One supposes it depends if Kon Kneuppel ends up being the Greg Kelser to Cooper Flagg's Magic Johnson; ie the #4 pick who only looked good in college because he was sharing the floor with the #1.

Who were the clods who over-rated Kelser? Your then-San Diego Clippers, making dumb draft decisions for decades. (Or, when they hit a stroke of genius, such as "trade Mikal Bridges and other considerations to make sure we get SG-A", turning around and botching it the very next season. Siiiiigh.)

I was actually mildly impressed w/kk. And that is saying a lot coming from this Tar Heels fan. There were times Flagg was missing and you could see him carry the Devils offense w/a variety of offensive skills. But dook also had a perverted amount of talent in an ACC that has never been weaker. So you might have to grade those performances on a curve. Nevertheless, I will be more than happy to see a dookie go boom.

Huh, Collins is 5 years younger than Norman, but he doesn't have the championship experience, and all his best stats (PPG, RPG, shooting) came in 2019-2020. He had a nice bounce-back season last year after 5 years of diminishing production, but he missed half the year with injuries.

Also, Collins is from Utah. Will he be resenting the trade away from friends and family? Unknown.

Thought #3: Never assume the general from the specific. For all I know, FL may have had enough surgeries that he was part android these past few decades.

Noise about LA amiable to trading LeBron is getting louder. Mavs, Cavs, Clips & dubs have all been rumored to testing the waters.

Oh, please let the Clippers get him! LeBron and Load-Management and Cancer on the same team sounds like the setup for a face-plant of epic proportions!

Please, not the Cavs. Thanks for the championship, but I want to see team basketball, not one guy dominating his teammates, coaches, owner, etc. LeBron is a great player, but an incurable drama queen.

Creaky McCreak…but Paul is a clubhouse positive, still useful on the court and now they don't have to play Load-Management in the back-court. Get decent seasons out Beal and Paul to go with Cancer, Bogdan and Dunn, and you're okay in the back.

Not sure what the point of Brook Lopez is, though. There had to better, younger options
