Looks like a bunch of people including myself may eat crow on Memphis being title contenders.

Minnesota's coach sat on his hands while Memphis went on a 21-0 run. I have no idea why he waited so long to call a TO
Hornets fired James Borrego. Makes you wonder if anyone on our staff could be a coaching candidate?

Draft and stash Kai Sotto with 52nd pick... he's going to be a marketing gem and nola gets 100mil filipinos cheering for the pels.
If the Pels don't absolutely love someone at #8 (assuming they don't move up in the lottery drawing), I'm thinking this might be a year to trade the pick. They'll have 3 second year guys next year plus Zion coming back. What if a team was willing to trade a later pick plus a future first (or maybe more) for this #8? Then the Pels pick a toolsy guy like Jake LaRavia, and gather more assets for the future. I like LaRavia as a sleeper pick because he has 3 years of college experience but is still only 20-- the best of both worlds. And he's a Franz Wagner-like glue guy/advanced stats darling.
Here's our offensive facilitator and defensive specialist....

I'd even throw in the '22 Laker first (Top 4 Protected)
Can you imagine Herb and him running next to each other against any other guard duo in the league?
Worth noting that Ben Simmons is on an average of $35m a year for the next 3 years, just sat out a whole year, and hadn't played more than 60 games for the two seasons leading into it. He also can't run offense in the halfcourt whatsoever.
Basketball.
It will be interesting to see what they're going to do with Zion. Is all of the talk about Zion coming back a smokescreen to keep other teams from fleecing you when you trade him?
I don't think so.
The whole goal of an NBA franchise is to find a mega-star. A healthy Zion is a megastar. If we can possibly keep Zion with any reasonable expectation of him sticking with the team and being healthy, we absolutely will. He will get offered the max extension, in my view, and I think he'll take it, and he will be on the roster next season. Hopefully he'll be on the roster and actually playing.
