Exclusive Around the NBA: February, 2026! (1 Viewer)

[Chris Craig]

Its clear no one wanted the guys we were willing to deal/ wanted to move to make space (Grant, Williams, Murray, Rupert, Thybulle).

Disappointing.

Now we will have to waive Rupert (maybe bring him back as a two way, convert Sidy, and either send Love to Gleague for the remainder of the season or use the injury exception to convert him.

That or we are just planning to send Sidy and Love to G league the remainder of the season and shrugging it off.

Vit was a good get. I give Cronin credit for that, but he put himself in a hard place with some of these contracts that aren't panning out.

Dame certainly can't be happy.

 

[Strenuus]

we need him to win games. we're not tanking

Winning means nothing this year for the team. We are a bad team. Build for the future and get rid of the mid players

the way i look at it, joe thinks summer gives us better options. playing in the playoffs enhances player's value. im not disappointed by the quiet deadline. it guarantees a very active summer

I don't know what is or isn't clear right now. What you're saying is the most plausible explanation but you have to give some credence to the idea that Dundon is finished with this front office and wants whoever his new front office is to make any moves going forward.

It's just a weird time for our frnachise. I would have thought we were either going to aquire some win now players to make a run with Dame or move most of the vets to build around Deni with young guys.

Oh well.

Joe might not be here come summer

 

[inconceivable]

Joe might not be here come summer

the press conference (if any) should give us an idea if he's staying or leaving

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Cam Thomas got waived.

 

[Chris Craig]

Cam Thomas got waived.

Like we have a spot to sign him.

We could waive Rupert or buy out both Rupert and Murray and sign Thomas and convert Sidy.

Cam would have to want to come here too. Why come here when he could go to a contender?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why would there be a press conference? We didn't make any moves...after Vit

 

[inconceivable]

Why would there be a press conference. We didn't make any moves.

i thought they do it after every deadline to update the fans of the state of the team, much like after draft night.

We won't have as many mid contracts to attach to deals. Basically Murray and scoot.

The others are bigger dollar salaries.

It will be interesting to hear his reasoning if we do have one.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well maybe a bright side to this is our guys might play better now, without the worry of being traded in their minds.

Oh I wasn’t suggesting we sign him. Just kind of crazy how low chuckers are valued these days

I think we were probably trying to eject Grant with Murray or Rupert attached and it was a no go.

 

[BBert]

Well that was a wild mish-mash of mids and no-names. Who are the 3 best players that got moved?

 

[GoZers]

AGAIN. Goes back to the question: What is this team trying to do this year? Since we know they aren’t trying to make the playoffs are they going to start sitting guys and get tankalicious or are they going to do what they do best which is kinda be shitty kinda be playoff kinda not care or what? Pick a lane Cronin.

Who says we aren’t trying to make the playoffs? That’s been the goal all year.

 

[GoZers]

I sure hope not.

 

[kjironman1]

Agree, super nerdy. It was a long time ago!

Is that why your moniker is Ant. Egg

 

[Everything Beagle]

I sure hope not.

You can only lose so much.

 

[Quatro44]

You can only lose so much.

There’s and old saying in sports, winning breeds winning.

 

[KingSpeed]

I sure hope not.

We should make the play-in but we want to climb to 8th so we have two shots at playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Simons started for Bulls tonight.

 

[andalusian]

There’s and old saying in sports, winning breeds winning.

Also in dog shows

 

[BigGameDamian]

Cam Thomas got waived.

Too bad we don’t have a spot.

 

[GoZers]

If they wanted to make the playoffs they could have improved the team this week beyond the one new guy

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[RR7]

Don't know who this guy is

 

[THE HCP]

Zubac to the pacers. That is a huge move for indy. Wouldnt have minded him Joe, just putting that out there.

So any time ANY player is traded it’s assumed WE had a shot at him?
