Oh, Petey. Is that a gun in your pocket or are just glad to see me?
SI open floor podcast with Kent Bazemore. This is a lengthy, but great interview by Lee Jenkins. Kent gives so much love to ODU (around the 10:37 mark), and there's a good segment where he discusses the departure of Demarre Carroll from the Hawks.

ESPN’s Zach Lowe asked a dozen executives how much Bazemore will command, and their answers ranged “from the mid-level exception, to $12 million, to ‘who the hell even knows?’”
MLE would be between 3-6 million
Rumors that the Hawks are going to be broken up before the trade deadline--Horford and Korver rumored to be on the block.
Bazemore obviously doesn't share a skillset with those guys, but that would be a lot of offense and touches leaving town, opening up more for Bazemore.
Baze had 2 points last night

So unless he has the play of the night we should not discuss him.

No. You didn't.
thread is funnier this way... LOL
Should we change the name if this thread to "Kent Bazemore NBA updates"? The title refers to a play he had last year but we always come here to discuss things about him that have nothing to do with that said play (including myself). I like keeping up with him as he is our only alumni in the NBA and he has far surpassed any expectations we or NBA scouts had of him.
And besides, when has a thread on this forum not gone off the rails from time to time? lol
he always gets my play of the night
