@hmfaigen still think the clippers won the trade

[Sopan Deb @SopanDeb]

Paul George plus the Clippers pick for Nikola Jokic. Let's get this over with. We know it's coming.

@hmfaigen @shre98 alright let’s not go that far

Personal news: today’s my first day at @sltrib.

I’ll be covering the Utah Jazz for the Salt Lake Tribune.

I’ve dreamed of covering the NBA for years, so today’s pretty special.

Let’s get to work.

@BenjySarlin I think any player in 2026 who can't shoot, pass or dribble is extremely limited, esp. given how injury prone he is. He is an elite rebounder and can make wide open dunks. I just don't think he's as much of a difference maker as Cs fans are talking themselves into.

Tatum this year when the Cs are fighting for a play-in spot:

Jaylen Brown says Jayson Tatum is the funniest teammate he’s played with

[Sopan Deb @SopanDeb]

@BenjySarlin Mitch has had injury problems his whole career. But even when he's healthy, he's extremely limited and can easily be played off the floor. I don't the Knicks brass was sad to see him go and the second apron served as a convenient excuse.

[Sopan Deb @SopanDeb]

@BenjySarlin @BharatRamamurti Sigh. I'm becoming a cranky sports radio caller type as I rapidly traverse middle age.

[Sopan Deb @SopanDeb]

@BharatRamamurti That seems to be the consensus. I would just note that Pritchard started first half of last year and he wasn't great. Once he moved to the bench, he became more effective. Not everyone can be Brunson!

[Sopan Deb @SopanDeb]

@BharatRamamurti 7. And finally, the Cs have one consistent elite rim attacker. And that guy is coming off an Achilles tear. Just not sure how much you can expect out of him over 82 games. It's a huge burden and a lot of wear and tear.

[Sopan Deb @SopanDeb]

@BharatRamamurti 4. I'm not convinced that White's slippage as he turns 33 is slippage.
5. Baylor is 26 next month. I'm not sure how much more growth you're seeing from him. But agreed on optimism with him and Hugo.
6. Jordan Walsh remains a mostly useless offensive player.

@WillOremus I’m struck by why Gigot clarified that opinion staffers must draft their own pieces, but outside contributors don’t. Why? If by his own telling, AI is a fact of life and there’s no point policing it?
