Sorry

I’m too busy watching my team screw up their draft picks after being awful for an entire year…


…again

So far it’s working so I’ll keep saying it. The Thunder are ripe for a loss.

 

[The Q]

They need shooting over defense. They were like bottom third in defense most of the year. The last 10 games or so they are top 3

They need a smaller dfs basically


Can I interest everyone in Cody Martin?

the Jimmy Butler era in Miami was always going to end this way--- him acting like malcontent- forcing their hand to try and trade him. Apparently he is going to be EXTREMELY difficult to trade.

Which teams could actually trade for him?​

Butler asking to be traded and the Heat now listening to offers does not change the challenges of finding the former All-Star a new home. The combination of Butler's $48.8 million salary this season and nearly a third of teams not allowed to take back more salary in a trade makes any potential deal complicated.

Three out of the four teams on Butler's preferred list -- the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns -- would need to trade a quarter of their roster. The Suns would need to have Bradley Beal waive his no-trade clause. Sources told ESPN, that the Heat have no desire to take back the $110 million owed to Beal and that Phoenix would need to find a third team. The Warriors and Mavericks probably would need to find a third or fourth team to reroute some of the contracts sent out.

The Heat also are not allowed to take back more salary because they are an apron team. -- Marks

That's what makes him doing this now so dumb. His preferred teams are all contenders or near contenders that could be put over the top by adding him. Problem is, they would have to give up so much to get him...are they really going to be better enough with him to contend?

And that would be with Miami taking the minimum it would take to get the deal done...they're likely to want more than that. Especially if they're taking back any non-expiring contracts.

Fluke title? They dominated all year last year. Your fandom is definitely of the glass half empty variety. No one hates your team more than you lol.

Letting Lu Dort shoot open threes is no longer a winning move
