Spoiler: The Grind is an after hours club in Ibiza

This is great lol

**** me the Kings are a depressing basketball team. In just two years they went from third in the west with Fox, Sabonis, Monk, Murray and the Red Mamba to Lavine, DDR and now WB?

If you simulated this **** a thousand times it might be about the worst outcome they could’ve planned for.

What do we think of the Mavs as a trade partner?

Looks like Cooper Flagg will play a lot of SF for them and they have a bunch of wings but few guards until Kyrie comes back (they also have a roster crunch and could use an open spot or two).

Thinking about something where Kuzma goes to the Kings with Dallas involved.

Expect Flagg to start at small forward next to Anthony Davis and a center and to be used frequently on the ball; the Mavericks should be trying to find Flagg on fast breaks as often as possible.

“The Russell Westbrook Sweepstakes”? Can I trade it in for the cash value if I win?

Bucks:
Klay Thompson
PJ Washington

Dallas:
Monk
Ajax

Sacto:
Kuzma
(Sign Westbrook to replace Monk)

Can’t imagine we’d get PJ for Kuz, but maybe Dallas REALLY wants to get off of Klay’s corpse. This deal would save them almost 10 million + all the tax savings. Monk becomes their Kyrie fill in and then 6th man? No idea

If this were TPIR, the taxes on the prize are worth more than the prize.

This is interesting but the Bucks would almost want to send PJ to another team since GA and BP will already cover all the minutes at PF and it doesn’t seem like PJ could play SF. Klay providing spacing for GA would be unreal (one of the few trades I’ve seen where it is better for the spacing than simply giving all the SF minutes to GTJ and AJG) and he’s an actual SF but I’m assuming at this point his defense is pretty bad at 35 and after his injuries. Although he’d likely be a better team defender than Kuz, just probably too slow to make the rotations or stay in front of anyone.
