They also won the Paul George trade. I think the majority of teams in the league would choose Oladipo and Sabonis over George. Of course it wasn't that clear when the deal was made but it still looked like they were getting about 85 cents on the dollar.

I missed what happened to Aaron Gordon. I'm glad he is okay.

Sounds like Gordon's injury was related to a hard foul by Lowry.
From Tim MacMahon ESPN Staff Writer:
The injury occurred after a hard foul by Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry prevented a dunk and caused Gordon's left leg to extend high as he was falling. After a review, Lowry's foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1. Gordon and Lowry exchanged words during the review.

I thought his career was coming to a close a couple of years back and he is playing almost as good as ever at 34.

Not me. I actually dislike him slightly less today than I used to. He's been a problem off and on the court going back to at least his college days at Villanova but he's been less of a problem the past 5 years or so. He goes all out on the court and while still not a real leader, he's no longer letting his temper out on teammates, refs and opponents at every turn. But I haven't watched the Gordon hit so maybe he'll go back near the top of my disliked list.

I glanced at it earlier. The foul didn't look like anything major but Gordon was in the air.
This link has it.

Yeah, he's aggressive and physical, much like Chris Paul and, much like Chris Paul, I dislike watching him play. But he used to be even worse, you could argue he used to be MUCH worse.

And we get to see two of them (Booker and Warren) in today's match-up.

Reportedly Jonathan Isaac has surgery to repair injury.

Michael Porter Jr. is lighting it up. Wonder if he will be able to stay healthy through his career.

It would be nice if the Suns could ever get in position to wait on players to develop like the Nuggets.

KD lite on offense but he’s got back issues that can flare up any time.

Suns play the 76ers on Tuesday. Never good to see a player lost this way.

Better off silent
Our game and the Clippers/Portland game are the only relevant games today. And the Clippers did what they were supposed to. It's up to us now.

MJ Warren with a dagger in Lebron’s mug. Another 40 burger.
Finalists for all individual NBA Awards have been named. No real surprises.
I'll go Giannis MVP, Ja for ROY, Giannis for DPOY, Shroeder for 6th Man, and Bam for Most Improved.
I think Luka will win Most Improved but he shouldn't. He's in his 2nd season and young players should improve. He was a great rookie and even better sophomore but I think a leap like he made wasn't out of the question based on those who watched him last year. Meanwhile Bam became an All-Star with the Heat, which I don't think anyone envisioned. He's a huge part of the Heat's future and proves Pat Riley is still a genius.
