Pacers traded for Siakam with 3 1st. Interesting development, I was expecting him going to 76er in free agency this summer but also means OKC not get Siakam for this year's run.

Tragic.

Damn that really, really, really sucks. He was only 46 years old. My heartfelt sympathy for his family and friends.

Jalen, ya say?

I’m still looking for solid info on the Raptors cuts.

EDIT: likely Garrett Temple, but the deal isn’t finalized yet.

Any details on what happened to him?
No doubt life is short...everything is gravy from this point on. No more guaranteed days!

Yeah me too brother - I'm around that age so makes me appreciate the breath I take a little more - That and I lost my mum in June last year, she was only 61 so I know from the families perspective that it's a massive heart break that one never really recovers from

Will Bruce Brown be rerouted in 3rd team?

P.S. TOR have waived Koloko

Jaden would have been called for atleast 2 fouls in a play like this

McDaniels couldn't have been cut.

The Jazz are back in the game.

I remember lot of us on the board initially interested Jalen Williams in 2022 draft...iirc he was initially projected to be a non-lottery pick and we thought Wolves might have a chance but then dude was rising through charts as we were approaching draft day and we didn't have a chance. Looks like he has already become a good player just in his 2nd season

As a fantasy basketball player I was very interested in him for this season. He started very slow. Way below expectations. He's turned it around in the last 15 games or so. He's been playing amazing for that time and hopefully will continue for the remainder of the season except for when he's playing the Wolves.

Guess their championship calibre new starting lineup isn't as amazing as it was hyped up to be.
