US Sports betting ban overturned in Supreme Court. It could have salary cap implications in the near future considering Silver has been trying to get some of the betting money diverted to the NBA. All I know is that the owners better not let the cap explode again.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.
Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

We've been talking A LOT about the draft for like 5 months and a lot about the top pick for like 3 weeks and there is still two and a half weeks left...just until the draft.
Then ten days until free agency, and then the moratorium....then probably waiting for LeBron to take his vacation he probably won't start until June 30th...which will likely hold up free agency...hopefully not again but who knows.
I remember last year it dragged on...while we discussed Millsap for like a week...then the FO came out and said they were staying young and targeting 2019....then Blake said he wants to talk so they decide to suddenly consider that for two weeks and half of the people are excited....then FINALLY they go back to their "stick to the plan" thing when Blake stays in LA (thankfully even though I know a lot of people wanted him).
So back to it....then well after free agency and trades seem over with, out comes the Kyrie news...which dragged on FOREVER. Seems like weeks...then trade goes down...they delayed another week or two....and of course another guy a lot of people wanted, but we stand firm.
And we are not even within two weeks of the draft yet...summer league should be fun and hopefully this offseason our free agency moves and/or trades are interesting but it's already going SO damn slow..
I'm probably just impatient though.

I just hope it's not a guy like Kemba and Gordon
Kemba could be looking at $25-30m a year after his current contract while Gordon might be a $25m signing.

When is the next day a trade can be agreed on? Is it draft day or slightly before?

I'm going to lose it if we give up any assets to give Gordon 25m a year. I wouldnt even do it if he was a UFA

Teams can make trades as soon as their season ends. So we can make trades anytime we want, but the NBA frowns upon stuff like that taking away from the Finals. Usually trading happens after then. Draft is the 22nd. Latest the Finals will go (If it goes to 7 games which it wont) is the 17th, so 5 days before the draft.

You should start a thread with that as the subject. I concur. So when the powers that be check in on fan thoughts they see it.

22nd? That's strange I was thinking it was the 21st. Don't remember it being on a Friday.

Yup, you are right, for some reason i thought the 22nd was Thursday.
