Does Drummond make Clax any more gettable? Dangle a bit of nothing at the Nets?

Solid is an understatement. That's as well rounded of a team as it gets. I'm so jealous.

Suns part with Jalen Smith and a 2nd for Torrey Craig. I would've done that deal (Smith and a 2nd) for PJ.

Actually, I might have traded PJ for either

. I like Craig as well, would've been a great 3&D get.

I see why they moved out Harrel so cheaply, clearing those minutes for KP.

Larry Brown's been gone 11 years, maybe DJ would come back?

Augustin would be solid.

Celtics traded a 2028 pick swap to the Spurs in the White deal. Wild. That is so far out

Jalen Smith will be an UFA in the off season. Indiana can now only offer Jalen Smith up to what his third year rookie scale deal would have been during free agency as the Suns declined his option. Every other team can offer whatever they want to. This actually puts Indiana at a handicap for keeping him.

This leads me to conclude Indiana has no intention of keeping him and he was only acquired to cut payroll/avoid luxury tax.

Interesting, thx. Would like to think he'd be semi-affordable in FA, but I have a feeling he'll get overpaid.

at least draft day happens when I'm up, waking up to this madness is making my head spin.

Moses Brown got waived by Dallas, we don't need him but I'm curious to see where he ends up. Athletic big with a good nose for boards. Im a fan

You just never know, do you?

We, or at least I, sometimes forget these star athletes are also human beings with human being experiences, emotions and challenges just like all of us. They have bad days, just like we do. If I have a blow up with the misses it might impact my day at work. These guys are no different.

Sometimes I think they are viewed as emotionless androids who, when they are not playing a sport in front of us, are powered down and put in a closet until it's time to be taken out, powered on and play their sport again.

Also interesting that Biyombo probably chose not to sign with Charlotte as well, wanting a contender.

We probably didn't want him back. Worked out best for everyone.

Trez is like what we want Biyombo to be as a vet but he's too nice of a guy. And he can only catch passes from Chris Paul
