Are we cutting Vanderbilt, Spellman, and Nowell?


Maybe we're stashing Bolmaro with one of those picks? I would hate to lose Vanderbilt.

I have to watch and play more foreign movies and games. Too many players learning English form that. I want to be able to speak Spanish and Nipponese and ish too.

I’ll trade them all for any future pick from any team.


put them all in one basket with some players and try to get a PF...Gordon, Randle, Bobby Portis. It'd be interesting to see what Atlanta does with John Collins..they just drafted another PF. We might be able to do Culver, JJ, and those late 2nd rders for Collins.

Wait, is he a UFA?? We BETTER bring him back


Sounds like we didn’t give him a qualifying offer, which means no chance he’s coming back.

Beasley needs to pick and take his clown show with him - wherever it is ... no ones fault but his own

Why do you think Randle would be a fit here?

Best player from all those trades outside Dlo, a better shooter than even Dlo, gave up that pick to Denver, absolutely needed 2 to 3 better shooters on this team and having him almost felt like it could be enough alone to make the difference. It royally sucks to just lose him, lose the bird rights, walk away. Then draft a 29% shooter. My hope for the team is a bit devastated by it really. Hopefully things look better by the end of the week.

"In talks" doesn't mean the trade is finalized yet. I hope not yet.

Great PnR, now a much better jump shooter, so also a PnPop threat...great off rebder. Good handles and passing skills for a big.

Getting 25 and 28 for Rubes and 17 is a good return too, value wise.

Wonder if we try to package those up with JJ for something?

what the hell would they want with having 25,28,30? Screw it. Trade up with the 30/17 and throw in a future to get a second shot at someone good or trade out completely. They should ask for Oubre as well.
