That moment when you realize you can mail it in next year... (or lose your job because tickets will sell themselves?)

FWIW, the NBA Combine numbers are out. There are always some interesting numbers.
Tacko Fall basically broke the measurements.

He measured at 7'5 1/2 without shoes. 7'7 with shoes.
8' 2 1/4 wingspan - next longest was Bol Bol at 7' 7.
He had the highest standing reach ever recorded - 10' 2 1/2.

FWIW, Nassir Little appears to be shorter than we thought. He measured 6'4 1/4 without shoes, 6'6 with shoes. He did have a 7' 1 1/4 wingspan which lead to an 8' 8 1/2 standing reach.
Talen Horton Tucker is one of the more uniquely built guys in basketball. He measured just 6'2 1/2 without shoes (6'4 with shoes) but had a wingspan of 7'1 1/4 (same as Little) so he had a strong 8' 7 standing reach. All of that packed with a 235 lb frame.

More from the combine. NCST signee Jalen Lecque did not participate in scrimmages on day 2, so he likely is happy with things and I expect him to stay in the draft. He tested really well in terms of athleticism. That will make Markell Johnson's decision very important - he has until May 29th to decide whether to stay in or go back to NCST for his SR year.

UGA big Nic Claxton sounds like he is doing well. I could see him staying in. I saw one Mock after the lottery that had him late in the first round.
He is UGA's only returning big man with experience.

kemba would fill a need for Lakers but i'm hoping they get Klay Thompson.
Need to take a piece away from warriors to have a chance.
Then adding AD or Kawaii would just be graavy
Good draw for Laker lottery. They should trade the 4 pick and Lebron for AD and the 1st pick.
AD/zion good at 4/5 with money left over for Thomson,Butler or Kemba at the two.
matches good with Ingram/Ball and leaves a deep bench

How is someone going to trade LeBron, unless it’s what he wants?
Why would LeBron go to New Orleans if Zion isn’t there?
Why would New Orleans do that trade?
