    Being a Carper seems to be your BB expertise.

    I find this to be one of the interesting pieces of breaking news the league has had in the social media era.

    Hayes " scooped " Chris Paul getting bought out by Phoenix. I guess some of his "scoops" are only partially true.

    Bucks are in good hands.



    This makes Ham's huddles look COY worthy

    At the very least, I also like that Rivers is off the board. As others mentioned, I had a real concern we'd hire him if we moved on from Ham.

    Not at all.
    He brings playmaking which we lack while controlling TOs. Russ didn't
    He can shoot. Russ can't
    He defends at a high level. Russ doesn't.
    He fits AD and Reaves' timeline. Russ doesn't.

    he's paid half of what russ was getting paid, which allows our mom & pop shop to field the rest of the roster, too.

    Brad covers the Hawks. He's making appearances on Irwin's pod and the Kam bros pod this week, so we'll definitely be hearing more from his side on this.

    Now it's official official




    I wonder how much money he conned out of them. They're now paying for three head coaches this season.

    Yeah. That's wild.

    I get the thought of cutting bait with something that isn't working but can't gloss over that this was bad management. If you are firing a coach this quickly you didn't do your due diligence in the beginning. I also can't imagine Doc being an upgrade.

    wonder if we're bidding the teams against each other with a similar pool of assets.

    for brown: rui/jhs/lightly protected 2027 1st (top-8?)?

    for murry: dlo/jhs/even more lightly protected 2027 1st (top-4) and maybe a lotto-protected swap?

    we could tell each team that whomever jumps first gets the goods?

    in my scenario, we keep dlo in a brown trade, so we don't need a pg. brown's a 3 and d wing who's proven not to shrink under the bright lights; i think that's the interest. then again, so was danny green before he got here, so who knows?

    I imagine so. My concern is using the first for Brown.

    If we were somehow able to package up Rui for Murray then I would be thrilled.

    I like Brown and was interested in us signing him. I don't know if I want us to trade for him though.

    I would need a notarized document signed in blood by Ham that he would play Brown as the starting SF and not Prince.

    I think Brown is a floor raiser and brings it in the playoffs. A versatile forward who can guard 4 positions at a high level and hit some corner 3s is a big get. He's a huge upgrade over Prince. That said, it's not our biggest need and we only have enough to swing for one starting level player. If you can get him for Rui, 2nds, Lewis and Hayes or Prince then do it. I'm not giving up a first for him though.
