Grayson Allen was a sneaky good pickup for Milwaukee. I love the fit.

I didn't watch the Bucks-Nets game, but I saw that Harden only took 4 free throws. Did he try to bait folks into fouling him and they were no-calls due to the new rules or was it just a night where he didn't go to the basket much?

I would love nothing more than to see James Harden get disproportionately affected by the new rules.

Jeff Schwartz, Marvin Bagley's agent:

"Sacramento has informed Marvin Bagley he is not in the opening night rotation, which is completely baffling. It's clear they have no plans for him in the future and yet passed on potential deals at last year's deadline and this summer based on "value". Instead, they chose to bring him back but not play him, a move completely contradictory to their "value" argument. This is a case study in mismanagement by the Kings organization."

Bagley is still a guy that I'd have a lot of interest in acquiring for peanuts even while acknowledging that he doesn't solve the problems on this Minnesota team. I just think he's very talented, very gifted and still 22-years old while showing that he can produce at the NBA level. The Wolves don't have the best salaries to match in a trade, but maybe next summer he's a great buy-low candidate.

What a night for the Bucks. The ring ceremony was fantastic and the beatdown of the Nets extremely enjoyable. Bring on the Wolves tomorrow night.

One of the two NBA teams I can't stand, Brooklyn, has already lost. Even better, they took a beating. Now it looks like the other NBA team I despise, the Lakers, is about to go down. That's a good start to the season.

He is listed at 6'11" and is a good rebounder. He probably still sucks at D and who knows if he can hit a 3 or not but yeah I'd absolutely buy low on him. I thought statistically he was having a relatively speaking nice season last year. It seems a little weird he isn't even going to be in the rotation for that team but maybe they are playing the best players. Bobby Marks said if he doesn't reach starter criteria then his QO drops to like 7 million. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It seems like from the little I have read the past few months Bagley has basically moved on from being really frustrated and tried to make the best of everything.
