I’m willing to bet having Dame and Giannis on our roster would make filling out the rotation pretty easy. It would create the most interest in our team from FAs maybe ever.
Well, if they did that trade I think what we would get coming back to us, to make salaries match is Giannis (obviously), Brook Lopez and George Hill. That would mean we would have Dame starting at PG, we would probably need to use the entire MLE to get a starting SG, Ariza would likely start at SF, Giannis PF, BroLo C, Hill off of the bench at both guard spots, hopefully Hood to backup on the wing, maybe Wenyen backing up Giannis, hopefully we get some contributions from Nas and Ant, maybe as some in here have said Melo would come back at the vet min plus the non-bird exception (an additional 25%) giving us some quality offense off the bench at both forward positions and then the rest of the team would get filled with ring chasers willing to take the min. Oh and I guess since we'd be desperate for quality off of the bench, we might even go into the tax by using our bird rights on Hassan (although that might be tricky because that would most likely mean we could only use the tax payer MLE instead of the full one to get a quality starting SG unless we just went small with Dame and Hill). After all of that we better hope that we make a serious run at a championship and that Giannis and Dame become besties so we get to re-sign Giannis to a super max.

I was a little slow on that one. I thought you were asking which coach would be the most likely to do that, not the coach who already did.
That’s a little overboard I feel like but I’m with you in the fact that getting Giannis would be huge. I’d rather take Collins out of that trade. If MIL isn’t interested than so be it.
It’s embarrassing.

3 playoff series wins (Rockets ‘14, Clippers ‘16, Nuggets ‘19) without home court advantage. Tell me another coach in the NBA right now that has that on his resume.
Not really, Clippers had one of the biggest chokes in recent sports history and looked so shook late in the game. After all the shit they talked all year, they brought it on themselves.
Depends - is Carmelo still available?
Well that's what happens when you drink and tweet.
That said, the biggest shit-talker, Pat Bev, was +4 for his 30 minutes, so you can't lay this at his feet. Lou Will was a plus as well, so the pre-Kawhi Clips did their part.
I'm not really a fan of Paul George but to actually call him a loser?
Welcome. Glad you are here.
