Basketball.
He's going to be severely flawed in a bunch of ways but also intensely fun if he gets real minutes. There are going to be people who declare him a bust outright cause he's gonna shoot awfully from the floor for a 'big' and he'll probably have some really ugly team defense clips, but those people are kinda missing the point on him.
It's just so irritating that every time someone says something about potentially trading Lonzo recently, someone brings up that SVG has said nice things about him or that Ingram is his friend, as if anyone who suggested trading him is going to turn around like ''oh okay then, as long as Ingram likes playing Xbox with him I guess he's owed a contract'' or something. ''Well you know, SVG said some nice things about him in an interview so we're honour-bound to sign him for life'', like come on.
SVG has been pretty clear that Griff and Langdon run the personnel. He's just here to coach.
Yeah fair call
As long as we're building a sustainable winning future/culture here, I don't give a damn who we trade.
This is true, he has said this on at least 3 different occasions now I think. In fact, on the night Kira got drafted he was asked about his input on drafting/free agency and he basically said that while Griff has asked his opinions on a few things and he's given them, that's the extent of his involvement and that he is leaving all of those actual decisions up to Griff.

Argentinian guard Facundo Campazzo is indeed headed to Denver, HoopsHype has learned.
— HoopsHype (@hoopshype) November 20, 2020
The Real Madrid star, who's signing a two-year deal, will become the shortest NBA player ever with no college basketball experience.
This is surprising but very fun. Campazzo is a Euro guard who is 5'11 but is extremely fun, has some good PnR game, can shoot a bit. Interesting
To re-up some earlier Tweets: Fred VanVleet will meet with Raptors and 1 or 2 other suitors Saturday in Chicago; Toronto has not reached out to Tristan Thompson — a sign they are confident of keeping Ibaka, I would think. Also sense is OG Anunoby is likely to be extended.

Shortest NBA player with no college experience with the name Campazzo who is FUN
Strong indications that the Nets will be securing commitment from the sharpshooting Joe Harris despite considerable external interest

Yes, he has a beard also, for additional trivia.
The Meyers Leonard two-year deal with Miami is worth nearly $20M, @caa_sports agents Aaron Mintz and Dave Spahn tell ESPN.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) November 20, 2020
If they're paying Meyers Leonard almost $10m a year, you gotta think they're planning to use this as trade bait later
This information is far from trivial
#Pacers-#Celtics sign-and-trade update. Hayward wants to play in Indiana. He's told the #Celtics that.

This isn't an easy free agent market for centers, but here's a former All-Star getting some early attention tonight, per sources: DeMarcus Cousins.
