If Andre Drummond can learn to do FT than Fultz can re-learn to shoot 3s. There are plenty of players that come into the league without a shot that developed into good/great shooters. Fultz already has a leg up on them because he's shown it before pre-injury. Not as many as come into the league and never learn. u so clever

Sometimes when a couple's relationship is on the rocks they decide to invest in having a baby together in the hopes it will rekindle their former joys The Twolves owner moving quickly at this point to get Butler out— essentially told Thibs to shove it on keeping Butler and wants him gone before practice starts Tuesday. I think the Towns deal was a strong signal Butler is gone, but it’s a ton of money for a guy who plays such horrid defense

It's kind of a weird thing with there being a cap on max contracts in the NBA (and here at D5). Some guys are just borderline worth the max, like Otto Porter, but then there are guys as good as Lebron who get paid the exact same even though their actual value is more like $200m/yr or something crazy.

Agree. You wouldn’t have super max teams if there wasn’t player contract limitations.

Maybe I'm being pessimistic but to me this translates as: Ayton's rookie year numbers will be less impressive.

I could definitely be wrong, I have been before many times, but I've had a strong feeling for a while that Ayton is going to be an epic bust. He's someone that mesmerizes you with athletic gifts but doesn't seem to have the bbiq or skills to match.
Really interested to see how he looks on an nba floor

Pretty clear Thibs will do anything to sabatoge a legit trade offer by asking for dumb ass counters

The Suns have essentially held a stealth-Process, without anyone noticing, and part of that process is to fire the GM who built your amazing team of youngsters just like the Sixers did with Hinkie.

To be fair, outside of Booker, they haven't really hit on any other players. And Booker is reasonably flawed if he's supposed to be a cornerstone.
