He'd have to play some 4 with Giannis playing some 3.

Maybe?

Otto Porter would be fantastic. Teague would be useful.

How many roster spots do we have open? Has to be at least two right?

He’s done.

Been a negative impact guy for years now.

Maybe it's more a lifestyle move for him heading to Miami.

I could see Riley implying they will but really just a cheap 3 month rental.

Why are the spurs buying out LMA? They are still in the playoff picture?

"Welcome to Miami, Victor!"
"Thanks! Now, about that contract."
"South Beach, baby!"
"Yes. I was thinking about a lot of money, and..."
"SPRING BREAK!"

I know Miami didn't have to give up much to get Oladipo, but this feels like a case of subtraction by addition. Every time I've watched Oladipo over the last two years, he's constantly chucking. I think he think he's the guy that was All-NBA a few years back. But he's not.

Part of what makes the Heat tough to defend is their ball movement. I think Oladipo could end up bogging that offense down. As a Bucks fan, I'd rather the Heat get Oladipo instead of Lowry.

Jeff Teague and Olynyk would be great. Is that possible?

He's friends with the great Patty Mills, who I believe is coming off contract. You gotta dream big.

Teague would an excellent add for us.

No idea why the Celtics would waive Teague but if they do...

I didn't say DATING questions! I know all about dating. You just say, hey baby I have a good-paying job and a house, and the girls love it. Until they find out your wife and kids live with you.

Oh, my mistake- just reread it. Yes, look they naturally have a fairly high sugar content but they're actually quite good for you. They're rather high in fibre, surely a positive for a gentleman of your advancing age.

This joke would be even better if fiber were spelled correctly.

He was in the deal to the Magic, apparently is getting bought out.

Dipo is a low risk move for Miami and gives them his bird rights if he adapts to "the culture."

Robinson, Crowder & Dragic caused massive issues for us last playoffs.

Robinson likely gets benched for Oladipo. Herro/Dragic’s likely get reduced. Crowder is gone with no floor spacer in his place.

Don’t see how this helps them.

I could swear it's April 9th or something like that this year. Can't remember where I read it and I'm too lazy to look it up again. Pretty sure it only affects players who were on someone else's roster previously this season, so all the buyout candidates obviously but not an IT or Mayo type.

The Bucks have to get to the minimum roster size about a week before that anyway, so we'll see something. It's probably safe to assume they'll wait until they have ~26 games left because I think that's the cut-off when they can fit two prorated minimum salaries under the tax threshold. I think that's after the LAC game next week.

Daniel Theis - one night his missing a wide-open game-winning three, and the next day he's being traded.
