Earlier today, the Sacramento Kings wished Anthony Tolliver a happy 32nd birthday on Twitter.

The team later waived him on the same day.

Anyone know what drug violation Monta has been suspended for? If it's PED's I can dig his desire to re-up his body for his career, but I'd suspect it's weed or agent orange or something like that though.

So...Boston & Philly are likely swapping their picks.

EXCELLENT move from Philly, and quite clever for Boston if they can nab a bunch of picks in it.

Boston keeps Isiah Thomas but adds Josh Jackson to the group, they sign Hayward, huge team in the East. Still need a big though, they have assets to target a player.

Philly's core turns into Embiid, Simmons, Covington, Saric and Fultz, which is really exciting indeed. If Colangelo can pull off a Fultz coup, would be HUGE.

They must have good news about IT2 not needing surgery.

If they pass on Fultz but then IT2 still gets surgery ...

5 days is the penalty for 3rd time testing positive for weed.

I believe it's something to do with this end result;

Monta went for a C-Cup I see. Woulda looked better with D's for mine.

Boston looks like they are going to be a real challenge to the Cavs if they can pull off the rumored trade for Butler.

I think they need to sign Hayward and trade for Butler to be a challenge and even then it will be tough. I personally think they aren't trading for Butler though. Boston doesn't leak though. Ainge/Zarren keep things close to the vest. I believe they are building for 2021. They'll have Jaylen Brown/Josh Jackson and potentially top 2 picks next year. Horford will be off his contract and will have let IT walk. I expect they'll have it set up to have lots of cap room to add one or 2 max vets to that core over the years. I don't think Ainge wants to contend now with Warriors.

This trade for Boston and Philly could be good. I think Boston doesn't see enough of a difference between Fultz and Ball compared to who Boston values at three. The only way Danny loses this trade is if the top two guys are out of this world.

I heard there's also the potential to trade down with Sac, for the 5 and 10 picks. So who knows.

I knew this was gonna be a crazy off season for the league, just didnt know it would start so quickly lol. The Warriors meantime have to worry about whether or not to sign Javale lol

IT is a keeper. if they want him to go they would have gotten Fultz already. If Fultz is what people claim he is , he is much better to lead a contender than IT.

IT and Fultz could have played together. I don't see Boston giving IT a max but who knows.

His max is on the level of Klay and Draymond I think. So I think Boston signs him, even though the may deal him at some point.
