'Savvy' is probably not the right word, but he does have a gift for it, an ability to talk in front of the camera and engage with the reporter in a conversational way.

It's not an easy thing to do for unexperienced people, and even your media-trained NBA players tend to just give dry, canned responses in this type of situation.

At age 22 he already seems like one of the more PR savvy players in the league.

Something you can try is taking your two most traveled destinations and choosing a team which is the least out of your way when traveling between those two places. However, you should also consider other factors as well, such as the quality of the roads, usual traffic, available rest stops etc.

That's typically how I route for an NBA team.

Only a team that could get him to completely re-evaluate his attitude and current approach to the game. You know, somehow get him to be a better teammate and stop playing basketball like a total dickhead.

Problem is, to him he's got that 'fuck you' money and doesn't really seem to care much about winning games anymore.

As a fan, I think the team will bounce back from our current doldrums but ultimately injuries will keep us from getting further in the playoffs than last year.

Overall I'd say the team is in decline, and we're probably due for a huge rebuild in 3-4 years.

The most I know about them is Reggie Miller and they took Lebron's Cavs to 7. Oh, and Myles Turner always seems to be in trade talks but never moves.

I don't think Jokic's passing has ever been about 'flash', not ever a little bit. It's about manipulating the defense so that if the pass is completed it generates an easy bucket for his teammates.

Because maybe it turns out Wemby is so good right away that somebody gets the idea that they should try to win it all year 1. I think that would be a big mistake, but it's also not the craziest thing I've heard.
