Putting the mental in judgmental. You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

@fastbreakonomik Yep. This goes to my theory as to why Ayton is here; they know there's a decent chance AD isnt here long and we'll then need a legit backup C.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@fastbreakonomik It's really probably as simple as they're both natural centers in the current NBA

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@toplinebeagle I’m guessing he searched Chychryn’s name on IG, saw he still followed him from when they were teammates and then was like “yeah I’m good.”

[Ben @_BenBecker]

I love these guys and disagree a lot of this 😁

[Ser Troy Haliburton @TroyHalibur]

Why does putting together the pieces to the puzzle feel like a work in progress?

@andrewsharp joins me to talk AD, AJ Dybantsa, coach Keefe, the rebuild and what winning basketball should actually look like:

@joonlee A history of being callous to stars.....for the good of the franchise.

JB's anger seems to be directed at Tatum (and not other Celtics) for unknown reasons.

JB has definitely not bathed himself in glory with his post-trade conduct.

(I am not a Celtics fan).

@JonesOnTheNBA Cool, keep us updated.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@rmnb The way he hit the ice was terrifying.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@fastbreakonomik That's just a misalignment of expectations though. They certainly didn't say "we're a playoff team" or we're going to win 45 games or whatever. If they're playing like this in another 30 games, I'll have more concerns.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

So many people getting caught up in the record, the coach, the clunkiness of the current roster and you are missing The Main Point right in front of your eyes. The Wizards finally have that DUDE with a real chance to be a two-way superstar. He's 19.

[Greg Finberg @GregFinberg]

AJ Dybantsa on his defense:

"I've been telling coach I want to take that challenge. I want to guard the best player on the team. I got the wingspan for it. I got the size for it. I got the quickness for it. So it's just taking the challenge. I want to prove I'm a good defender.”

@Domo8186 And that is all that matters right now Dom!

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@Domo8186 It's really hard, man. Most people on here are dumb or obnoxious so it's very difficult to have an interesting exchange of ideas.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

So many Warrior fans in my replies. He’s averaging 3 PPG with a 40% TS and a 48% (!! ) turnover rate. Of that’s not a decline who would one describe it?

[exemplary non-bot @BotExemplary]

@_BenBecker Is the Draymond decline in the room with us?

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@GregFinberg This won't play well on twitter, but it's reality.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@JayNCtoDC what does that pay

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@TcasWizards We've got a Dude. Most important thing.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

The striking thing about this first half is the that Pistons are on the second night of a B2B and are playing much harder. It's a developed skill; they cut harder, contest harder, run the floor harder, etc.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

People have short memories. Detroit was down bad for 4 years.

[Ryan Oliver @RyanBOliver]

@_BenBecker Literally this. It's a learned skill. And it took them time to learn it. They have a real identity, and that's just playing hard and physical.

[Ben @_BenBecker]

@Domo8186 Because Bilal and JC are hurt, Middleton has been unplayable, Tre is completely lost…
