Well, if nobody will sign him in the NBA then at least he can still continue playing basketball outside the US.

As for Taiwan, getting Howard might create a domino effect towards those NBA players who doesn't have contract right now. We might see more NBA player who doesn't have contract playing not only with Taiwan but maybe other countries (more likely in Asia). A win-win for both parties as the player might be paid higher than what they are giving to their local player (it's the case with Howard this season) and at the same time, getting ex-NBA players will boost the popularity of the T1 league.

I guess Cousins can still be a dominant player. Him and Davis are the top scoring players back when they are at Pelicans. Injuries caused Cousins' career to decline but I think he can still dominate a league lower than NBA obviously. Just look what Howard is doing right now in Taiwan. Dominating the paint, a double-double machine and also shooting threes as well .

Just getting to the playoffs would be their best performance this season and surely they will gonna be torn against their opponents in their western conference because the Sacramento Kings this season is like the Memphis last season, even though there aren't any superstars in the team, they can surpass other teams that haven't played well even though they have all the necessary players to win a championship. If they can continue winning at such a rate, obviously their spot in the playoff tree will be guaranteed for sure.

Makes the season more interesting to watch, a bad team before are already winning, and look at the Jazz, they prove us wrong because they were expected to struggle this season due to the fact that they are rebuilding. I'm really happy with what is happening so far, looks like the season now are very unpredictable.

Kings' winning streak has been interrupted. Honestly, they had been on a really consistent winning streak so far till the last match. And I do not think that they are about to even think about missing the playoffs. The type of performance that they were able to show is enough to give them a lot of confidence. Right now I bet they are not even thinking about missing the playoffs.

Jazz have lost two matches in a row. Before that, they were showing positive performances. I know some of the matches they've played have been really close. But they did get the result in their favor. From the next game on, I hope they will be able to perform better.

We will see, as you have said, Jazz is one team that surprises us all in the West, but now they are on a 2 game losing skid. Sacramento on the other hand, lost against Trae Young. Although they have been dominated, they try to make a comeback in that game but they just fell short.

Probably need a win in their home court so get back the confidence because it will be just a waste if they started to lose after having a good start.

So this is a mind game for the team, both of them, they have to look at it one game at a time.

I think if LeBron James joins the equation as you said, this team is likely to get far better in my opinion. Obviously, if the players start playing well as a team and everyone on the team starts contributing, the star players are going to have less pressure on them. When the players know that there are other players who can come in the clutch, it will be easier for them to perform freely. That will relieve them of a lot of burden. Anthony Davis, Walker, Westbrook, and LeBron James are all set to make the team very strong together. I just hope that the players stay healthy.

That's the right punishment. I won't disagree with it because he reacted too harshly but I am still on his side about what he had done.
Ayton may have not done much but I want to see NBA punish this kind of action too as players won't be overreacting if there's no harm done.
I have seen some harm when he used his foot forward at the back of Reaves. It won't even happen if he didn't initiate. I didn't even need the replay to see thru what Ayton is doing, it's too obvious.

14 games. The only teams that won't be playing today are Dallas Mavericks and Toronto Raptors.

That is true, Luka's consistency will be pointless if he cannot have anything inside the team that can match him and will somehow balance the play that he is doing. The others were not that consistent like him anymore, except this Christian Wood who is kind of making some noise recently. I agree that Jason Kidd should give him more exposure to make use of him in the upcoming games and to be more accustomed once the league gets tougher, I mean, what's the use of acquiring him if he won't be utilized.

It is just a slight difference and nothing to worry about. People just loved to see the rankings as the basis of power without even going to the small details to see the correct details and that they got more wins. They may be ranked 4th in the West now but that doesn't mean that they are much weaker than the teams above those said rank, moreover, that's already too much to expect from newly formed team who are expected to be tanking this season.
