Orlando is playing in Charlotte today which is why Paolo and Wendell were able to attend the game last night at Cameron. It was great of them to show their support and it looked like they had fun sitting in the student section!
Mark Williams and Mason Plumlee were at the game too! So Charlotte was represented as well as Orlando.
I saw an article last night that had interviewed Paolo postgame. He said, paraphrasing, that he had come to see Jeremy get it done, and that the win over Carolina in Cameron had given him “closure”. It’s fun to see him and Mark supporting their former teammate.
Paolo is really an entertaining interview - for those who haven’t listened to him on JJ’s podcast in December, I highly recommend.
Haha. No, but Cole Anthony, Drake Maye, and Sam Howell were there, apparently, behind their bench!
According to GoDuke, I think there were 19 former Duke players at the game last night. Many were older; only the younger fellas - Paolo, Mark, Wendell, Mason, and Bates Jones - were pictured in the locker room with the team after the game.
Also, isn’t it crazy to think that Mason played with both Jon Scheyer as a freshman, and Amile Jefferson as a senior.
Kyrie traded to Dallas
Nets got a reasonably good return - better than having to take on Westbrook.
Agreed - fellow Knicks fan but I am not anti-Nets. Good riddance. No need for all the drama. I liked Dinwiddie in his last stint with the Nets.
I assume both Kyrie and Luka were both asked whether they were OK with this before the trade was made. Mavs don't want to upset their franchise guy, and they don't want Kyrie if he doesn't want to be there. I'm also curious what Durant thinks.
Whoever traded for him would be smart to let the rest of the season be a trial before extending him
