Ayton is 7-1 vs Luka.


Maxi being back helps Mavs win.

Only ten teams can be used in the list. Since the Lakers have one of the Rodney Dangerfields' of RealGM in the Hawks, their game is obviously discounted :lol:

In one way, I am worried the Lakers got a wake up call by losing two of their last three; and they are out for blood. In another way, the Hawks and Trae look to be hitting a stride; and this could be a great game for the young squad.

Haha, OP must've read "Hawks" before seeing the opponent was LAL.

Now you get a glimpse of what life's like as a Hawks fan. :lol:

For everyone on the board who has commented how dumb the Pelicans are to put Steven Adams next to Zion, enjoy the game tonight. Adams out with a calf. Don’t shy away from the hot takes while the Pels absolutely get obliterated.

All or nothing. Red hot or ice cold. Nick Van Exel lite.

The issue with this type of thinking is no team should be better with $27 million worth of cap out. They could have made better use of that capspace this season and going forward.

It does drop to 17.5 mil from here on. Pretty good trade pieceoure cap

Not like you can sign guys outright when you're capped out anyway

Lebron at the timeout: "all that floppin'! all that floppin'!", presumably aimed at Trae Young, who's shamelessly doing his thing

Pels didn’t have $27 million in cap. They had contracts traded out. They will use $17.5 over the next two seasons for Adams. And no, the Pels could not use $17.5 in cap space for a better, or nearly as important as we will likely see, player than Adams.

But hey, hopefully I am super jinxing them and the Pels play great.
