Miami wants they're PF to be short, limber & Agile that surgery and steroid cycle would be counter intuitive on their part for the role.

Lakers should be asking for Conley not Beverly. Maybe they want to maintain cap flexibility with Bevs expiring.

Damn man. Sounds like Jack from Baki. Spo would likely opt for limb shortening though.

The nets are gonna run it back and its gonna back fire in their face. Kyrie is gone as soon as the season is over and he's not even gonna give them a sign an trade. He won't even let them get a single pick for him. Ben Simmons is still Ben Simmons, unless he magically learns how to shoot and have the balls to shoot that situation is not gonna change. They'll have KD for show, his heart is not gonna be in the team and will probably request a trade once more once the season is over.

If the heat truly have that Collins trade lined up, I'd go get Collins and that other wing right the phuck now before something stupid happens and the trade is not available anymore.

I hope we get them round one. So we can sweep them the hell out of the playoffs and further burry them into oblivion.

The Collins trade is another pipe dream. Sacramento tried offering Barnes but the Hawks also wanted the 4th pick and those talks died. As i mentioned earlier Collins has been hanging with Murray and Young all summer so zero indications that the Hawks are desperate to trade him.

As for BK wether it works out or not is up for debate. Looks like Irving and BK management are in a good place and now Durant is hanging in the same room as Simmons so it looks like slowly but surely they are trying to hash things out. I think it’s just time for us to move on much like the Suns did and now the Lakers moving on from Irving.

Yeah but I doubt we had the assets for either

Det wanted space space that we simply don’t have and atl prob wants a whole lot for Collins

I’m thinking a 1st and Robinson could get us someone like bogdanovic, Marcus morris or something like that

Those teams won’t move them for anything short of a 1st just being real…and I don’t see any star in the future that we can obtain with what we want to offer so in my opinion trading a 1st for a win now player is a smart move…if we are trying to win it this year

Yup. Going to have to put the 2023 1st in play protected to get any of these small deals done. 2028 is the next 2nd we can trade so doubt that has much value when attaching to Duncan’s contract.
