    SGA is like a better KPJ, ball dominant and shoot first PG...not much of a playmaker.

    These just shouldn't even happen. Just like ESPN interviewing these kids 30 seconds after they walk the draft stage. It's a bad idea. It's worthless. It shouldn't happen.

    Yeah, I caught that. Seems things aren't as good as Caserio/Ryans. Stone was probably used to pushing Silas around and Ime didn't play.

    FA is going to be interesting.

    He said he liked watching him, not that he would emulate him.

    They were both wearing the same heel height shoes

    I haven't had a favorite player in a long while. Amen is now my favorite player.

    Might as well trade him. Fire up the trade machine @Os Trigonum

    Comparing the passing if SAG and KPJ makes SAG look like Magic Johnson.

    Probably Ime wants KPJ gone, and Stone wants to keep his pet project going?

    I hope Ime puts Stone into his place.

    Ime said he was going to bench Green for KPJ and Stone didn’t like it

    Or Stone and Tilman were going to bring back Harden and Ime said the **** you are

    Noticed that too. Also noticed how Stone quickly directed the “minutes” question back to Ime (Ime was caught off guard) they’ll definitely be some feeling each other out until this team starts winning games. No bully ball for Stone - this ain’t Silas.

    Ime has proven he knows what he’s doing - his coaching got his team to a finals. Stone, while he’s brought in some good talent thus far, hasn’t really proven anything yet (that’s partly been due to coaching) so we’ll see how this plays out.

    Definitely see a KPJ narrative or Harden narrative being a point of contention.

    I liked them both. Quite contrasting styles, but Whitmore quite well-spoken himself as well. Thinking back to when I was 18, I don't think I would have been as confident as Cam was here. He looks like a grown man for sure.

    I'm not getting the "comatose" vibe from Whitmore. He seems totally fine, just a bit reserved.

    So anyone notice Amen was holding up Jabari's number on his jersey?? I guess Jabari is moving to #10 now that Gordon is gone.
