Would only make sense if we can S&T Gallo. Other than that, it would be a beyond terrible trade

Mmmh...

If I was Presti, I'd surely ask for more.

You know him better than me, guys. Will he be OK with this return?

That seems pretty good for Minnesota.

yeah looks terrible for us. Guess all leverage with Minnesota and that's the price to pay to get the player we want.

Giving up 25+34 is closer to fair value (and still good for the wolves)

Wolves have 33 too. Maybe it’s included.

He shouldn't but it really depends on who he wants. So many picks that me may think that it's worth it

We use that to move up for pokey and I won't be particularly thrilled.

Actually we don’t. That’s the problem.

I think there are going to be a lot of deals and we are going to have to look at them holistically. This may not be a great deal, but if Sam is targeting a specific person at 17 and this was the only deal to both get the guy plus clear enough salary to keep gallo on the books, it might clear the way for a sign and trade.

Presti overpaying and got the minimum for Al Horford

Toppin on the Knicks feels so right.

That gave me a burst of laugh.
It must be bewildering having such an unpredictable GM.

I bet you get some fun out of it.

Toppin reminds me of Jared sullinger. Not stylistically, but in the way you just know they won't be able to do the things they did in college against bigger and stronger opponents.

Hopefully they can follow it up by signing a few PFs.

I think the next five years are gonna be fun as hell. Even if it’s a complete disaster.

Not great players but so bad value from Green/Rubio

I got a notification from the athletic saying the trade was done. Can’t find it on Twitter though.

I'm in love with avdija just for that background

Are you happy with the Thunder’s draft night decisions?
