    It would appear the Lakers will go the FA route for their center.I could also see S&T Ayton to BKN

    I guess we could just offer to absorb Gafford from Dallas, but maybe we pay the 1st to dump Vando.

    He’s perfect for us. Exactly what he is.great bench guy. Energy. And works his a** off. Plays with his hair on fire. Doesn’t have nearly as much the ability as Ayton but works and plays much harder.

    so glad that's finally done with

    bucks fleeced the heat here. giannis is on the wrong side of 30, due for a massive contract, and his style of play doesn't exactly equal longevity. reminds me a lot of the melo to ny trade

    bucks basically got every young heat talent except for larsson plus a bunch of picks. don't see how this makes the heat any better when their two best players can't shoot

    I think that number was always going to be likely, even with other teams offering a 4 year max, we could offer a 5th year which made the 35m more likely in my opinion.

    The cap space Chicago and Brooklyn have is still enough to take on OKC, Cleveland or Denver’s salary dumps. Not sure we’re likely to benefit there.

    Ayton and Hayes being merged into one player is probably close to a max guy.

    Of course, merging Vando with Rui also makes a max guy

    Jeanie’s back. Anybody that doesn’t want to play for the Lakers is a loser.

    I said Portis would get traded with him. This reminds of Dwight. The big circus.

    Well Miami got the semi OKC package. Tyler Herro can ball as the main guy. Not Shai but you have your unquestioned baller leader.

    you got your draft capital 3 number 1’s this draft is deep.

    you got a young cornerstone center in Ware.

    young glue guy Jaquez. They’ll love him.

    well take Kuzma.

    Miami what yall doing? You’re not better than the Knicks. Who’s shooting.Bam Gianis. What else Wiggins Davion Mitchell. That’s a nice team 4th 5th East Boston Detroit New York Cleveland


    Boston how do you repair Jaylin Brown? He’s all pissed. He was all but gone. Remember that thing about us wanting to trade you??? Oh that was nothing. We still want you. You’re still our guy.

    Miami throws in Kas to get it done. It’s a good thing Boston didn’t get Giannis.

    Miami will be a solid contender in the east for the next few years. Mitchell - Norm - Wiggins - Giannis - Bam.

    Boston probably looks to trade Brown now, not sure they can go back after putting him out there like they did.

    Seems the bucks executed this trade before the draft to simplify things. Will they try and rope in Detroit and us before then too?

    Brown, Ant and McDaniels would be a problem in Minnesota.
