t see any of them winning a series of 7 against them otherwise.
Sixers have also found their form though it’s probably good for 48-52 wins and an early playoffs exit anyway.
And speaking of East, Atlanta may be the next team to blow it up. Some rumors making their rounds about Trae not being particularly happy with the franchise and with so much value in Dejounte I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a move.

Luka needs to be stopped.
For the advanced stat fans, Luka has now gone past Jokic in EPM. Steph and AD stay 3rd and 4th.
Vols win and the Dubs come back in the 4th to win as well.
What a great night!
Woohoo!

Another game I start watching in the 4th quarter and the Warriors go on a crazy comeback run to win at the Chase again. Draymond with another defensive masterpiece in those last 6 mins. When Steph and Wiggins come back, the Warriors are really just one good rotation piece away from another deep playoff run with both Donte and Kuminga looking very good.
Closer than it should have been given how we started but it feels better that way! Outscored Portland 16-2 in the last 5+ minutes, they really shit the bed there. Poole had some bad turnovers but a pretty good shooting night from him and Klay. DDV with the late steal and 3 was great and Kuminga continues to impress. I saw someone call him “big Kum” which is just the worst.
Also great to see GP2 back and get his well earned ring. Hopefully @Sarni you get to see him play for you guys soon. Probably my favourite ever one season warrior.

Wow KCP and Vlakto Cancar both went 100/100/100 for shooting percentages in Denver’s win tonight.
20 points and 15 points respectively so it’s not a random 4 point fluke.

Something like 60% or 70% of Jokic's assists lead to lay-ups.
For contrast, league leader Halliburton's assists that lead to lay-ups is in the 30's.

Can't believe that two slow doughboys absolutely dominate the league.
I really wonder why no one has done an xA stat for basketball assists. Would put into perspective the quality of passes as well, Jokic would be really high in that regard as well.
The league has been dominated for the last 10 years by two guys born in Akron.
LeBron and Larry Nance Jr?
I don’t think Payton is ever going to play for us. He’s got a one year contract and most likely won’t come back this season judging by the developments so far. We have pretty much gone from the best clutch team in the league in the first few games to the worst now. Up 8 with 4 minutes to go and we only scored two more points.
LeBron and Steph. For those that didn't know, they were both actually born in the same hospital.
He has a 3 year contract - would not have made any sense for him to leave the Warriors for a one-year contract. He will get paid by the Blazers !
Thought it was just one year mid-level exception. In that case he will probably sit out this season and return next year though I won’t be surprised if his salary is used as a makeweight in a trade before deadline. It’s $9m a year I think so we could get back a decent player. Him, Winslow and Keon plus two first round picks for Anunoby is my bet.
That's crazy, I didn't know that (he was even born in Akron too). I suppose you don't hear it because LBJ has essentially trademarked that kid from Akron.
I knew they were both from Akron but that’s pretty fecking wild that they were born in the same hospital. Two basketball greats born in the same hospital just a couple of years apart.
Who’s gonna stop these Nets man. They’re like a runaway train.
Doncic with another 50 point game !
Celtics on the 12th
If OG is available for a reasonable price, I hope the Warriors are in for him. Would trade Wiseman, Moody, JMG and a first for him.
It's beyond ridiculous. And they need every single point and rebound, especially with the entire defense (sans Bullock?) out injured.
Raptors will want two picks at least. Wiseman’s value is extremely low but Moody might still be worth a first round pick. I think our offer above would be way too low though and this is probably even worse.
I went to sleep seeing he had 22 points in the first quarter, a bit disappointed he only ended up with 50
never thought id love another player as much as i loved Jason Kidd but Doncic is a joke.
Another triple dub for GOATkic
Completely outplayed a direct MVP rival in Tatum, too. Great performance.
12 assists with zero turnovers too.
Jokic started season slow but lately he is playing really well. Doncic and Jokic are simply amazing.
30 on 13 attempts, thats to high, he should go back to 4-5 attempts.
@Sarni looks like GP2 finally plays tonight
