OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JULY 2023

[inconceivable]

For what/whom?

 

[inconceivable]

See, I would’ve done 7/Ant for OG and Dame probably would’ve stayed but you can’t give up 3/Ant for OG. That’s stupid. So Dame’s gone.

Even knowing what you know now? Shaedon and Ant for OG? I wouldn't do that trade if I were the Blazers

 

[maxiep]

My guess is Cam Payne is a salary cap move. SA is under the cap, they can take his $6.5MM expiring salary, and they get a little bonus for their trouble. Not a back backup PG for them.

I wouldn't do that trade with Bea Arthurs GM.

Do you want to improve your vertical leap 10"??

Bring your own personal trampoline with you wherever you go!

it's a cap move for both teams. Phoenix needs to get below the 2nd apron and the Spurs need to stay above the salary floor

 

[andalusian]

For what/whom?

Cap relief

 

[wizenheimer]

seems a little strange to have Ayton, Eubanks, and Bol at C

or maybe it just seems strange to a Blazer fan used to half-time Nurkic as the only C

 

[PCmor7]

Just saw the tweet. The Suns have two players remaining from their 2021 finals team: Booker and Ayton.

 

[Propagandist]

The real question is: can you challenge a flop?

 

[Chris Craig]

The real question is: can you challenge a flop?

No

 

[Cugel]

Suns have to develop some chemistry and fast.

 

[Chris Craig]

For what/whom?

A future 2nd

 

[THE HCP]

Suns have to develop some chemistry and fast.

Or what, they'll only win 53 games?

 

[Cugel]

Or what, they'll only win 53 games?

If they don’t win a ring before KD is toast that will go down as a terrible terrible trade.

 

[THE HCP]

If they don’t win a ring before KD is toast that will go down as a terrible terrible trade.

I guess. Only one team wins a year. They definitely are going for it. Maybe nort being able to acquire as much roster depth as they needed would be the real reason. When you roll the dice, you are taking chances obviously.
They weren't going to win it BEFORE the trade, so why not go for it.

Even knowing what you know now? Shaedon and Ant for OG? I wouldn't do that trade if I were the Blazers

I meant if we had gotten the 7th pick this year.

David Vanderpool signed on as assistant coach with the Wizards today..he's bouncing around...did one year with the Nets

I liked him when he was here.

And they likely won't

 

[THE HCP]

I liked him when he was here.

Damn good coach. Good dude! His son is heading to FAU for hoops this fall. Happy for him.
His last season with us, the summer before, he said he left his interview with the Magic assuming he had the new head coaching job…. Changed their minds last minute. quality pick up by the Wiz.

Parody warning: below needs green font (at minimum)

 

[PCmor7]

Brooks needing a bullet-proof vest to defend against Ja.

 

[Chris Craig]

Morant talking about his gun on social media? Has he learned nothing.

 

[Natebishop3]

Time to suspend him for the rest of the season.

 

[Sloth]

Get him out of the league. Doesn't deserve to make millions being a moron.

 

[Tince]

Is this even real? I don't think Brooks has used Twitter in years.

People should do a little fact checking before sharing stuff.

 

[Tince]

Time to suspend him for the rest of the season.

Even if it's a fake tweet that he never made?

 

[Natebishop3]

Even if it's a fake tweet that he never made?

Yup! Mostly because I think he should have been suspended for the full season anyway.

 

[Tince]

Yup! Mostly because I think he should have been suspended for the full season anyway.

Going to have to strongly disagree with this take.
