I agree, Cool. But it's awkward already having Allen at center.

Lip, you asked about Prince and defense. Let's just say he's not Tayshaun Prince.

The bad news: he ranked 84th out of 88 PFs in DRPM last year.

The good? He ranked ahead of Chimezie Metu, DJ Wilson, Jaren Jackson and Gallo...sheesh.

I'm withholding opinion assuming there's more to come. Absent that, this is a disaster.

Suggs is going to be really good. Good for Orlando.

Any ideas for a Pascal Siakam deal? He's on his way out of Toronto.

If there's a bigger deal in the offing, then what about the following:

That's what I thought, FNG. That's why I didn't bother to look up his defensive stats. I knew it would just depress me. I don't think it's a disaster yet. Yes, Rosas has taken another step towards solidifying his position as the NBA's village idiot. But it's not a disaster until Rosas makes his big deal, which is likely around the corner. So just sit tight and hope that some head of basketball ops who's dumber than Gersson swoops in and saves the day.

On the trade I think Prince is taking the Juancho Vanderbilt minutes. I suspect they dont resign vando right away and wait to see whether they can land a starting 4. Juancho has got to be gone too now imo.

Trying to provide some optimism on the Prince deal.

His TS % of 53.7 is better than DLO's 52.9.


[sub](both are far below the league average of 56.8% though)[/sub]
