Val was so dominant against the pistons. Duren is going to be a great piece for the pistons, but Val just dominated the game. He was so good, played physical, took elbows to the face, and kept on at it.

Really do love watching CJ and Val work. Val in particular is such an interesting player. Against many teams he is one of the best players on the court. But there are just a few matchups that render him almost unplayable.

His 3 pt shot though looks pure and will extend his career.

JV is a floor raiser but a ceiling limiter. So many people want to upgrade him but for a variety of reasons that's just not feasible. They need to find an addition to the center committee when you run into those matchups where he flips from positive to negative.

JV is a great player to have in the regular season, but will end up unplayable in the postseason. I don’t see a need to upgrade him because we are not going to find a player of his caliber at his price that will have the impact for us that he does. I still think he gets a team friendly extension at around 12-13 million for a year or two

That opens up a whole arse pandora’s box where if you injure yourself further the team could cancel your contract and everything.

Saying you don’t like the minute restrictions or the coach is completely differently.
Pretty certain he's medically cleared to play.

He was questionable and basically a game time decision after going through shoot around. That means he's cleared to play.

I saw Z in preseason and thought he looked strong and in shape. What the hell happened. Was there a month long special at Popeyes?

That post and the ones he was replying to was talking about Zion last season and saying if he really wanted to he could’ve came back and played.

Could be mistaken though
