    Williams is legit.

    The front office stepped up and delivered. This team healthy can win it all.

    Dwight third string center and Jokic aggravator? Short minutes, experience, 6 fouls.

    Still have a second round pick, two swaps, the corpse of C Wood or Kleber we can move tomorrow for something.

    Do we try to make up for losing Max's defense by going after someone like Isaac Okoro or try to get a shooting replacement for Knecht with a Luke Kennard. Salary wise, we could get either for Kleber.

    The other team has to want the player for the trade to work. No one wants Gabe right now.

    Those choices don’t sound too enticing to me but we’re clearly cooking right now so who knows

    At long last!

    And hey: they're not all that bad. Some people like 'em. I can even stand 3-4 kalamatas on a salad.

    If you can find it in your heart - and stomach - to choke them down. Just tell yourself they're chock-full of essential nutritiousness and vitamins A-Z.

    And: we have our center. He's from Duke, he's the lob-dunk guy Luka wanted, and he protects the rim. We can get DK back someday when he's learned to play D.

    Until then: I see him hitting 10 3s in a game for CHA or...somebody.

    Mark Williams: 23 years old: welcome to The Show!

    I liked Dalton a lot but we needed a center more. Hes also younger and fits what Luka likes.

    We are going all in. I’ve begged and pleaded for this for several seasons.

    Very pleased with what we’ve done.

    I deal Kleber and Wood for Kennard in a heartbeat. I don't think MEM does, though.

    I'll just hit "post reply" on this and then go see that, minutes ago, Kennard was dealt to the Raptors. Man, I have vertigo. I'm honestly still tryna wrap my damned HAID around AD for Luka. I'm caught in a vortex. I feel like that character in Poe's "Descent Into The Maelstrom" and I don't even play in the NBA.

    Oh I was more referring to the quality of what we had left to offer teams. I’d definitely trade those guys if someone is interested.
