So we were converting our top 4 protected 2027 Lakers pick to a swap so that we can open up 2026 to trade? I mean it'd be hard to say no from the Jazz. We gotta get off the churn carousel at some point, and Kessler would be great to have at that point, but if the Lakers are desperate then...

Can you trade dead money down the line? I forget. Could the Bucks hypothetically dump the contract dues for the final two years in three years?

I have read it other places, it is funny seeing the number of people talking about the Pacers doing a one year tank. The team that has never tanked and takes pride in that is not going to do it the very year after a game 7 finals run, even if Hali is injured and they lost Turner

Damn, nice for Milwaukee to preserve their draft capital, but I can't imagine what their tax bill is going to be. 5 more years of stretched Lillard

I think it is a Jaylen Brown legacy year, the core of Brown/White/Hauser/Pritchard filled in with pieces and some winning pedigree could still be play-in in this Eastern Conference. The Warriors 2020 tank off was greatly benefitted by a Draymond Green who is willing to mail it in without...

I bet the Raptors are trying next season, though I guess the Ujiri regime change means that previous moves don't matter. Hornets I think are trying. I think it'll be us, the Nets, and the Wizards as the bottom 3. Probably some team that flames out, but I feel pretty good about us being in the...

I was just complaining I wanted a trade finally... but not this

And 30+ gave us Jimmy Butler, Isaiah Thomas, Bojan Bogdanovic, Chandler Parsons, etc. One of the most distributed drafts I can imagine, while also being a pretty strong draft (6 All-NBA guys, some good role players)

Collier, Clayton Jr, Bailey, Markkanen, Kessler

Chicago it's just hard to imagine on the good end of a lopsided trade

Dumars did imply that they offered the same package to everyone starting at #9 and they didn't get a bite until Atlanta at #13. I think most of those teams were in love with the guy they took, but it was such a lopsided trade they missed out on

As someone from what is maybe the least religious country in the world who came out to Texas for grad school and have lived in California and Utah since, at least no one here has tried to "talk with the spirit" to me here. It's a weird place, but at least as an outsider so were Austin and the...

I will say that Kessler showed no, if not negative, progression from years 1 to 2. He showed really bad passiveness and some bad mental fortitude that I would say had consensus on him in the mud. And now we are talking about being happy if we can get him in a $100m/4 contract. I am a huge...

Right about 15

ESPN is the Fox News of sports media. It's not news reporting, it's "entertainment" that makes me question what people find entertaining. They don't even seem to try much about correct reporting

Do you have a timestamp?

The Hawks have their $25.2M trade exception that expires on July 6th. They also seem to be ready for some push-in after acquiring Porzingis and the East falling apart around them. Seems like the Nets Cam Johnson would be an easy choice for both teams if they want. But I wonder if there is any...

Back to back years with the weirdest rookie news story that centered on grooming accusations. Not saying either or both are or aren't, not close enough to either story, but weird to have it happen again

I wonder if there is reform in the ability players have in manipulating where they go from this? If Ace ends up here it may change the way other teams feel even deciding on prospects and maybe they give punishments if a player threatens to just not show up if drafted. I know this has always...

I mean I don't necessarily believe the reporting that Ace is "excited" to be here. Ownership and management of course are going to say that and Ace is at least not going to go on record trashing this situation. But I just need him to be excited to play in the NBA and we are the team that drafted...
