OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - July 2021

[riverman]

perhaps it was a bit harsh, apologies.

but come on man, you've been around long enough to parse out nonsense like that. there is 0 chance of mitchell getting traded the year his 5yr max kicks in. and you spoke of that like it was a fact.

If you go back to my original post about "if I were Philly I'd talk to the Jazz" post....you'd see it as speculation and that's all...fact is nobody around here knows shit about the inner workings of franchises....so yeah...it's water cooler talk about basketball...biggest problem with typed words is you can't hear how they're spoken...it's how you read something not how they type it more often than not..being an owner I figured D Wade might have some insight into it and he was the source

Domino.

 

[Hoopguru]

Domino.

you mean to be used in a trade with Blazers?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Wake up Neil!!

 

[tykendo]

Wake up Neil!!

I'm sure he's more up than if he used Viagra.

 

[B-Roy]

I remember when 2 million bought you into the first round.

maybe i have no idea, just thinking it's odd that Philly would spend 2 mil on a random pick for themselves.

maybe toronto wants a pick also?

 

[Strenuus]

If I'm Philly I trade him to the Jazz for Mitchell and Ingles

Ummm.... why on earth would the Jazz do that?

 

[tykendo]

disagreeing that donovan mitchell is asking for a trade out is not snark. it's just calling out fake news.

But i have heard & read the same things. He's only posting what he has seen or heard. Cut him some slack. Hammer the Dame trolls all you want.

What was the vet minimum at the time?

 

[tykendo]

What was the vet minimum at the time?

$577.396

 

[RR7]

 

[tykendo]

$577.396

and 37 cents

 

[RR7]

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That sounds promising. Maybe Neil can get a few of them.

I'm confused by where today's news will be posted...here or in the draft thread?

and Philly buying the 53rd pick is kind of a WTF moment. They already have 2 second round picks and have added a 3rd

Yeah, sorry, I added it here because I was thinking of the draft thread being about prospects more than the actual draft. But every thread in here is basically all one at this point, for the most part.

It’s crazy. Way too many threads covering the exact same things and people are getting confused about what another person has said.
At least I’m confused.

we need one draft day moves thread that isn't just about prospects or trade ideas. who wants to start it?

Dame began following this dude on twitter a week or so ago, fwiw.

I think he's from Philly but is part of Oakland media.

And he posted this:

$3M is the number I remember from PA's free-spending days.

can you explain the twitter logic to me so I know what that means

He’s the idiot saying Simmons is getting traded tonight, but he likes a tweet saying the return is going to suck.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Kuzma, Harrell and 22 for Buddy Hield seems imminent.

This would be hilarious as Harrell wanted to "stick it" to LAC, then he gets stuck in Sac.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

CJ for Mitchell confirmed.

Simmons is getting traded tonight. Watch.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Simmons is getting traded tonight. Watch.

Makes no sense to trade him tonight unless someone overpays
