Weltman could be on 580 soon, if he's done with the trade stuff before 6.

If we get the #2 pick in the upcoming draft, who should we draft: Morant or Barrett?

Barrett

In real life, If we get the #8 pick in the upcoming draft, who should we draft?

All-star draft is tonight. I got Vuc going to team Giannis 3rd from the last pick.

Vuc better be there recruiting Giannis for our 2021 FA. Earn the fact that we didnt trade you big man.

Also, if we were able to get RJ and Fultz could go to the Yipes doctor from the show Psych and become 90% of what he should have been, we might actually turn this poopshow around.

Unspoken consequence of the Fultz deal - we just lost a good chunk of our potential cap space for this summer.

Simmons was worth $5M off the cap with his $1M guaranteed deal. Fultz is worth $10M.

Originally, if we had let Ross walk and renounce his bird rights, stretch Moz, let everyone else walk, we would have had $16M including Vuc's caphold. Now, best we're looking at is $10-11M in space.

Yes we would've been on the hook for 1 million to Simmons and the second round pick.

I know today is the trade deadline and we just got a trade in, but the fact that no one seems to care that Bamba had leg surgery today and is out for the season is laughable.

Pacers going to waive Nik Stauskus soon. I know some Fans here have wanted him for a long time. Wonder if Management tries to get him.

I'm confused by that whole thing. They said, no surgery required and today they said, he had a procedure.

[Def Swami]

Fun trade deadline, guys. Locking this one up. I'll start XXII.
