    as i said earlier, it's clear ja's got a drinking problem. a couple clips from his own social media really drove that point home for me. i've been around this stuff, and he's in it. i actually believe him that a lot of these things stem from that. so...when are you going to get hold of that, bro? i'm not super optimistic, tbh. he doesn't seem like he's ready to get out of that life.

    i get it. if our guy isn't there at 17, later or future picks makes sense. or a legit win-now rotation player.

    someone mentioned DFS for indy's 7, i think, but i think 17 and beasley is enough there, for example (value wise, for bkn they have harris and maybe curry, so...).


    still hoping everything pushes wallace to us. he's not sexy. hard to sell to these bottom-dwelling lotto ticket seekers. let him drop to us.

    hawkins and murray (gradey d***,too) are similar to me and might even be available later. they won't be superstars, ever. but it's highly unlikely they won't have long nba careers.

    i worry that he's basically the same as dlo, so why not just keep dlo?

    Hard to see DFS fit with Bron, Rui and Vando. There's not many minutes at the 4
    I like him a lot, but don't see it for us

    I think he's a better overall palyer than DLO,certainly a more reliable shooter.DLO is plan B/C. If the Lakers cant swing a trade for a better player he is plan B to bring back.If they can swing a trade I suspect they ask him back at a reduced price and tell him he will come off the bench and if he declines that DS will be the back up

    Possibly...

    I'm interested as to what figure D'Angelo deems as fair. I guess we'll know more on that subject by the draft. I mean he called his season a complete success.

    Ky is about as far as it gets from "Heat culture." Can't see it. I think Butler would hate every second of that experience.

    A 3 billion dollar valuation for his majority stake.according to Woj. MJ is definitely cashing out rather nicely on his investment.

    How was my post aggressive toward you or sk in any way?

    I'll try to be more humble. That's always good advice I don't want to disregard. Maybe you can try to be less sensitive. I did "show my point" but you didn't get it, and apparently still don't. No worries.

    If I was "indeed wrong", how exactly was I? Your post above completely misunderstood my point.

    could probably do it without including the nets by routing the 17 and maybe our protected 29 to the bulls and hawks.

    it's the hawks who say no, i think. lavine is a downgrade from murray and makes more money than murray will get even after next year.

    Fair enough
    Even though he makes more than Murray will make they would be getting the consensus best player in this trade and getting off of Collins contract.They also lower their payroll slightly this year and still have Hunter or Bogdon as possible trades to lower it more

    i also realized that the bulls add 7 million in payroll here (though they gain a starter), and they still have to sign vucevic, dosonmu, and white and would be subject to the hard cap after the s&t.

    trade's great for us, though!

    i see daryl morey still has members of the press in his pocket. the sixers are totally screwed if harden just walks. they will not have any meaningful cap space and would be hoping for an MLE pickup to fill in for him. tobias harris expires this year, but maxey's rookie deal will also be over. they can't lose harden for nothing. would be a cataclysm.

    All true but even after this trade they would still be slightly under the cap
