Sixers going to have Horford at the All star break, while Presti has 16 TPE's playing.
:lol:
Who do you want to see take the court 1st - TPE or CC (Cash Considerations)? :)


I've heard the new Jazz player "Future Considerations" could be in the running for a 10-day

This Bogdon situation may be totally unrelated to the Hayward one but they certainly both seem to be dragging out together.

No need to make a rash decision if the Kings match.

I'd love to get Hield on the Hornets as I feel we have sufficient playmaking with Hayward, Ball and Devonte' Graham. We need a complement who won't pound the ball into the floor and just load up and shoot. Hield is an elite sniper. Bad contract but we have Ainge motivated and Kupchak motivated, 2 great GM's working together.

Seems to me that Bogdan was pretty pissed if he didn’t give them an opportunity to work on a sign and trade before signing the sheet. Halliburton was a great pick. This whole Bogdan saga was mismanaged about four different ways.

Yes that’s Woj in two tweets. Breaks the news, does the spin he has to do for getting the news to break.

Great offseason for the Hawks. Curious to see what will happen with their young players.

I'm sorry but its laughable to call Buddy and Bagley part of a core. Or young in the case of Buddy.

The core is Fox. And hopefully Halliburton and Bagley down the road.

The most advantageous thing for the Heat would have been for Bam to wait until next year, so why couldn't Riley make it happen?

How many situations are remaining where Team X has way too many Position Y and absolutely needs Position Z?

The most disadvantageous would be Bam demanding a trade to a team that going to give him a max extension . Riley avoided that and still have a path to max Giannis.

Utah has too many Y and needs a defensive wing/forward (I'd like Hollis-Jefferson if he hasn't signed yet and we still have a roster slot).

Why would that happen though?

Riley tells Bam , you get the deal next year we just want to have the chance to use the capspace first .

What injury would stop him getting a max deal though? . He would have to die basically
