I could've pretty much guaranteed something was going down this morning because I had a ****ton of work to do. Guess I'll be staying late tonight........

All this panic maneuvering at the deadline just reinforces what a lot of us were begging them to do in the offseason. Should have just traded the damn AJ Johnson pick in a Brook/Bobby/Khris/Pat deal when it still had value. But no, we have to cling to all the "championship gang" guys until their value hits absolute rock-bottom, then pay a premium to flip them into equally bad players just a couple years younger. At least Horst cashed out at the right time on Jrue, I guess.

We’re getting another deal with either PDX or Houston involved.

Why not both?

MKE: Timelord, Wiggins, Adams, Banton, 3 lesser OKC 1sts
PDX: Jeff Green, MarJon Beauchamp, pick(s) via HOU
OKC: Portis, MKE '31 1st
HOU: Lopez

Then, assuming Pat/2nd for Martin happens:

Lillard / Martin / Rollins
Wiggins / Green
Kuzma / Jackson / Trent
Giannis / Banton / Prince
Timelord / Adams

If yes he says this

The Bucks, who have been continuously linked to Jimmy Butler as a dark horse destination, now can create a trade package for him while staying below the second apron threshold:

Butler = $48.7 million

Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, Marjon Beauchamp = $47.7 million

He’s the new Sam Amico. He aggregates everyone else’s stuff and writes it in way that you think he’s doing the reporting.

Yeah I mean who tf knows at this point but I just can't see having both Kuzma and Bobby on the same team working at all.

I'd keep Bobby then. He's the better player.

Good luck getting Wiggins from OKC.

I'd do this in an instant even though I really don't like Williams.

I'm talking myself into going "just rip the band-aid off" mode. Now that Khris is gone send Pat, Brook, and Bobby on their way also.

In the TikTok era, it's called "stitching". When I was a kid we called it "stealing people's **** and passing it off as your own."

I think that I am fine with Pat and Brook. At this point I don't think you can just ship out all of our bigs, and you might as well keep the one that isn't closer to 40 than 30.

Yeah I mean obviously their replacements would have to be addressed through said trades otherwise it doesn't work.

Capela + Bogdan or Hunter works contractually at least for Bobby + Brook + Pat.

Not sure what would or wouldn’t be worth doing there.

We're trading for Michael Redd and Coby White.
