Anything that strengthens Atlanta scares me. That mfer always beats me.

Losing isn’t fun. The framework of the Rozier/ Lively trade was agreed to over a month ago. The LeBron trade has been in the works for about two weeks.

As I’ve told Smash, it’s great to have him back. Beyond BaF we just want to know everyone is happy and healthy IRL. All the top dogs in the game really push each other to be better. However, between the lines, getting eliminated by his “ghost” during the in-season tourney definitely didn’t sit well. Then recently our longest stretch of losses ever tore me apart. It exposed some weaknesses, but also allowed me to see some potential in other guys.

I love the players I had and wish them well. I’m estatic about landing Turner, Trae and Rozier to come in and help Giannis. Trading Trae prior to the season was probably a mistake, so I’m glad I got the opportunity to right my wrong.

Hopefully we compete up to standard.

Patrick Beverly $4- exempt eligible still available for a future 2nd.

Had a few offers on Jordan Poole but am hesitant to part with a 70 sim rated player making $2 and whose bird rights have substantial value given his career-year scoring average thus far. Still willing to listen to additional offers but will need something of substance considering his affordability to cap strapped contenders.

Also willing to listen offers for verstatile veteran forward Bojan Bogdanovic.

Dillon Brooks could also be had. However, since Brooks expiring contract is currently being used as the replacement for EL player Gordon Hayward, I could only take back a single 1 year player making $162 or under in return, limiting trade options.

The Toronto Raptors trounced the Charlotte Hornets in a 106-91 victory at Scotiabank Arena, in a game in which they lead by as many as 19 points. The win improves the Raps home record to an undefeated 17-0, tied for tops in the league.

Victor Wembanyama led the way, with six Raptors scoring in double-figures and seven players scoring at least nine points.

A stifling defense held Charlotte below the 100 point threshold and forced them into 18 turnovers.

Toronto’s record improves to 30-10, 1st in the Atlantic, 2nd in the Eastern Conference.

and to a team that is trying to be bad without resorting to sitting or reducing the minutes of his core three players. You guys sure make tanking ethically tough. I might either have to get in the mud and start sitting Dame, IHart, and Bridges or re-trade my 2025 1st and make a playoff run and I can't see myself doing the former.
