So what you're saying is the KAT for Bam trade is back on the table?

I’ve made a few moves already that gives me decent depth off the rip while still having $600+ cap.

Considering I currently have no true go to player on my roster no player/position will be overlooked. Willing to go the distance aNd have plenty of load to blow

Open for early negotiation.

Best part of the season is right after the Spurs win a championship and the new league year is starting to take shape.

Everyone is full of hope, poring over the rosters trying to figure out how we can stop San Antonio from doing it again (we can't)

He simply has better depth every year. On top of that Jokic be chillin or the opponents worst offense player so he’s never really in any kind of foul trouble

Indeed, the promise of anew. I almost told my buddy "yeah, it's a boatload of fun. We make trades, we draft, we laugh, we talk hoops, we talk ****, and then San Antonio wins the championship."

Just checking in.

With the draft and Free agency coming up, there's definitely some franchise changing talents out there. I'm curious to see who lands where.

If anyone has interest in signing Trae Young, contact me via pm. Since I hold his bird rights, I'll likely be able to get you a better deal (5th year and cheaper) in a sign and trade.

Big ups to everyone on the awards. Looking forward to our 9th season!

Peace!
