Phoenix’s last game was Monday vs. Washington, which played Philly, Boston and Miami last week and already had its game against Utah postponed tonight. Atlanta’s last game was Monday against Philly.

TOM HABERSTROH:

my proposed NBA regional hub idea 5 hubs x 6 teams Los Angeles hub (LAL, LAC, PHX, GSW, SAC, PDX) Dallas hub (DAL, HOU, SAS, OKC, UTA, DEN, NOP) Orlando hub (ORL, MIA, ATL, CHA, NOP, MEM) Indiana hub (IND, MIL, CHI, MIN, CLE, DET) New York hub (NYK, BRK, BOS, PHI, WAS, TOR)

Wherein I predict that the NBA will eventually transition to 4 or 5 regional pods (think extended NCAA Conference tournaments) to have more centralized testing/tracing and less travel. I think testing/tracing at the team-level while flying all over is unsustainable.

1- WARRIORS: 



-PACERS AN UNDERRATED TEAM AND ORGINIZATION - 
-INDY RUN AT THE END 
-IT’S HARD TO DEVELOP A 19 YEAR OLD AND WIN — IT SEEMS WISEMAN WAS BETTER WHEN HE DIDN;T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING — MAYBE HES THINKING TOO MUCH 

-Steph on the box and 1 defense he continues to see: "We have to find ways to pick it apart. I have to find ways to be aggressive and kind of make them pay for playing janky defenses that I don't know how much they work on it."


-WARRIORS CAN ADN WILL IOMPROVE...IT’S EARLY—- BUT THE 11 GAME 6-5 LOOK — 

*THEY’LL COMPETE — 
*THEY’LL STAY IUN MOST GAMES, MUCH BETTER THANB LAST YEAR 
*I’D RATHER DEVELOP MY YOUTH THAN BY A 7-10 SEED.... THEY’RE NOT HANGING WITH LAKERS, CLIPPERS, NUGGETS ETC...
*WHO ARE THEY BETTER THAN?? 

-WEST IS JUMBLED.... 

ELITE: LAKERS CLIPPERS

NEXT: SPURS, KINGS, GRIZZLIES, THUNDER 
NEXT: TWOLVES

Kerr says that Klay Thompson has cleared testing protocols and is back around the Warriors and seeing his teammates. Kerr is hopeful he’ll get to talk to Klay tonight but doesn’t anticipate him traveling much this year. 1/12/21, 5:53 PM 




A DEAL FOR BEAL — I DONT THIONK ABOUT WISEMAN—-   (SI)   (WISEMAN, WIGGINS , MINN PICK???) 

The most-likely suitors are usual suspects: Golden State, Miami, Brooklyn, Denver, Philadelphia and maybe even Toronto. But what about teams that wouldn’t view Beal as a missing championship piece, but rather someone who can either supplement their own best player or stand in as an upgrade? Sacramento, Atlanta, San Antonio, Orlando, New Orleans or Chicago, where Beal’s college coach Billy Donovan is employed, would all be fascinating destinations. If it doesn’t work out they could always flip him elsewhere before next year’s trade deadline. If the relationship is harmonious, they’ll have a chance to build around one of the NBA’s most lethal scorers and alter their trajectory for the better.

WOULD YOU DO: WIGGINS, WISEMAN, MINNESOTA PICK ???

2- 49ERS.  ./ NFL:

GENERAL QUESTION — HOW FAR SHOULD YOU GO TO GET AN ELITE , FRANCHISE CHANGING QB??? 



A-MORE WATSON NEWS—-THE CASE FOR THE 49ERS — HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO GET WATSON?? 

San Francisco 49ers

QB situation: At the moment, the 49ers’s have Jimmy Garoppolo under contract for 2021, but every other passer is scheduled for free agency. Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch have consistently said that Garoppolo is their quarterback for next season. That is, unless the unexpected happens and a better quarterback is available. Watson qualifies.

What the 49ers have going for them in a trade: For one, the 49ers could offer Garoppolo, whom Caserio and the Patriots drafted in the second round in 2014. Garoppolo’s contract — which ranks in the low teens among highest paid passers — runs through 2022.

What the 49ers have going for them in a trade: The 49ers have an excellent locker room, a dedicated running game and a pass-catching group that includes George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. They also were in the Super Bowl as recently as February.
It’s worth noting that Shanahan and Lynch paid a lot of attention to Watson before the 2017 draft, including a private workout and a pre-draft visit. At the time, the 49ers, who were picking no. 2 overall, thought they might land Kirk Cousins in an upcoming free-agency period. They did not draft a quarterback until the third round, when they selected C.J. Beathard.

*MAIMI HAS TUA 3 AND 18. 
*JACKSONVILLE HAS 1 AND 21....

4- WHY ARE FOOTBALL NUMBERS DOWN ACROSS THE BOARD WHEN WERE SUPPOSEDLY TRYING TO STAY HOME AND LOOK FOR OUTLETS TO ENTERTAIN US???

ESPN says last night's national championship game drew 18.7 million viewers. That is .... yeesh. Per @paulsen_smw, the previous low for a BCS or CFP title game was 21.4M for USC 55, Oklahoma 19 in 2004.
