Around the NBA 11

[bravor]

If Murray ends in Atlanta (its obviously the best fit for both teams, even though Atlanta is certainly not paying what the Bucks did with Holiday), maybe an opportunity will be there with Rozier (as neutral value)

Lots of teams are wasting their cap so as some already said, that's good news on the Bridges talks side (even though i hope it will be a reasonable offer sheet matched).

It might be a crazy draft day. Especially with the Durant/Nets stuff

I hope Kupchak & cie consolidate assets and jump on any good opportunity. And project what an expiring Hayward in 2023 could bring during next offseason.

Kyrie and Durant self-destructing in Brooklyn is probably going to freeze a lot of trades that might have otherwise happened tonight. The odds are slim, but Hayward, Oubre, prospects, and picks will be a solid offer for Durant in a few weeks time.

Durant would retire before he came here.

5 Fav Drafts
Detroit- Ivey and Duren is a great draft, Kemba contract isn't going to hinder them this summer in FA much.
Knicks- Trading Dieng (11) for 3 future firsts was smart. Now have all their picks, Dallas pick next year plus those 3 to throw at Donovan Mitchell or Kyrie or whoever.
Orlando- Paolo was my number 1 guy since March, glad they didn't listen to everybody
OKC- Hard to not like getting 3 top 12 picks, Chet and Dieng fit with the development culture
Mavs- Liked them being aggressive and getting Jaden Hardy at 37, no way he should of been around still.

5 Least Fav Drafts
Memphis- Did not care for Lariva and Roddy as top 23 picks. Also, they lost Melton for Danny Green.
Spurs- Sochan, Wesley and Branham are all fine, just think they lacked the splashy pick that gets me excited.
Bulls- Dalen Terry is a solid defensive combo guard, but seems repetitive with Caruso and Lonzo already there doing that.
Nuggets- Braun and Peyton Watson were both questionable first rounders in most mocks. Braun over Kessler, Beauchamp and Wesley was weird. Also, they could of drafted Jovic and that would of been awesome.
Lakers- liked they acquired the pick, but Christie is a longterm project. Thought they should of drafted a guy that can help now like a Liddell or Kennedy Chandler.

I feel like all hell is about to break loose around the league once Brooklyn trades Durant.

[JDR720]

Irving to LAL on the MLE.

Durant to Miami for Bam and Herro.

And that leaves us to get Westbrook for the last bit of our sanity.

The rumor I'm seeing is that Durant is going to Phoenix with Ayton going to Brooklyn.

Who knows what will happen with Kyrie, I halfway expect him to just retire.

Well. Kinda mean Atlanta will get Hornets 1st rounder. East gonna be a tank fest for more than half of the teams.

Also, if that happens (and Irving to LA), the west 's gonna be a bloodbath.

[yosemiteben]

Given that we now have Denver's 1st next season, I guess I'm pulling for every other top West team to stay on top (bit of a stretch for Utah I suppose) and for LAC, LAL, and NOP to jump Denver.

Trying to salvage value there.

I imagine the mystery team is the Knicks or possibly the Wizards. If so we may need to be a bit more aggressive ourselves to not fall behind in the standings.

I think of Kemba.

And this is sort of weird, but I always thought Kemba sounded like a cat name. I could totally see a big cat in a zoo being named Kemba. Thus, I think of Kemba when I think of Bobcats.
