Kenrich Williams, Mike Muscala and Ty Jerome are three of the Thunders best shooters and best overall players.
They should be rewarded with a night off tomorrow vs the Kings. Maybe even let em clock out early tonight. – 11:52 PM

There aren’t a lot of immediate silver linings for the Blazers trade today, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Keon Johnson turns into a pretty good player. Portland historically does a good job developing guards. Johnson gives them a cost control prospect to work with for a few years. – 7:04 PM

I think the Blazers trade extended Damian Lillard’s rehab a few months. Dame a couple weeks ago:

Also will say on the Blazers deal: not sure it says anything about the team rebuilding. Think moving Powell/Covington is more about two things.
1. Simons’ emergence forced their hand a bit to move one of CJ/Powell to open up PT.
2. Covington is on an expiring deal, anyway. – 6:08 PM

Another aspect to moving Powell is that Nassir Little should be starting at the 3 just to get more size on the court. Depending on other moves, Dame, CJ, Nas would the starting PG/G/SF trio with Ant getting 30 minutes off the bench. However, future moves could alter that. – 6:08 PM

Here’s how you know the Clippers did well today. If we played the old “who says no” game to today’s trade, the Blazers would be saying no. They gave up two first for Covington and a stud in Gary Trent for Powell. Getting cap fodder and a 2025 2nd for those two is a failure – 5:41 PM

On newcomer Reggie Perry, coach Rick Carlisle said “He’s a good-looking prospect … with quite the resume.” Perry arrived from Toronto last night. – 5:27 PM

About to get into the lab, but while Norman Powell’s shooting is a highlight of what Clippers are acquiring, some of you have seen my matchup cards all season and noticed one big issue with LAC offense:
FREE THROWS.
Powell averaged 5.0 attempts per game, my threshold for a star – 4:53 PM

Folks: You cannot bash this trade based on the two firsts dealt for Covington (2020, 2021) while IGNORING that Portland got back Keon Johnson, the 21st pick in 2021. The 2021 pick dealt was No. 23. Stop. You’re being disingenuous. – 4:15 PM

Blazers/Clips deal a good deal for Portland. Clears more playing time for Simons (who is really good) and starts to clean up the books. Blazers will likely continue to sink in the standings — which is probably exactly what they want. – 4:07 PM
