[Mecca of the “B” Team]

What’s up Mecca how ya been?

Can't complain, my guy.

How are you and Harden's house of horrors/whores?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Thanks for ruining my Friday

Dude, you are gonna get him....imo

They aren't sending him to Toronto.

I think there are only two teams that should terrify you...

Bucks and 6ers.

Curious what the heat are thinking

If you don’t have the assets for dame you certainly don’t have it for embiid or Giannis

Shit, I hadn't seen this.

Ouch

Blazers refusing to talk with the Heat about Damian Lillard?

Clutch Points: “Portland is refusing to talk to Miami. Miami understands that they don’t have the assets. But they wanna know, ‘Hey Portland, we’ll involve a 3rd or 4th team. But commun…

Honestly, if I'm the Celtics, I would give ZERO FUCKS what Dame wants with 4 years left on his deal.

Put him on the Celtics, Bucks, 76ers, Heat and they would have a chance to dismantle the East, depending on what they have to give up.

Someone had to do it

Actually…they may have the assets for Embiid because they’d be incentivized to part with Bam. Bam is a great piece to have around Maxey and a rebuild. They may be able to do a three way with another team and Herro to bolster the deal with picks and other young players.

Bam, Caleb Martin, somebody else’s young player with upside, 2 Heat 1sts and another team’s 1st.

This would only happen if we get to Embiid demands a trade and only wants Miami. If Embiid goes on the open market, this deal is definitely beatable if OKC or Knicks want to get involved.

Doing well. Quiet weekend after my niece’s wedding in Nashville last weekend. Went hard on Broadway Friday - Monday with family. Was a great time. I think they’re actually gonna bring Harden back to start the year.

The 76ers = May you live in interesting times. Better than a soap opera.

Do the bucks have enough picks available?

I’m thinking they’re a threat for harden with their depth but probably needs to be rerouted for expiring deals for that to work

Bucks wouldn’t part with anybody that the Sixers would want. I think only possibility is Jrue Holiday and why would Bucks swap Harden for Holiday?

Heard a fun Dr. Buss story this morning.

Apparently, after the Kobe/Shaq three-peat, he was offered $1 billion for the team which was well above the going rate at the time. When Jeanie asked him why he declined he said "You know, Jeanie, the problem with that is that's so much money. I would get the money and people would ask what are you going to do with all that money? The first thing I'd want to do is buy the Lakers. So why would I ever sell the team?"

Could help them in the Dame trade.

Could help them in the Dame trade.

Not if it's Sexton.

....and we are talking about Ainge.

So, it likely is Sexton...lol

Look at that roster.

Who would Portland want outside of Agbaji, Markennan, Kessler?

Odds that the Jazz would deal any of them gotta be low.

Maybe Johnny Juzang?

Unless the Blazers are just dying to land THT, I would rather have Tyler....lol

Lower scoring Sabonis, Kings version.

Lmao if this happens.

Lmao if this happens.

Haha! That’s a kick in the dick. Here comes the coldest you’ve ever been AND you get to pay 60% of your salary in taxes. Yayyy!

Cant be loyal to these teams. Just consistently sign 3 yr deals with player option after year 2

 

[The Q]

They have enough expiring deals plus dick and future picks to make an interesting run

Duck alone is worth at least Jacquez and one Miami pick

Loyalty = take advantage of rules that allow you to sign a ridiculous extension and before said extension even kicks in you’re demanding a trade.

Dame played the game too. Fuck this Dame is loyal shit. He benefited from the rule with zero intention of staying.
