    Did you see a little check mark on that Tweet or check the spelling of Woj's name?

    Calipari to Pelicans to coach his former studs and a few more to come up soon? Would be kind of cool to see an NBA Kentucky starting 5.

    This should work out well as long as, like Kentucky's opponents, none of the other teams have five NBA players to put on the court.

    Add Bledsoe, Booker, and Wall to Davis and Cousins. You don't think that 5 can hang with any team?

    They'd probably be OK. Their coach would hurt their effort.

    He isn't a coach. He's a salesman.

    I think you're being a bit difficult yourself, or just not aware of his old reputation. He started as a 27 percent shooter from 3, getting up to the low to mid-30s in some years, even though teams conceded the shot to him. As he aged, he worked on his shot and got up into the low-40s. I think he's a rarity though, since the more usual development is a guy like Rajon Rondo or Ricky Rubio, who don't develop the jumper and as a result, teams can dare them to shoot from 17+ feet. To me, MCW was in that category after his first year, and I don't think it was a minority opinion or anything.

    I think Bledsoe might be a free agent soon, so maybe you could lure him. But Booker and Wall aren't leaving their teams unless you include Davis and Cousins in a deal, or, if all five agree to well below market deals.

    It was apparently fake, about the Lakers trading Ingram, Randle and a first-rounder to Indiana for Paul George.
