    I'm a hard no on Lavine right now. Just too broken and an awful contract. I'd like to get a serviceable defensive big guy to throw at Joker, etc. And I'd like an upgrade at the starting 3/4 with Grant instead of Rui. I'd like to hold onto Dlo for now and revisit possible trades at the deadline. Somehow I don't feel like Cam Johnson is an actual upgrade to Rui. Can someone convince me of that? I used to love DFS but he seems to have fallen off completely.

    Yeah let’s gloss over the roster turnover after our championship team because the kang doesn’t like to be “comfortable” from season to season.

    Brooklyn Nets re-signed center Nic Claxton to a four-year $100 million contract. Claxton gets $97 million guaranteed with $3 million in potential bonuses, league sources told
    @hoopshype
    . The contract includes a descending structure, which starts at $27.6 million, per sources.

    despite his height, bertans is a sf. and i'll be surprised if he's picked up at all. he's been unplayable the last few stops.

    oh yeah, and screw SA for going the extra mile to open space and facilitate a trade for sacramento. i'm 100% certain they hung up on us.

    Good for Nic. My kids played AAU with him when he was like 12 in South Carolina. He played 2-3 ages up. Was a scrawny, gangly kid with glasses back then.

    they do. but getting AD to demand a trade here was great and a no-brainer. where's that been since? dejounte murray just went for less than we offered (imo). he's a klutch client. where was LeGM there?

    i don't feel like we've benefited from lebron's behind-the-scenes work since AD. that's now half a decade past. his actual moves (russ) and the countless bad moves he's tried to pressure the front office into since then have undone his reputation as a back-room dealer, imo. if anything, jeanie's affinity for rob (and their joint interest in having a franchise, post-lebron) has saved us from some even more catastrophic moves than russ.

    To be fair, SA is likely getting Huerter or Barnes to facilitate the DeRozan trade. If I’m the Spurs, I probably prefer one of those two players on a team friendly 2 year deal rather than DLo on an expiring (not a great fit, and would likely want a big role/usage)

    Plus, thank you Spurs for NOT being willing to accept a DLo salary dump to allow us to sign Klay for 4 years/$80 million
