    They can’t play in Toronto, so how about Seattle for a season?

    They've chosen Tampa.

    He would be perfect in a Dame/CJ/Covington or Hood/Ibaka/Nurkic starting 5.

    Collins/Trent/Kanter/Hood or Covington/Simons off the bench. Is the lack of picking up a bench PG an Olshey endorsement for Simons getting those 10mpg?

    there have been a lot of questions about Ibaka's actual birth date. He could easily be older

    I had no clue. That was quick. Swap divisions with the Wizards for the year based on travel?

    Just heard about the trade. I'm honestly shocked. I didn't think Olshey was going to use the TPE and I was salty about it. I was wrong. Kudos to Olshey for a really good deal!

    the only minor downer about Kanter is that the playoffs and Ramadan happen at the same time. Maybe that won't be an issue this year

    Ramadan shifts every year since it's based on the lunar calendar. When he was here before (2019), Ramadan spanned May 5-June 3rd. For 2021, Ramadan ends May 11; whereas this delayed season's playoffs don't begin until May 22nd.

    This was a fantastic deal! I was hoping we would get rid of Hezonja and to get back Kanter for him is unreal.

    Another minor gripe about Kanter is that when Olshey is asked a question about him he says his name ‘Enes’ a bunch of times and the way he says it sounds too much like ‘Penis’.

    And that really bothers me.

    So, Ol-Shay needs to come up with a nickname.

    Oh I see someone already posted this and you think Ibaka is better. In this NBA, maybe? But back, then Grant was a better fit for the NBA.

    He wanted to play but was shafted by Neil. That guy really plays with heart. I'm glad he is back.
