Movement… about time. With it coming this early, I would think Knicks are giving in. Jazz have no reason to rush the trade… if the news is true. PK is a local jazz source that is very connected to Jazz brass.

I feel like we already knew this

Like, the sooner this gets done, the more it means we gave in

So I'm expecting like 6 firsts (4 of our unprotected picks), Grimes, and at least two of Quick, Obi, McBride, and Cam (in that order from likeliest to least likely)

The longer it goes on, the better it is for us because Ainge is playing hard to get but he wants it done before the season starts to tank as hard as possible.

Or Ainge spent this week canvassing the rest of the league (as reported) and didn't find anything better.

It could go either way

"Oh yeah, so these guys, once a week, they ritualistically consume the (metaphorical) flesh and blood of their god, who was sacrificed to himself via execution while he was in human form in order to cleanse humanity of the sin of one woman eating an apple she wasn't supposed to way back in the day. Also they wear miniature versions of said execution device around their necks because it's their holiest symbol"

I don't have anything against Christians in general, except for the part where they went around and rewrote a bunch of religions to the point where it's impossible to tell what the original context for said myths were or even if they were originally stories told by that culture or added afterwards by the monks. Also the crusades. And the whole altar boy molestation thing. Really, anything to do with organized religion is a hard no from me, individual people are usually fine.

Faith baffles me to this day. Been a Rollercoaster my whole life - from fear to anger to tolerance to envy/jealousy to thinking its romantic. But I could never make the leap myself.

It's usually the latter, if he's correct

The big picture is set, just negotiating on the minute details

Or he's just making it up.

I agree with that, but then the deal isn't agreed upon :lol:

haggling over future protections? maybe players and picks but sometimes protections are the last thing to haggle over...especially if knicks are sending like 2027 and 2029 I doubt we are sending both completely unprotected.

Leon has Ainge in checkmate.

to be fair no 6'1 guy is about to shut down a talented 6'10 scorer.

Thats just unfair.

Maybe they sent it to Bish but he's at work.

Still haggling =/= agreement

If I tell the dealership that I plan to buy the car but they have to throw in some mats and they say no, then we're still negotiating.

It's just a weird categorization

If it’s a haul, he wouldn’t have to say it. Haul my ass
