Not believing it until I see it happen


We traded Montreal's finest Khem Birch.

All jokes aside, Masai has always been an off-season guy anyways.

It's happening.


This would be the ultimate dream, but we would need Portland to be really stupid for this to happen.

Well technically we need the Hornets to be stupid and then we need the Blazers to be stupid.
But Bill Simmons suggested a fantasy trade of Pascal for #2 and Hayward's expiring last podcast. So maybe just maybe we can go directly to the source of stupidity and bypass the Blazers to preserve the Jroy's mental health.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

The only thing I don't love about the Simons + 3rd pick for Siakam trade is that Scoot and Simons is a midget backcourt. I don't like midget backcourts.

Tbf Scoot and Simons would be the most athletic backcourt in the league. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

Not saying that is what I want, but I could see Masai going with Amen over Scoot or Miller. Both twins just seem like typical Raptors.

Midget backcourt is relative i.e. our most successful run included two ground bound 6 footers and I’m not sure an explosive 6’2” Scoot with huge hands and long arms (apparently 6’9”) and an equally explosive (former slam dunk champ) 6’3” with 6’9”+ WS Simmons can be considered “midget” in the same way.

Yeah I thought it was a very interesting proposal and both Simmons and Russillo thought it was a good trade.

Scoot/GTJ/OG/Barnes/Poeltl is a pretty intriguing lineup.

Yeah, it would be an amazing trade and I’d much rather have Hayward and his expiring than Simons and his deal even though he gets injured a lot. Sadly Simmons and Russillo don’t run the Hornets.
