If you want to be great, this is the price “My off seasons were harder than the season” Pro’s work so incredibly hard at their craft (Via @QRich 🎥)
I think Brown likes how he commands the offense, I'm not sure what the lineups will look like if McBride comes off the bench... If anything this news makes me believe that McBride can be starting
Tyler Kolek is expected to receive more playing time next season. According to a Knicks scout, NY is comfortable playing Kolek more this year. "Tyler (Kolek) got some run last year and we’re comfortable with playing him more this year." SOURCE: .@KeithSmithNBA…
A lot of people disagree with this but I see what he means and I don't blame him I think a lot of teams could use Kuminga as a starter, the skillset is there as a modern forward + he's a young player Teams have had worse forwards start for them with championship aspirations
Jonathan Kuminga is not interested in being a secondary option, per @anthonyVslater “Beyond the contract demands, Kuminga is in search of a more guaranteed, consistent starting role and featured opportunity, sources said. That's something both the Suns and Kings have pitched.…
