The more I look at it, the more willing I'd probably be in taking KAT for Ant and Nurk if we can't find a better fit. We'd finally get an all-star next to Dame and it didn't workout, we can flip KAT later.

If we can somehow get Draymond too, it could work.

How well do you think Dray would work here? They run SO MUCH more movement in G-St and he is good at facilitating that and hitting cutters. That wouldn't exist nearly as much here and he would end up stuck in a corner as a brick-laying 3-pt shooter.

Draymond with Scoot and Shae would be nasty.

Yeah I’m just worried about adding KAT to an already terrible defensive team.

You should be. But if we can't flip Ant and Nurk for something else that makes sense, might as well roll the dice on a former all-star coming from a terrible franchise. He can only get better.
 
Patty Mills honours Indigenous cultures with Brooklyn mural

A five-storey mural celebrating Indigenous cultures has been unveiled in New York after being commissioned by Australian basketballer Patty Mills’s foundation and his team the Brooklyn Nets.

The spectacular mural on the side of a school building in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park was created by artist Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez and depicts a First Nations woman and a Native American woman against a background of water.

What he do?

In the world of professional basketball, there was a player named Dejounte who found himself facing a peculiar predicament. Dejounte's exceptional skills on the court were often overshadowed by his unsavory habit of consistently refusing to flush his dumps, creating an atmosphere of discomfort and disdain within the team. The reasons why no one liked him extended far beyond his poor bathroom etiquette, delving into the realms of hygiene, team dynamics, and professional respect.

Dejounte, a rising star in the league, had a reputation for his prodigious talent and athleticism. However, off the court, his actions left much to be desired. His habit of leaving unflushed turds in the locker room and even on the team plane became a source of disgust and frustration among his teammates. The pungent odor and unsightly mess left behind after his visits to the bathroom created an unpleasant environment, dampening the camaraderie that is crucial in a team setting.

Despite being repeatedly confronted about his behavior, Dejounte adamantly denied any wrongdoing, placing the blame on faulty plumbing or even accusing his teammates of creating the mess themselves. This persistent refusal to take responsibility for his actions only exacerbated the animosity towards him. His teammates, who relied on trust and unity both on and off the court, found it increasingly difficult to maintain respect for someone who consistently disregarded basic hygiene norms.

The effects of Dejounte's behavior extended beyond mere inconvenience. The unprofessionalism displayed through his refusal to address the issue eroded team morale and cohesion. Trust, a cornerstone of any successful team, became strained as teammates began to question Dejounte's commitment to the collective success. His actions hinted at a lack of discipline, accountability, and respect for the shared spaces and responsibilities that come with being a professional athlete.

As word spread throughout the league about Dejounte's unseemly habits, his reputation suffered a blow. Other players and teams began to view him with skepticism, questioning his professionalism and dedication. These concerns went beyond the realm of personal hygiene; they spoke to his character and ability to be a reliable teammate.

Ultimately, the reasons why no one liked Dejounte stemmed from the combination of his disregard for basic hygiene practices, his refusal to take responsibility, and the negative impact his behavior had on team dynamics. In a competitive and closely-knit environment like professional basketball, the ability to function as a cohesive unit is paramount. Dejounte's actions undermined the trust and respect required to build successful team dynamics, leaving his teammates and peers struggling to reconcile his athletic prowess with his personal shortcomings.

In conclusion, Dejounte's persistent refusal to flush his dumps, particularly in the locker room and on the team plane, caused widespread disdain and frustration among his teammates and those in the basketball community. His lack of consideration for hygiene, denial of responsibility, and the resulting strain on team dynamics contributed to the unfavorable perception of him. While his on-court talent may have been undeniable, his unprofessional behavior off the court cast a shadow over his career as a professional basketball player.
 
So after Ainge took all Twolves 600 first round picks, now he got Collins for Rudy Gay?

I don't know what the fuck this is but it had me laughing pretty hard. So is this just a joke or do you actually have a credible source about Murray's toilet habits?

Wtf Gay and a second?

That's it?

Now this is the kinda shit that pisses me off if Cronin can't get deals.

Well..... they don't need guards and we don't have any contracts to trade. If this is a salary dump, we couldn't accommodate it.

That's cool and all but when Dame is thinking about leaving I don't think it's going to be a lack of understanding why moves couldn't get done that makes him want to leave; just that win now deals haven't been done here while others have elsewhere. I don't think Dame will have to be angry at Joe to request a trade, I think he'll just need to understand that the team has chosen its future over his desire to win as much as possible right now.

Always an excuse. Sigh.

Before, we didn't have assets. Now we dont have capspace. We coulda tried to open up room if we had some creativity to create an unbalanced trade.

The excuse is they didn't want Collins. I think everything we've heard about this FO is that they're extremely picky. It's likely Collins is/was never a target.

Not saying that's right or wrong. I think a valid criticism is that this FO is too risk averse. (Sound familiar?)

When diving into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of professional basketball, one often uncovers a hidden tapestry of individuals who play crucial roles in the success of the teams. Among these unsung heroes are the janitors, whose access to intimate spaces and privileged knowledge can often provide invaluable insights. Over time, I've developed an extraordinary source network of janitors, each possessing a treasure trove of anecdotes, insider information, and perspectives that shed light on the inner workings of NBA teams. Here are a few other tidbits I've picked up:
  • Rasheed used to love looking at guys next to him at urinals and saying "what's up little man" to their member.
  • Detlef Schrempf was banned from eating sauerkraut at the Sonics facility because it gave Shawn Kemp the runs. It led to a few altercations.
  • In addition to the gun, Gilbert Arenas used to love bringing a grappling hook to the locker room and yelling "I'm batman you piece of shit" to his coach Eddie Jordan.
I hope this glimpse into my source network piques your interest and showcases the untapped potential that can be found in the unlikeliest of places. As a journalist, my goal is to bring unique perspectives and narratives to light, and the janitors of NBA teams have certainly played a significant role in achieving that.

wut?

I don't want to stand in the way of your melt-down...but....the reality of this trade is simple and that's the 40M in cap-space Utah will have on July 6

Atlanta gets to dump a player they had soured on to the tune of saving 72M in payroll. And they get a 25M TPE plus a 2nd round pick attached to those savings. The Blazers could have offered Simon and two 2nd's and the Hawks would have pretty clearly turned that down because Simon has the same deal as Collins and Atlanta values that TPE and saved salary

No meltdown. Yet. Just bored of the inactivity.
