    We’ll have to cut someone if we want to sign someone else I believe, maybe Morris or Wood, and I would imagine only if someone good enough and within the below 12 mil criteria is put on the buyout market.

    If they did not supply all the info, it's good that we backed out. Feel bad for the kid, this will cost him some $$ even if he puts up stats. Which he might not, since his team now has a new starting center.

    But we get all the picks back and we know what it takes to actually get a promising center, so there's that. Dalton and Reddish aren't going to be used much for now, and it's too bad that they know what's up between them, the coaching staff and the FO. But it won't ruin our chemistry in the long run.

    Capela and Turner are FAs. I don't know our flexibility this summer and if Bron can do us a solid

    Yeah. First reaction was this is incredibly frustrating because our championship upside this year is probably gone. But if his medicals look bad enough to rescind the trade knowing how bad we need a center, we wouldn’t have been able to rely on this guy.

    There was Jusuf, of course, but now Charlotte is stuck with both of them. And knowing what they know about Mark (obviously they knew), they are not just going to let Nurkic go.

    F*** I forgot we sent out Cam Reddish, I don’t think we can even waive him and get more money, just a roster spot, we’re screwed.

    I’m glad we aren’t stuck with damaged goods and that we get Dalton back.
    It was Painful today watching Max play so well for Dallas.

    I'd still like to know, what these multiple concerns we had were, that were not related to his back.

    The League should force them to give us at least a pair of seconds for this mess.

    The league would do well to give us a small trade extension for this.

    Seems like Nance and Boucher are the best bigs that may get bought out. Can’t say I’m excited.

    it's weird to me that the deadline passing means you can't renegotiate the deal at all. this happens in other trades, why not here? it would only be about draft compensation, i'm sure.

    either one would fit great here, but i don't think we have a roster spot.
