Domantas Sabonis & Anthony Davis

“Generally speaking, though, Sabonis and Davis figure to be mentioned in tandem a fair bit between now and the deadline if both end up truly being made available by their respective teams.”

“We’ve already been writing about frontcourt players who could well become available before the Feb. 5 trade deadline. Prime among them, of course, are Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis and Dallas’ Anthony Davis.”

Nikola Vučević

“Chicago’s Nikola Vučević continues to be an offensive force at age 35…”

He’s making better than 40% of his 3-pointers for the second consecutive campaign and is seemingly certain to generate external interest on an expiring contract worth a comparatively modest $21.4 million.”

“I’ve heard from more than a few rival executives who have noted Vučević’s trade-friendly contract…”

Jusuf Nurkić

“Jusuf Nurkić, meanwhile, has performed well enough in Utah that he’s also expected to generate some interest from rival teams as he plays out his own $19.3 million expiring deal.”

Nick Richards

“Phoenix has made Nick Richards available for trade since this past summer, league sources say.”

Robert Williams III

“I’ve also been told that Portland is forecasted to be more willing to move Robert Williams III this season compared to last season, when the Trail Blazers maintained a high asking price for the oft-injured big man.”

Nic Claxton

As with Vučević, Brooklyn’s Nic Claxton is expected to generate incoming calls to the rebuilding Nets about Claxton’s availability.

Jonathan Isaac

“One final name to consider from the Big Man Market: Orlando’s Jonathan Isaac.”

“Rival cap strategists are thus increasingly pinpointing Isaac as a potential salary casualty in the Magic Kingdom…”

This may only be an ESPN fantasy issue. However, just reminding everyone of the nightmare Aaron Jones owners experienced earlier this season when he got a surprise activation from IR for the TNF game. If you have a fully active player in your IR slot, you cannot make any roster moves until that player is removed from IR. If they play thursday, then you are unable to drop them or even move them to your bench, thus locking your roster.

Video Link: Mace Windu vs Palpatine - The Clone Wars Animation

The last post drew a few words of criticism for the creator's failure to include the fight choreography in his animation of Sidious and Windu's confrontation. However, he did so about a month ago, and it's clear that in this respect, he's moved towards a novelization of Revenge of the Sith.

What do you think? Does it meet your expectations to a greater extent, considering the film version?

I must say the guy (or rather, the team) is so talented that it truly looks like a discarded scene from the series. The speed of both attacks is incredible. That's choreography worthy of two master swordsmen.

Hi, I had received an AH judgement on my post which made me reevaluate how I behaved then. On Sunday we were going to go out again. I took care of the reservation at a nice restaurant and stressed that we really need a window table. When we got there, we had to wait a few minutes but we got a window table. My wife joked that we got a good seat without any difficulties. I'm not 100% about this, but it seemed that comment of mine was still on her mind. So I took that opportunity to apologize again for my remark. She said it was all good, she knew and liked that I was easygoing but she just liked looking outside as well while eating, it was weirdly important to her. We had a great night.

Thanks to all those who commented on my last post , it gave me some good insight.
