Jim Buss was the problem. Replacing Kupchak and bringing in Magic just can't turn out well

I think Magic is going to fail terribly. I mean, he's no Vlade Divac, but I just don't see it happening.

Not NBA, but found it interesting: Wiggins: Bullied during career in 'toxic' WNBA
I mean, obviously the WNBA has tons of gay players, but I never imagined it would be so completely reversed. If she's being honest and somewhat accurate, it's sad how hypocritical those players are, since I know plenty of them have been outspoken against homophobia.

Pretty mild trade season this year. I really like the Mavs picking up Noel, though.

I'm not sure Gibson will have that big an impact on his rebounds. And even if he does, Westbrook only has to average 8.8 rebounds the rest of the season to finish with double digits. McDermott, on the other hand, could be a plus for his assists since the team is so bereft of shooters.

Agreed on assists. I even think Gibson will help on that account. Sabonis started the season strong, but quickly fell off a cliff and couldn't get up. I think the playing time will help his career, but he isn't quite ready yet.
Hope you're correct about the rebounds, the triple double average is all I've got going for me this season.

Been so fucking pissed at the Mavs' FO, but by the grace of the basketball God's (and a ton of luck from other teams), they have managed to develop some existence of a decent young core. 22 year old potential franchise Center, Barnes as a good 24 yr old wing, to go along with some solid guard play in Seth Curry (26) & Yogi Ferrell (23 rookie). None of this matters much without finding a superstar somewhere in the next few years, but its a start. Surely this team finishes with a Top 7-10 type pick still. Would love to get one of: Smith Jr., Monk, Tatum, Ntilikina, Markkanen, Fox etc
Cousins Top 5 is definitely a stretch: LeBron, Durant, Curry, Leonard, Davis, Harden, Paul & Westbrook are still better players.

Ben SImmons is out the entire season. His foot has not fully healed. Sixers have not been lucky in the injury department. Hopefully he comes back okay.

Lol. Sixers either gonna be the next KD/Westbrook/Harden Thunder or the next Roy/Oden/Aldridge Blazers.

Well, he's gotten off on the right foot in the first game with those guys... 17-18-17, haha. I wonder if anyone has ever had higher numbers for all three categories in a triple double before.
