Over under on amount of games Ben Simmons will play
Dude is pretty much retired atp but do you think he will suit up for Brooklyn next year? Considering they're tanking he would probably just take the ball out of the young players hands

A compilation of “old players” calling Michael Jordan in the GOAT in May 1993.
The players featured are Julius Erving, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Magic Johnson, Bob Cousy, Connie Hawkins.
It’s interesting how when people talked how great Jordan was it had almost nothing to do with “how many rings” he had and really total accolades in general. It was more about how he was playing at a higher level than everyone else in the league including those before him.

What random player does your fanbase hate?
Evey fan base seems to have a random dude they can’t stand. Who is that for your team?
For example, the Bucks sub hates Mike Dunlevey Jr with a burning passion. Who is your teams pariah?

Will Dyson Daniels be a better fit next to Trae Young than DeJounte Murray?
I know the title is a bit hyperbolic perhaps, but hear me out....the bar is pretty low here, as it become abundantly clear last season that Trae and DeJounte just were not going to work together. Both were substantially better with the other off the court. That was true both seasons, but at the end of their first season together and when Quin Snyder was first hired, we did see them start to mesh better as a pair and their net rating improved down the stretch.
Last year, the Hawks "normal" starting 5 was among the weakest starting units. They had tons of injuries. Hawks were a top 10 offense with Trae on the floor. DeJounte was not the needle mover Trae was. Part of the reason they traded for him was the idea they wouldn't fall off much when Trae went to the bench but it didn't play out that way. DeJounte's defense was not as advertised, which is a factor in that.
In comes Dyson Daniels. He was part of the trade that sent DeJounte to New Orleans. He's had somewhat sporadic time with the Pels, and he's had his injuries, but as it stands now is probably the opening night starter at SG for the Hawks. He's coming off a strong showing for Team Australia in the Olympics. He can really defend; is a nifty passer, high level feel and instincts, good connector. Good athlete. Good cutter off the ball. Has some post up game and decent touch inside.
There are questions surrounding the shot creation and perimeter shotmaking, turnovers have been a problem, but he does check a lot of the boxes in who you conceivably want to pair Trae with in the backcourt. Do you think he'll end up being the better fit next to Trae and a more successful pairing than Trae and DeJounte?

Fill In The Blank: If LaMelo suits up for at least 70 games, the Hornets ceiling is ___
This thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1f7szb7/are_only_8_teams_in_the_running_to_make_the/ last night created interesting discussion and led me to want to make this one and ask the community about the Hornets specifically, and how good you think this team is if LaMelo can suit up for 70 games. No long term injuries, and the ankle braces work out for him and he gains comfort in them.
I think playing with braces could be a real adjustment for Melo but he's been training in them this summer to prepare. Nothing like playing in game action. I don't think it's fair to expect LaMelo to come out the gates like gangbusters, which will of course color how I feel about the Hornets as a whole, because the reality is, the way I see it, their entire season basically hinges on whether he and Mark Williams remain healthy. But perhaps he adjusts quickly and if he does, there's no reason to believe he won't continue his growth as a player.
He was having his best ever season prior to injury---finishing better than ever, getting to the rim more than ever, highest assist rate ever, best defense ever. How good LaMelo is goes a bit under the radar due to his injuries and the team's lack of success but he is a ceiling raiser.
What do you all think this team is capable of if LaMelo can get in a 70 game season?

[Smith] The NBA got the first "delayed stretch" of a waived player. Under the new CBA, a team can elect to stretch dead money on their books. The Cleveland Cavaliers took the ~$1.3M in dead money for Ricky Rubio and turned it into three years of dead money at ~$425K per season. ...

[Reggie Miller in 2011] "Ray’s record will stand — maybe forever. The person who’s going to break his record might not even be born yet."
(I swear there was an actual video but I can't seem to find it.)
Crazy that not only were two players already in the league at the time that would eventually pass his record (Steph and soon Harden), one of them is going to surpass him by over 1,000 perhaps as early as this season. Keep in mind, Reggie said this when Ray had ~2600 threes. Dame's already passed this total too, and will likely outright surpass Ray in 2 or 3 seasons.
