Don't forget the Jailblazers that should've beat the Lakers

RashWeed Wallace, JR Higher Rider, D Bo, Stoudemire. Rapist Ruben Patterson…..

oh lord.

 

[bksballer89]

Do you believe this though?

I put nothing past Kevin Durant

This would be huge & quite frankly stupid especially with Ja missing the first 25 games

The fuck? Is the market really that bad for him? He should definitely be able to lock down more guaranteed money than 18 mil.

This new 2nd apron shit got guys shook.

He can still get extended if traded, no?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Probably just posturing but these are the only 3 pieces that could be moved to bring back difference makers.

Masai has to be trolling.

I keep hearing FVV could go to Orlando, where he lives in the off-season, if Toronto doesn’t give him 30 plus per.

Even with him, they aren’t the fucking Heat.

I love Pascal, Scottie and OG individually.

On the same roster?

Eh.

Trent just opted in.

Yes.

I think now a 40% increase

I think so yeah. He must be shooting for the extension whether he stays or is traded knowing the team can go over the cap to keep him

The players got schooled

Doing this apron ANd cap smoothing killed them

Without smoothing I read the cap would be like 171m

 

[shopson67]

Lol the season needs to end later. 2.5 weeks of rumors is nuts

It could've ended later but the Heat didn't hold up their end of the deal.

 

[shopson67]

Yeah.

That’s why folks are saying Bill Simmons is on fucking crack.

Zion’s trade number is currently still like 14 mil.

If he’s traded, it will be after the draft.

Because of the cap, you couldn’t even swap him for Simons without having to add another guy.

It can be agreed to now, finalized when the new league year starts.

I want the Cavs to try and land Royce O'Neale.

The Cavs mostly just need time. No young teams ever win in the NBA.

They do need to add around the margins and add some shooting though- at the 3 and the 4.



I think the Cavs should give Okoro another chance, another year of development, becuase of his ceiling, but they need a backup plan in case his shooting does not improve.

The Cavs had 2 huge issues.

1. Youth

2. With Okoro, Mobley, Allen on the floor they had 3 guys that could not shoot a 3. That is tough in todays game and led the Knicks to packing the lane and making it very difficult on Garland and Mitchell to penetrate.

I expect Mobley and Okoro to improve their shots- but they need a backup plan for Okoro- and either Dean Wade needs to step up at the 4 - or they need to add a shooter there that they can depend on.

You can’t trade a first until after 24 draft though

You can trade that pick after making it

I’m curious what nets do with him

They don’t need him with all the other guys they got

I expect DFS to be gone soon.

At the deadline, they could’ve gotten 2 picks for him.

Still would have ended nearly 2 weeks before free agency if the series went 7.....

There has to be some gap though. Even with the current gap it seems ridiculous that the draft is this week already and Vegas starts up a week later.
