After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

Im very happy and exited about trade. This could be better for me only if they dumped at least 1 contract to Cavs. Wiggins is #1 guy I wanted.

I happen to think you guys got an absolutely steal here. Any thoughts on what happens with Pekovic now? It seems like he could net you guys a good return.

I think we keep him for at least next season. I think Flip will not necessarily be shopping him but will be listening very closely on offers. His value right now is low after last season but I think he could have a truly monster season next year and reestablish himself and his trade value. I think Flip will have an eye on Gorgui eventually being the starter and might look to move Pek in the future.

I would have given Love plus value for Wiggins alone. You guys rocked that deal IMHO.
