Move over, Danny. Weaver doing work.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

This is what Weaver should've been doing for years.

Did Hartford have this on one of his 200 bingo sheets?

4 2nds to duck tax and get Hield? If Embiid is back for the playoffs, fabulous deadline.

Love it for Philly

Sneaky good trade for Detroit. Can't complain about getting a SRP to take on a guy who will definitely deserve playing time in Detroit.

I love it for both. Surprised a better team didn't outbid Detroit except I'm also not.

I have to admit I TRULY HATE seeing "read on Twitter." First, I can't read them at work because Twitter is blocked on the work computers. Second, why no just cut and paste the content rather than just the twitter link? For that matter, it's not even called Twitter anymore.
