CJ McCollum with 27 pts 10/13 fg 7/8 from 3
AT HALFTIME
why does he have to waste his playing days on the wizards, couldnt a legit team use his services?
he's also an expiring $30,666,666 contract.
Is this the year Dubnjoy and I can finally get a juicy Heat/Raptors bet going? I want 8-5 odds on whatever it is

Sheppard has been cooking now that he's gotten some run and a chance to settle in. They're calling him IRS and Cocaine Curry on the Rockets boards.
31/9/5 with 3 stocks for the Tax Man.
They wanted to give his minutes to Beal.
Spoiler
Womp womp womppp.
SGA almost didnt play yesterday due to an illness.
I think he plays better while sick.
OKC might legit to 77-5.

OKC currently has 3 picks in the lottery too...
Honestly I'd keep em. They can fill out their team with cheap contract players. They draft well so I'd trust them to make great picks.
And **** it roll the dice gamble on the lottery.
You already have the best team in the league just stack it up beyond that.
This draft class is gonna be stacked. Would be really hard to miss with three lotto tickets even if you were bad at evaluating talent, but I can't imagine the type of players they'll be drafting are gonna want to play behind people. Getting Reed Shepparded into a bench role isn't what these dudes want. We saw a player (Bailey) tank his own draft stock to avoid that situation.

In fairness, they have 3 picks NOW, but 2 of them are varying degrees of protected.
LAC's pick is unprotected, Philly is only 1-4 but they're pretty solid so far, Utah is protected 1-8, so that's probably going to convey if Utah keeps hanging out where they are.
Yeah please let's stop saying they have 3 lottery picks. They won't have 3 lottery picks by the time the draft comes. They're closer to having 0 picks than 3 picks in the lottery
Micky Sotto from the premier League is BALLING. Through 27 games he's averaging 43 ppg. I know it's the premier league but that's crazy former 2024 #4 ranked h.s. prospect. Good choice not entering college like lamelo. Last season averaged just 9. Super development project at 6'8 2 guard.. from the pics online he looks skinnier than Durant did in college
2024*

All I'm saying is that the fact that it's even possible is a major flaw in the draft rule architecture because a championship squad can't play and develop all of that talent. SGA, JDub, and Chet are signed. Not exactly the scenario a high USG future NBA star is looking for, let alone multiple in the same class. The entire point of drafts is to distribute that talent.
