I’d be sick if we offered Ayton the money we should’ve been giving Myles

One of the players I was afraid of the most every time the Pacers would suit up against Milwaukee. Salute

You’re not missing anything. This is an incompetent front office and you’re a witness to it

There’s a diehard Nets fan I’ve seen on here a few times and I can only imagine how he feels right now

Literally the only way they were gonna get him back. That’s up to you on if he’s worth it or not but he was going to fetch multiple max offers next season barring a disaster

Opening night of free agency 2019 will never be forgotten. Brogdon to Indiana (biggest Pacers acquisition of my lifetime to that point), Jimmy to Miami, then PG and Kawhi to LA at 2am.

Also a cautionary warning that all these moves are being completed and Cam Whitmore is only 20 years old. This team is going to be dangerous.

I get that, but I don’t think the Pels are ever gonna get enough out of Zion to ever reach that point. Dude got 70 games like once ever I think and I don’t even wanna think about the off court issues right now because frankly they make me uncomfortable. Pels best move is to move on barring a miracle

With the current iteration of their roster the only way they have a chance at even the play in is moving Zion to unlock Murphy and getting lucky that Fears and Queen can contribute as rookies. Hell if by any glory Zion is healthy maybe it works, I suppose. The west is *way* too stacked

I’ve been wondering what a team of Nikola Topic and any four players on an NBA court would look like for two years now

Wait, you’re trying to tell me trading for National Superior Basketball League legend Chris Duarte was a bad move? Sorry, but this is blasphemy. Unfollowed.

Yeah I didn’t have many questions on the defensive end. He was touted so highly off the bench because of it and his body vitals are eye opening. I just can’t help but wonder how far behind he is to an NBA offense if behind at all.

Also the Wizards having this good of a draft is hard to wrap my head around. Tre, Bub, Bilal, and Sarr make this team one of my favorite league pass teams for next year.

Do you think Bryant is going to be spending anytime in the G-League this season? I understand the San Antonio wing depth isn’t incredible but the dude was insanely raw for Arizona last year. I’m not sure how well he’ll be accompanying such a deep guard rotation and Wemby in his rookie year.
