Poole Party at MSG!

By on



        When Jordan Poole got traded to Washington there was an early indication that his offense was going to look better with the more touches he is going to get there compared to when he was in Golden State. In Washington, Jordan Poole is going to be a massive piece to the franchise so his game has a great opportunity to grow especially on the offensive end. Some may even say Poole has an opportunity to rise and be an All-Star level player. This new Washington Wizards team looks like it can rise in the future but even now this team may be the team to shock the league this upcoming season.



        Jordan Poole has shown flashes of his offense during his time in Golden State and we just got another big flash. We are still in the middle of preseason and the Washington Wizards went up against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden. Poole had himself an explosive game going for 41 points. Poole went 10 for 19 from the field (53%), 6 of 12 from 3 (50%), 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. With a new team and a bigger role, Poole is going to have more explosive offensive games this upcoming season. 



        Wizards big man, Mike Muscala, also had a good game in New York. Muscala spent this past season with the Boston Celtics but did not see much playing time. Muscala being traded to Washington was in the mix of Kristaps Porzingis going to Boston and Marcus Smart going to Memphis. Muscala provides great veteran leadership to this young Wizards squad. Up in New York, Muscala went for 20 points, shooting 7 of 10 from the field, 5 for 7 from 3 and 8 rebounds. He will definitely see more playing time on the Wizards compared to his time in Boston.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Free Agency!

          Kelly Oubre Jr. has been quite the journeyman in the NBA. In 2015, he was drafted by the Washington Wizards then after a few seasons would get traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a short stint in Phoenix, Oubre signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. Following a brief year in the Bay Area, he would spend a couple seasons with the Charlotte Hornets where he would have some of his best games. This season, Oubre finished a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and will hit the free agency market again this summer.            For a player on a veteran minimum, Oubre was a significant impactful player this season. He averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. His defense was nothing less than amazing and his athleticism played to his strength this year. Oubre will have multiple suitors this summer from championship-contending teams.            The Philadelphia 76ers...

          It is officially the end of an era for the Toronto Raptors. Pascal Siakam has been mentioned in trade rumors for most of the season. While Siakam's wish was to stay with the Raptors, the business of the NBA tends to interfere with wishes. It has been announced that Pascal Siakam has been traded to the Indiana Pacers.            Pascal Siakam was drafted by the Toronto Raptors in 2016 with the twenty-seventh overall pick. He was a huge piece in helping the Raptors win their first ever NBA championship in 2019 against the Golden State Warriors.

Knicks Big Man Search

By on

          The New York Knicks are coming off their first 50-win season in over a decade but after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency they need to look for another big. They only have two centers on the roster, Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims. Having Robinson go back into the starting lineup isn't much of an issue, besides some health concerns, but Sims as the backup is still a question. He has yet to be a consistent rotation player in his young career. Matter of fact, in his three seasons in the league he has only played in over 50 games once.            There aren't any free-agent centers that can be seen as reliable backups for the Knicks. The team still has seven of their own first-round picks that they could trade to find the big man they need. According to an X account, "BigKnicksEnergy," a league source reported that the Knicks are interested in Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and are willing to move ...
