This is a fun piece on Caleb. I hope this is his real breakthrough into the rotation.

Two takes from that:
- second round could be useful when not traded.
- and you could find good role players, that also cost a lot less of some of the guys we've resigned to a lot more money with little success.

Easy to forget he is still on a rookie deal. Hopefully as what the magic hopefulls said, this is not a flash in a pan as he ends his rookie deal. Hope his hunger continues even if he signed a real nba contract.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and former first-round pick Chuma Okeke have agreed to a deal, filling the East leaders' final open roster spot, sources tell ESPN. Okeke averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists for NBA G League Westchester this season.

Dwight Howard has been elected as a first-ballot member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025, sources tell ESPN. Howard was an 8-time All-Star, 8-time All-NBA, 3-time Defensive Player of Year, a 2020 NBA champion, and won one Olympic gold medal with Team USA.

Unequivocally Deserved!!

I'm watching Knicks/Hawks on league pass and I'm really hoping this is how the Hawks play against us. Their defense has been atrocious.

EDIT: Knicks have scored 78 points in the first half and Dominique Wilkins is, with a straight face, trying to pitch me Dyson Daniels as DPOY lol

I’m really struggling with this Paul Porter stuff. The lack of respect this ownership shows is so off putting, and it’s just tone deaf. The man has been with the team its entire existence. 36 years! And he’s not worthy of a farewell tour season? Ugh. I hate the DeVos’ and Alex Martins and I truly hope they sell the team.

This^. Tone deaf is being nice. +1 from me. Since I can’t upvote anymore for reasons unknown.

Same with me we’ve been black listed by Weltman for continuing to voice our displeasure with this weirdly constructed team.

Wow, he was so bad with us. Good luck Okeke.
