To be expected, a blowout win against the tanking Raptors. Siakam did ok. Trae had a bad shooting night. A solid night on the boards with 52; 13 of them offensive.

Good game 2010/Raptors

Off Topic: I am going to try to give Bish a well deserved break. But no promises; my office is always open.

Chicago's 2023 pick is for sale. Looking to swap it for two future firsts but a 2024 needs to be involved for the trade to go through. If anyone wants more of the 2023 draft talent and needs another first hit me up.

My team is banged up but I got San Antonio on the 6th. Hopefully everyone stays healthy until then and I can pull out a new lineup to test it against San Antonio.

Also even without Harrell if I lose to San Antonio Lonzo Ball is on the block. I need a big move and he's probably the piece I'll get the most for. Hopefully this announcement motivates him to lock up Steph.

This is for sure my toughest stretch of the season.

Forget what I have after you but will finish up a 10 games in 17 day stretch for me with 8 of those 10 game on the road ending with Denver and you on B2B nights on the road.

It includes 3 back to backs in basically a 2 week stretch with road games against CHI, Utah, LAC, LAL, POR, SAC, DEN, and then I finish on road vs you. Sprinkle in a home game against CHA in there too.

So far so good.

Meh. You're way more talented than anyone but me and Hoffa it seems at this point. Basically it's down to whether or not my basic gameplan and luck can win me the game. You're a +18 team right now according to my SRS calculations, me and Hoffa the only teams even half as good as you. We're both around +12 (I edge him out).

I maximized the return on Brook Lopez and have already moved Reggie Jackson. So at this point I am not actively shopping anyone else.

But I’m willing listen on Brooks and/or Conley. However, I don’t NEED to move them as they are expiring contracts next season who can be productive stopgaps in my rotation.

So long story short, don’t try to play me. Make a credible offer or you will get banged on.

Winning games on the road vs playoff teams still is always a good litmus test especially b2b which from everything I have seen has an effect on performance. Outside of DAL and GS that is the entire western conference playoff teams played within a very short window all on the road.

And oh yeah, I took notes on those who were tryna play me during negotiations on this run while I was turning over my roster.

Best believe you will be taxed in future trade talks with me, now that I’m up.

I’m from the streets. I’m ruthless. So I’ll remember who was playing hardball while I was having to play nice.
