    Jesus, I have stated this exactly multiple times on this site. Nevertheless, going forward, although we don't have 1 FRP, and a FRP that a team may switch years on still sucks. But yes our situation is far less bad than people who take our ability to only trade our '27 and '29 picks are. That's because of the "only can trade a FRP each other year rule". We lose our '24 or '25 FRP depending on what the Pels take. We have our pick this year (Pel's can swap it). But in essence, we are alright. 1 FRP lost. We are fine as long as we don't further dump our future.

    No Mitchell to feed and KAT has to get his.

    Yeah I was the self admitted nobody on previous page calling the whole Twitter mess a disaster. But users and large advertisers and looks like many of remaining employees are leaving in droves following his 12 hour work days 7 days a week memo, after he already fired the first half. He himself seemed to realize it wasn’t a good idea after sobering up when he tried to back out of the deal.

    This is what I think but everyone and everything liberal in the world is against him. Guess he looks too much like the one who can't be mentioned.

    I sure hope, for his teammates sake, McGruber never did the banana trick in the locker room.

    Some new trade trade buzz across the league from Shams...

    Suns still looking to move Crowder and are looking for wing help -- Kuz, Barnes, KJ Martin. Suns also interest in John Collins who the Hawks have put back on the market.
    Hawks should've moved him last year. Value was higher.

    Russ and Nunn and a few 2nds for Harris, Tucker, and Thybulle.

    That would give the 6ers $35m-ish to play with next summer in FA.

    Harris would be a great fit for us.

    Also, Kuz would be very good on the Suns, IMO.

    Any of those guys would help the Suns, especially Kuz, they need that other basket getter besides CP3 and Booker.

    I'd do that Russ trade for Harris... his contract is pretty big but theres only another year on it. And he's only 30 years old, thought he was older for some reason. Tucker and Thybulle would be nice additions for depth as well. 76ers could use the guard help with two of their 3 main options injured.

    Man, Gobert is just awful on offense. I just watched him airball a shot from like six feet.

    If I were a part of the Laker FO, I would be targeting Ant Edwards for a big offer in two years. We already know he likes to be in films. He’s not the kind of star that is past his prime: he could be a major piece for the next Championship Team. He’s also the type of guy you look to who may not want to spend the rest of his career in Basketball Siberia. Furthermore, he’s a much better target than Beal, or the list of “big” Free Agents available this summer.

    yeah, feel like someone is going to get a steal there at some point.


    can't see them moving off tucker due to harden's presence. but swap melton for thybulle or springer for tucker and the deal still works and i consider it.


    so rare that guys don't sign their first big extension in place. if you're star-chasing in FA, 8-year vets are usually the youngest.

    Yeah, I know. I’m just tired of the “Let’s only do a move if it fits in with the LeBron timeline” plan. It’s wishful thinking.
