Pro Hoops Deacs - Jaylen Hoard on preliminary Team Olympic roster; Hamby has double-double in Sparks season opener

If the WNBA doesn’t have a way to help teams manage their rosters through pregnancies then you people need to stop giving 2&2 a hard time.

It does? Teams can use hardship exception or rostered replacements. Something tells me 2&2 isn’t doing full paid leave, childcare and housing stipends either. Yuk yuk biff.
 
Hamby is playing right now in the Sparks season opener against Britney Griner and the Mercury only two months after giving birth. She has 3 pts, 2 reb, and 1 ast in 11 minutes about midway through the 4th.
 
Bobi at #36 to the Magic in the BR post-combine mock.

 
Hamby started tonight in her first game against the Aces. The Sparks play in Vegas on Saturday night. She has 7 and 3 late in the 2Q.
 
Hamby got her ring at the Aces ring night to a standing ovation.

She started in a Sparks blowout loss which was also Hammon’s first game back from the suspension based on the investigation of the Hamby trade.

Hamby joins Aces' ring night as Hammon returns

Former Aces player Dearica Hamby received her 2022 title ring along with the rest of the Las Vegas team on Saturday, with Aces star A'ja Wilson calling it "a great moment for us to share with her."

Good idea to say he patterns his game after CP3 (Wake), Smart (defense), and Alvarado (undersized undrafted PG teams are kicking themselves for not drafting).
 
Suns plan to waive CP3.
 
I really think CP3 will end up with Lebron and the Lakers. IF the Lakers want Lebron to stick around after this upcoming season, signing CP3 to a 3 year deal might be the way to do it.

He is too expensive and is injured a lot, especially late. I wonder where he will land…LAL?

Probably back in Phoenix - As long as he checks his ego at the door and takes vet min.

I can’t see him going back to Pho for the Vet min, but they still are a strong team.

This will be a fascinating negotiation to watch over the next 2-3 weeks. Suns can’t keep CP if they stretch the $15.8M guaranteed. I think the most likely scenario is the Suns pay CP the $15.8M guaranteed, waive CP, and then resign him to the vet min (~$2.8M/yr). My theory is I think this is what Suns want to do but CP isn’t happy with this so he had Chris Hayes tweet that he was waived as a power play. That’s kind of lame of CP but Suns floated him in a Brooklyn trade with Kyrie so there’s definitely bad blood. CP is a master negotiator and he knows Suns can’t land Kyrie or any other star guard for $12M/yr mid level exception. “Waive me and start Cam Payne? LOL have fun with that guys. Rockets and Spurs will pay me. Monty will pay me with the Pistons.”

I think CP calms down and decides to resign to the vet min with the Suns - That is what I am rooting for, anyway. He already checked the ‘help a rebuilding team’ box - He only has one more box to check.

Ish Smith on verge of 1st NBA championship with record 13th team

No NBA player has played for more teams than Smith, who has earned respect in Denver's locker room for his selflessness.
www.nba.com www.nba.com

Over his career, Smith’s filled every kind of role (he started 50 games in Philly in 2015-16 when he averaged a career-best 14.7 points) and worn 10 different uniform numbers. His favorite is No. 14, which is his current number.


Somewhere, Smith has his vast collection of past jerseys. They’re probably at his mom’s house, he believes, for safe keeping — considering all the moves he’s made.


Someday, he’ll round them up. But not to be framed and placed on a wall.


“That just feels narcissistic, like me celebrating me,” Smith said.



Nikola Jokic has a strong case as the most unique big man in NBA history.

Instead, his plan is to celebrate others in the form of themed walls around his home. On one wall, uniforms worn by players who’ve hailed from the state of North Carolina, an homage to his Charlotte roots.


Another wall will be dedicated to veteran players he’s crossed paths with (such as Jordan and Green in Denver). A third wall will feature a tribute to Wake Forest royalty (think: Muggsy Bogues, Chris Paul, Tim Duncan).


Lastly, a championship wall, which he’s hoping includes everyone from this Nuggets roster.


“It’s been fun. I can’t even lie to you. You usually don’t say that when you’re not playing and you’re in a leadership role,” Smith said. “It’s truly been fun.”

I always assumed 10 was his favorite. 14.7pts / 7asts in Philly is great.
 
I figured 69 was his favorite but the NBA wouldn't let him wear it.
