Must be due to play a masters league

I actually had to do a double take when I realised his claimed age is still only 24.

I think a lot of the proof points towards him actually being about 27 at this point… Although who really knows.

Great to see Baynes in the crowd at the Bullets-United game.

Hopefully things are on the up for him and life is better.

This is insane. I had no idea any of this had happened. So so scary.

I was just about to post this myself. I had no idea things had gotten so dire with his condition.

WTF. I knew he had that fall but had simply presumed he'd recovered.

Poor bastard

This is why I don’t use hand santiser.

He was on the trade block as recent as last week if you believed the rumors, suggest this one is a sad story of an early retirement you would think (maybe they keep him on in a semi playing/coaching capacity).

 

[Happy Mastenator]

In good news, he's made $70m US from his NBA career, plus would have had some good coin from his time in Europe.

He and his family have generational wealth now.

Given his ability as a shooter he will probably be able to find a limited minutes bench role somewhere for the minimum.

Or return to Australia and play a few seasons as the teams star in the NBL.

I hope he plays in the NBA again. That said he’s on record saying he wants to come back to the NBL and play for a Melbourne based team at some point.

The most disappointing part imo is it could possibly mark the end of his Boomers career.

That's 3 in a row for Giddey. There may not be as much rookie competition in the West but it's still impressive.

So what will our starting 5 look like in a few years?

PG Dellavedova
SG Exum
SF Simmons
C ?
PF ?

Mills to wave his towel on the pine!

SG: Mills.

A highlight package for Josh Giddey, with a few of his out of bounds play assists.

Rumoured trade Harden and Simmons as the centrepieces.

Just hope a Simmons trade occurs before the deadline. What’s going on now isn’t helping anyone.

 

[moistie]

It would be a decent fit for Ben, he provides the distribution and defence, and has a lot of offensive power around him.

Simmons to Brooklyn = Patty in his ear.

At least I think Patty should be able to get in his ear then…
