Chris Finch was not able to discuss Monte Morris pregame because the trade has not yet been finalized (we’ll hear from him on the trade postgame).
Closest Morris-y type question I could think to ask was what would it mean overall for this team offensively (currently ranks 17th)… – 6:46 PM

West Tier 1:
Nuggets and Clippers
West Tier 2:
Thunder, Suns, Timberwolves
Those are the five title contenders in the West imo.
Mavericks are the “can win any single series but don’t think they can win three” team.
I don’t consider the Lakers or Warriors contenders. – 3:20 PM

Confirming report from @Woj, Sacramento Kings have acquired Robin Lopez and cash consideration from the Bucks. Kings used their open 15th roster spot to absorb Lopez’s contract. Sounds like Lopez will be bought out by Sacramento. – 3:15 PM

Boston addressed its needs: Depth. Xavier Tillman fits right into the frontcourt rotation and is another body to throw at Giannis. Jaden Springer is a wing defender. Neither will help offensively (Springer shooting 21.6% from three) but firepower is not a Celtics problem. – 3:08 PM

Jordan McLaughlin added to the Wolves injury report with a right hip pointer. He’s questionable to play tonight in Milwaukee.
With Monte Morris not yet with the team and Shake Milton no longer on the team, I’d assume the Wolves just don’t play a backup PG tonight if JMac can’t… – 3:07 PM

Ownership has left this all on AK unless a big money deal is coming in or out and needs approval. Not happening. Other members of the front office can have different opinions than AK, but he has final say. This is an AK mix tape … the blame starts there in 13 min. – 2:48 PM

As awesome a personality as Pat Bev is and as much as he surprised on his contract, I think the Sixers are largely the same team anyway if Kyle Lowry comes on a buyout, and now you’ve added a future draft asset, too:

PatBev isn’t going to put the Bucks over the top obviously, but a) he’s a known quantity to Doc and b) flipping your backup PG from offense-first to defense-first is a net positive given the Bucks’ perimeter defensive issues. Now can they get a wing defender who can start/close? – 2:08 PM
