    While it's true, Dwight should've slapped him. This is the same Kurt who forced us to stick with Deandre longer in the starting lineup

    Yeah. I really feel like Indiana is motivated by spite and when Turner walks they will regret not getting a pick. We will see how that plays out.

    definitely bad luck for us with the Charlotte angle. Hopefully the market does get better for us as the season plays out.

    I actually believe at this point, Westbrook’s trade value will only continue to go up until the trade deadline. By the deadline will be when he has peak trade value, because at the end of the day he’s a massive expiring contract. Most teams will be able to stomach buying out or paying him for the last 2 months of the season to get off some longer term contracts if they want to blow up their roster or create flexibility for a rebuild.

    It just takes one great player who’s disgruntled by mid season because their team wants to go in a different direction… that’s where the whole DeRozen/Vucevic trade idea does make sense, but I can also see a similar scenerio happing with the Hornets, Wizards with Beal (contract extension be damned), Sacramento, Orlando, etc

    Poole must have called him an old man or something.

    beal's and lillard's extensions cause problems for those ideas...howeva...say they're having down years and their low-revenue teams are looking at huge bills for several years...how many bidders are there? how many teams can put enough salary out there without losing talent?

    I can see a scenario where Sacramento decides that De'Aron Fox isn't the type of guard they want long term if the Kings continue to suck for the first 30 games or so, and they want to open up more playing time for their rookie Murray. Fox and Harrison Barnes for Westbrook?

    Sacramento can then go find a preferred point guard in free agency next summer using cap space.

    Fox would have to go to a third team. He cant shoot.

    We can help...

    Dray and Wiggins for Russ, Nunn, Christie, Gabriel, and the picks IF you can get their extensions figured out (unofficially) before the deal.

    AD
    Dray
    Bron
    Wiggins
    Pat Bev

    That's championship defense.

    DS better hurry up and get over here, Rob might've found his next undersized guard to sign

    extremely unlikely given they chose to keep Fox over Haliburton just a few months ago.

    That’s legitimately interesting to me. Wiggins played out of his skin in the playoffs and really took the defence to Tatum. It would be a 2-3 year window. But you’d still have AD and Wiggins left.

    It's a great fit with AD for the future. They would bond a lot in the injury room
