Yeah Rockets and Theis is definitely a weird signing, other than those guys are all young.

A lot of surprising moves so far. The Knicks have surprised me the most by far though.

How great would it be if Kubolka could be our Robinson, be tall and shoot 3s

I'd keep your eye on Dallas.

The best thing for us is to S&T him and get a couple of those draft picks in return.

Dunno if Kyrie would be happy coming off the bench.
Lebron would be a good pippen for Patty, as long as AD and Westbrook know to rebound then shut up, they should be fine

OKC don't trade away draft picks, they hoard them.
they don't need basketball players, they just need draft picks.
more draft picks, more!!

Lots of overpays but for what Graham got, oof. Another year with a bag of trash at backup PG, so we’re in for 12-16 minutes of unwatchable basketball again.

9th, 10th or 11th this year?

Happy in a sort of old man way that the Hornets are laying low right now. The Plumlee deal was, in effect, the first dip for Charlotte. Still need a shooting wing and a veteran backup point, but good deals can be had with patience. Same with Graham. Wait out his market and see what shakes out.

So we need a free agent PG. Whose available in our price range?
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Looks like Graham shook out sooner than I thought, or maybe a byproduct of the Bulls three way that never materialized. Still not a free agency free for all for Charlotte...of which I'm glad.

If we sign Holmes for that 4/80 that he is reportedly wanting I will puke.

And who are you proposing we trade? And who do we trade them for?
