Notice OFFICIAL Around The NBA Thread- November 2020

[illmatic99]

Uh-oh!

Maybe Dame made a phone call.

They called Bogdan a small forward?

 

[calvin natt]

Golden State should swap Wiggins for him. They could actually use Horford.

Myers has loved Horford forever. Loves him. This wouldn’t surprise me at all

 

[B-Roy]

Feel like we would not hear about this if it wasn't a serious injury.

 

[B-Roy]

Apparently it was an ACL tear again...

 

[Natebishop3]

Apparently it was an ACL tear again...

CJ McCollum come on down!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Wow, that would certainly derail the Warriors again.

 

[THE HCP]

Ball to the Dubs

Where’d you see that?

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Apparently it was an ACL tear again...

That's a shame, even if it makes our season a little easier.

 

[RipCityWarrior]

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Apparently it was an ACL tear again...

Well I guess they might hang on to Wiggins then...

 

[BlazerBeav]

Where’d you see that?

The first report on twitter, retweeted by Barstool prior to Shahms and Woj tweeting about it - which sure seems like some real inside info.

 

[THE HCP]

 

[illmatic99]

Damn, that sucks.

 

[Hoopguru]

Damn, that sucks.

Man, thats the pits. Like Klay, my youngest son played junior high football with him. Very nice family.

Poor Ariza going to Detroit.....wasteland.

This makes sense because Detroit was interviewing a LOT of players that were projected around #16.

 

[B-Roy]

LOL. Fertitta destroying the Rockets. Clearly they are rebuilding now.

 

[MickZagger]

I think he’s in the restaurant industry. Might be selling the team soon

I wonder if Detroit buys him out...
If so, he might be a nice FA target to bring back to Portland. It would be legal since he's being routed through Hou

 

[BlazerBeav]

Might be? He owns Landry's - which owns:

Morton's The Steakhouse; Rainforest Cafe; Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.; McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks; Saltgrass Steak House; Claim Jumper; Chart House; The Oceanaire; Mastro's Restaurants; Grotto Restaurants, The Boathouse Restaurants [25] and Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse

Was just texting that to someone else. That would be great!

 

[illmatic99]

I don't get the reasoning.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ok, someone help me out.

How are the Rockets buying a pick for 4.2 million? I thought the yearly max was 3 million?

 

[lawai'a]

Golden nugget casino too

 

[Mediocre Man]

Trying to shed money because his restaurant businesses lost a ton because of COVID

Casinos, resorts, and I do believe he used to own a big chunk of the UFC.

So not using the MLE then? Woulda made more financial sense to just pick at 16 and lock into a rookie deal and let Ariza go in a trade later.

Needs cash now. Media slamming him in Houston
