So because I care about all of you (even those that I frequently engage in "spirited debate" aka one sided trolling of) I highly recommend Goli apple cider vinegar gummies and Goli super green gummies. I have added those to my daily intake as well as a Men's one a day vitamin......50-plus because I am almost 52. And I also take 6-8 wheat grass tablets a day.

The fine print: I am no Nutrionist, still DJ the foodie, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express recently.
Not sure about the others but I do take the One-A-Day over 50.

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

I would like to thank you for not pointing out that the Lakers didn't exactly extend their series vs. the Nuggets either. lol

Not as funny as how the Knicks trolled the Cavs........you know when you disappeared......because the Knicks beat the Cavs in the first round?

Ok, this was funny.

Mean as hell.

But funny.

Why won't he just plainly ask out? What is this dude scared of? He's put in the time. There's no true Blazers fan out there that's gonna hate him for it. Everyone knows its over. Hell, most of the Blazers fans will be rooting for him wherever he goes.
People who want him to get traded see this as him being afraid to explicitly ask to get dealt.

People who don’t want to see him get traded take it at face value that he’s just trying to apply pressure.

Who knows which is actually accurate?

Shams was reporting he wanted to stay just yesterday.

What are the Hawks going to do with Okongwu and Capela?

I know the Hawks have been trying to trade Collins for a long time.

But what are they doing?

Seriously.

They needed to trade Capella for a wing to open up minutes for Okongwu.

There have to be more moves coming here.

Yeah, it makes little sense, otherwise, for Atlanta.

Plus, yikes on that being the return for the #1 overall pick that you drafted over Luka Doncic.

On paper, the Dubs return on Wiseman looks suss.

But, real world?

Totally get it because of the success they had with Payton.

I wanted Brogdon for my Clips.

So, no shade to him.

But, if by some chance the Hornets take Scott, gotta think Rozier will be expendable and maybe they can get an additional asset?

* contemplates last sentence*

Damn, the defense would be BRUTAL with a Book/ Terry backcourt.

So, how about just sending his ass to the Pacers for Turner and a guard not named Halliburton?

Ummmm, how does this make sense if they are willing to trade for Dame?


“It was out there that Miami decided not to bite on Beal because they were playing for (Portland’s Damian) Lillard,” a league source told Heavy Sports. “It really wasn’t that; it was tax consequences with Beal that really caused them to back off. The new tax is much more onerous.

“And I think part of it was that Beal said he wouldn’t give up the no-trade clause in his contract (after the initial deal was complete)

If he wanted out he could easily get out at this point and he wouldnt take much media heat. I think he just likes it there and likes the idea of being a 1 team player. I do think that if they do nothing to help him they will force his hand- but I think if he had his choice he would stay with an upgraded roster.

#3 pick in this draft and Simmons is some serious trade firepower too.

Atlanta doing that deal is just getting better players even if they’re worse fits

They drafted wings recently and could more easily flip these guys than Collins who they haven’t been able to move for 2 years
