That was a shock to me, but maybe I’m in the dark on what that situation may have been. High standard!
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Wish the Bulls would see the charm of a straight up swap for Josh Green.

this is probably the Bulls' only avenue of receiving a top 35 pick for Lonzo.

I'd trade one of our current 2nds to make that swap happen, and it has very little to do with me actually wanting Lonzo the basketball player
investigate Adam Silver

His ability to stay healthy I would assume. Also 2 years is not exactly a long term commitment.

I was on the Lonzo for cheap bandwagon, but his comments about wanting LaMelo on the Clippers made me sour on acquiring him.

Both top 5 for sure... and have been top 5 for a long time. Being consistently good for a long time matters.

Seriously, c'mon Silver just let it die. No need to breathe life into this.

He had to know it'd become a talking point when he did this.

KD will likely be traded before the draft.

I wonder if the Spurs are going to use that #2 pick on a aging KD. Not sure I would do that if I were San Antonio.

Dylan Harper's father Ron Harper who won 5 NBA championships selected former teammates for every position for his all-time great team.
