That's absolutely hilarious! Seriously that shit was brutal but the early season is always super inconsistent and with these micro training camps we're bound to see crazy shit like this. We won't see what teams really are for a month or a little more. That's why all of the sky is falling declarations were so ridiculous.

I believe his mom died from COVID in May. And I think another family member as well.

Said KAT won't need surgery but that can't be a quick heal. GSW with the furious comeback to beat the Bulls by 1.

You read it wrong. Cavs blew out Philly. Knicks blew out Milwaukee.

I can't imagine that this is in the context of a James Harden trade. If it is, I hope Vulcan fires Olshey tomorrow.
What I would imagine is that Neil has a good gauge of how other GMs view all of our players because teams contact us with trade ideas and we contact teams with offers that they counter. Some of them probably include CJ... that's bound to happen. Neil's reality about CJ's value probably differs so far from that of other GMs that he has said something like he "staunchly rejected" the idea of trading CJ for what he's actually worth because Neil's idea of CJ's worth is so incredibly inflated but not to a completely baffling point.
If it was CJ and some young guys for Harden or CJ and Hoodie for Harden, I'm sure Neil would be like, "Finally someone gets it" and pull the trigger on that trade but the offers he probably gets for CJ are like expiring contracts Neil could buy out and a pick and Neil staunchly rejects those offers and at the same time reality.
