Everyone would love Giannis even more if he took on that kind of personality out loud instead of trying to be a Disney prince character.

You could convincingly argue that this is the worst rotation to ever be used in a modern NBA game:
Starters
Frank Jackson
Saddiq Bey
Hamidou Diallo
Luka Garza
Derrick Walton
Bench
Cheick Diallo
Deividas Sirvydas
Cassius Stanley
Jamario Pickett
How far away from the NBA is DJ Steward if he can’t crack a roster during Omicron times?

I missed that Cassius got a hardship contract. I figured Giles and Cook would be guys that get some consideration, but I haven't seen anything about them either.

Quinn is playing overseas - maybe not worth breaking his euro contract for a short term NBA deal

Next stage of small ball is finally here. A coach realized LeBron is an ideal center, like Harden, Paul George and Banchero.

Is Gary Trent Jr finally going to have a chance to show off his post skillz?

I was thinking about this earlier today. LeBron is basically Draymond on steroids when it comes to small ball centers. If he were coming out of college or high school today, would he be drafted as a PF/C or would he still be a SF? I'm thinking he'd be playing PF/C full time.

Yeah, I don't see what you lose by playing LeBron at center. He rebounds and protects the rim plenty well. And you gain all sorts of advantages in mismatches and spacing. It also will mitigate his slower speed as he ages.
If he weren't on a team with AD, he'd probably be playing center full time already.

No, it means that they were all more like +32ish to make up for the starters and then get a 9 point margin beyond that

The Ricky Rubio ACL tear bums me out. I was happy for the Cavs to have finally turned the corner. Maybe they can maintain. It's not like Rubio was some mega-efficient offensive player. But they're losing a guy who plays solid defense, can get you into your offense, and is a vet culture setter.
On the other hand, the other Eastern Conference feel-good story, the Bulls, seems to be powering through every setback they've had.

Brown hasn't gotten as much blame for being a gross chucker as Tatum has. It's mostly because he's been (slightly) more efficient as a shooter. But he's averaging even fewer assists.
I wonder if they could add Tyus somehow? Barring that, Tre? I feel like getting anyone who's pass first and can run an offense would help.

Absolutely. There are a number of issues with the Celtics, but a facilitator is a pressing need.
