I don't understand why people think free throws are the worst thing ever at the end of games. It's a guy going to make a shot to make or win a game! Sure, he probably makes it more than he misses as an average NBA player but it's still a wildly stressful situation.

Man. If his daughter survives, she will literally be one of the most premature babies to do so in medical history.

I am extremely curious about this fit, though. Cousins is not a great rim protector nor can he really guard the perimeter so Davis is still going to have to do the lion's share of the defensive work. On the other end, sure, they both shoot threes (at an okay-ish clip) but I still think this clogs up the lane quite a bit. Obviously the talent will supersede a lot of this, but it's gonna be fun to watch.

Jota posted:So the Kings obviously have no chance of catching Brooklyn, but they are currently 6 games ahead of Phoenix, who has the second worst record in the league. And they are 5.5 games better than the Lakers. Anyone think those teams won't end the season with a better record than the Kings? It's pick swapped with Philly anyway, so they're out of the top 3 regardless.

JV is super low upside and a known quantity and they have no picks that could even approach the teens/lottery. Norman Powell/Poeltl/Wright would probably all have to be included and that guts your depth.

The Raptors would not do that deal. Sure, the Raptors have rebounding issues but Drummond still sucks on defense and Valanciunas is merely "meh" and is much better offensively.

Oh, I just meant run the clock out strategically more than a couple of seconds before picking it up, like roll it at an almost zero-speed rather than rolling it quickly across the floor to get a few extra seconds in tight situations.
