I'm officially on the Point Justise bandwagon. If dude can just get his shot down and more consistently score in the double digits, I'm feeling good. Also helps that now with Jimmy Butler here and Herro showing signs of being an offensive beast, there's not this pressure for him to produce as much offensive wise. Miami (outside of Dragic) more than anyone is position-less. You could list whomever as the PG, but Butler can guard 1-3 and probably gets the most assists on the team. Justise is far from a true PG but looked fine there last year at times. And he can guard 1-3 as well. Herro looks good and is going to get minutes and is more of a true SG. You could swap Justise and Butler around any type of way as listed SF, PG, or SG if Herro does start out on the bench like in pre-season. Doesn't really matter. Winslow probably never gets there offensively, but is a D specialist and a swiss army knife so barring Jones breaking out, his spot in the starting 5 is safe.

If Boston aren’t willing to give Brown that contact they could consider moving him. The Kings would consider giving up a protected pick and Hield to make that happen if they are willing to give Brown that contract Boston wouldn’t lose anything trading Brown. You get a shooter and still have the defensive prowess of Smart to lean on. Ainge would look to get something as opposed to losing Brown for nothing or being forced to match an overpay. Tho that’s just me spitballing, I don’t personally see a deal done I think Hield starts on Boston (and pretty much any team he would go to). Smart's role has been the 6th man, and also who runs the 2nd team offense Hield or Edwards? The answer would be neither. It's like Cleveland with Sexton and Garland. They're both shooters and far from ideal running the 2nd team offense through. Smart is more important in that role since Rozier is gone now. Without question, Hield starts. Smart may get the burn in the last 2 mins of a game for defensive purposes, but let's not kid ourselves in saying Boston will be built on defense this year. That defense is going to be rough this year with Kanter getting killed off pick and roles Celtics are going to have to lean on Smart hard this year and Kemba may end up playing some of the most mins in the league. Going be interesting to see what happens with Boston because they are not some complete team without flaws

Zion is definitely going to have to lose some weight if he's going to have a long lasting career. For as quick as he moves, he is way to heavy for his frame and this is only going to continue if he doesn't do some serious conditioning to his body.

For as quick as he moves, he is way to heavy for his frame and this is only going to continue if he doesn't do some serious conditioning to his body. The biggest concern for him was the fact the wear and tear all these dunks would have on his knees. If he losses the athleticism, what type of player is he? NO wants him to develop as a player before that question ever becomes a problem He's going to have to slim up while maintaining the power. LeBron is a freak of nature and Zion may be as well but LBJ by drinking GODs tears has lost his insane athleticism due to age and not injury but even then he still gets up Blake Griffin may be the best guy to talk too. He has had his own injuries but had maintained that athletic prowess for a very long time. He doesn't dunk on people like he used to because he doesn't have to and it is saving his body

Giles absence will continue into the regular season. Somethings messed up and the Kings are being very vague about it.

Guessing that Zion's spot on the team will be temporary filled by one of the oldest rookies in the league?

Was not expecting Kendrick Nunn to go off the way he did. It'd be something if him and Herro can continue this momentum going into the regular season because suddenly the Heat has more depth in shooting. Man I know Pre-season is a small sample size, but given how underutilized Westbrook has been through Houston's game, this is starting to feel like it's going to be repeat of last season for them.

Houston is being too cute with this Westbrook/Harden tandem No way they going to get chemistry and this is the one tandem that a lot of people expect to implode

That's a lot of money for Siakam. I have a feeling they will regret this.

That's a lot of money for Siakim. I have a feeling they will regret this. He had a breakout year and they kinda had to pay him as a way to show their fans they are committed for the future They gave Lowry a year extension I didn't agree with but that's only for one year and can increase his value in a trade
