He’s really good but I think he had an injury teams didn’t like
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 20 December 2020 04:33 (three years ago) link
i think in lots of mock drafts ppl had the suns taking him but the suns did the suns thing and made a crazy draft pick so then the spurs got him

devo had no major injury history that im aware of, tho he did have a pre-draft video of him shooting with weird mechanics. with derrick white and keldon johnson injured he has been the spurs' best player in the preseason. he's going to be a steals machine.

and also he can shoot from multiple spots on the floor, that helps a lot

Rudy Gobert has agreed to a 5-year, $205M extension with the Jazz, he told ESPN. It’s the biggest contract ever for a big man. Gobert: “It means they believe in me. They believe in what we’ve been building over the years with this whole organization.” https://t.co/hPJwYMdSS5— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) December 20, 2020

If bubble Donovan mitchell is Donovan mitchell 2021 then I’d say they have a pretty bright future! Conley thing didn’t work tho.

Kawhi Leonard, referencing his own potential free agency, said he's "just focused on this season." Added that: "If I stay healthy, the best decision is to decline the player option but it doesn't mean I'm staying or leaving."— Andrew Greif (@AndrewGreif) December 21, 2020

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract extension, his agents Aaron Mintz and Dave Spahn of @caa_sports tell ESPN.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 21, 2020

well that contract isn't going to kill anybody. given that there was a time when it looked like his earnings potential was nonexistent, i'm happy for him.

broken link :( "Toronto Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby has agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension"

Remarkable rise for Anunoby, who arrived at Indiana for Tom Crean as the 294th ranked high school senior and entered the draft with Wilkes with a torn ACL on the way to the Raptors selecting him 23rd overall in 2017.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 21, 2020

Good for Fultz and Isaac getting those contracts. One is hurt, one was written off by a lot of people. Could actually be really nice value for the Magic as well— Josh Lloyd (@redrock_bball) December 21, 2020

My big issue with Kennard is that he seems like the kind of guy who will fall out of the league with one injury. Rooting for him tho, he’s one of the biggest overachievers in the league
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 00:21 (three years ago) link
It seems most charitable to interpret the statement "could actually be really nice value for the Magic as well" as incorporating its logical extension "or it could be a big mistake, who knows? Not me!"

isaac's an incredible defender but he has missed 100 games in the last 3 years and will miss the next 72.
― trans-panda express (m bison), Tuesday, 22 December 2020 00:27 (three years ago) link
so uhhhhhh missing half your possible games for the first 4 years of your playing career doesnt bode well.
Unclear to me that Isaac ever plays a full season again

lol he was a 5 star recruit who went to duke and was a lottery pick. the most you could say about him is that he has achieved. and that might be generous

wow owned
― trans-panda express (m bison), Tuesday, 22 December 2020 05:21 (three years ago) link
He’s one of the most unathletic guys in the league. Yes he was a top 25 recruit in 2015, but that happens a lot to shooters who can’t really play in the NBA
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 15:07 (three years ago) link
i mean... i guess. there’s dozens on dozens of players who have overachieved more than a guy with that pedigree
