I mean just go with Davey Duke and drop the Jr

I’d switch to my middle name.

Also what kind of a-hole parents gave this kid this first name?

One of the better indications of that was what happened when Kidd replaced Marbury for NJ.

1. Kidd was a HOF PG.
2. Marbury/Kidd wasn’t the only swap. They added Kittles & Jefferson, and Kmart was a rookie with Steph. If you look at the rosters of those two teams, it’s not even close.

I can’t believe I’m defending Stephon Marbury, but here we are.

Steph’s 2004-05 season seems pretty special on the surface, but he only averaged 19.5 pts and 7.3 assists per 36 on a TS% of .575. He also had no leadership ability and that team went 33-49 (it was a lousy team, so maybe he needed to shoot more than he did, his usage was under 25%.)

Marbury led the Beijing Ducks to 3 championships, and they had a winning record every year he was there. Clearly he had great leadership abilities!

Sacramento is a beautiful place. So, for that matter, are San Antonio, Indianapolis, and Oklahoma City.

Although with the way things are going New Orleans may be in the conversation thanks to the Lakers.

The French invented the buffet and I am sure VW loves his options

What did Victor Wembanyama ever do to you

I feel sorry for Kings fans. I never thought about how Victor would feel. I did have the thought that the Kings being the Kings they might even trade down in the draft or pick someone other than him and repeat their Doncic mistake but I pushed that thought aside.

took a nap this afternoon, like for a couple of hours…

I could do some work, but I won’t, did take my dragonknight for a stroll through cyrodiil…re-watching the charlotte game now…

a couple of folks have mentioned it already – julius and RJ aren’t complementary players, they’re duplicative…

point of the story, if I had to chose to keep just one of them, I’d hang on to julius…

he’s a passionate person (read: somewhat seemingly emotionally unstable, at times), his physical toolset though as it relates to basketball is phenomenal…

it far exceeds RJ’s…

the thing that maybe bugs me the most about julius is the cheapshots he takes at other players…

it looks weird for such a big guy to be so petty in the moment…I don’t know, best I not judge…

I am rooting for the Kings to win the VW sweepstakes.

***Jimmy Butler’s age-36 season: $52M***

Jimmy Butler is 33 and hasn’t begun to decline yet. In fact, I’m not sure he has even peaked. (His line from today vs GS is almost worth $52M alone)

I have to say that looking at standings and seeing the Kings tied with the Lakers at the bottom of the west with 0-4 records that I am rooting for the Kings to win the VW sweepstakes.

Fred VanVleet, Desmond Bane and Jalen Brunson fell into the same category in the draft. Worship of the False Gods of wingspan. height, athleticism, efficiency, etc. obscured the essential question: can he play basketball or not?
