From earlier today!

What does that mean?

Is the Kyrie to Dallas trade official or is that still pending the expansion to include Toronto?

Don't anyone tell Fish about this! Because there couldn't possibly be anyone interested in Simmons.

Remember what I said yesterday about the most important rule in this league?

Fish already eating his words meanwhile the JJ stans defending his terrible negotiation skills.

Which part of 3 first round picks did you like the most?

The nets wanted to expand it but Mavs needed it done today. It was reported as official a few hours ago.

I sincerely hope we're the team in this for V8! Especially if only for multiple 2nds.

I think there is a very good chance we are.

I'm sure there's some way we could actually get in on this for some good pieces back?

GoK, I'm sorry to inform you we cannot get in on every trade and make out like bandits.

Of course I understand that man! And thank you for that update. But it doesn't cost us anything to try. And also is better than doing nothing because you lose out on a full 100% of the opportunities you don't bother exploring!

Cam Thomas tonight with 45 pts on 15/26 shooting, 7/10 from 3 and 8/8 from the line.

And there is still over 6 minutes left.

This after scoring 44 in their last game on 16/23 shooting, 4/5 from 3, 8/9 from the line.

Second youngest player ever to have b2b 40+ pt games behind LeBron. Just passed KD actually. He can go rub it in to KD.

Be nice to see them beat the Clips tonight.

Hopefully they don't have Dinwiddie and DFS tomorrow night.
they are about to choke this game away. we better beat them too

Yeah, sucked. They were up 113-109 and the Clips went on a 9-0 run. Too experienced....too good at defense. Kawhi can clamp down. He's revving up down the stretch.

Maybe if Dinwiddie and DFS show up it will disrupt their chemistry. Or we went to the game tonight and can really scout them and prepare for them, plus if Dinwiddie and DFS don't play they will be pretty tired....without KD or Kyrie.

Hopefully Book isn't rusty and doesn't disrupt our chemistry. Not that I expect it but it might be a bit of adjustment for Bridges, for example to really take a step back again and the entire team not being nearly as engaged on offense...with fewer shots to go around, doing more watching.

It is most likely the Suns. As I mentioned before, Rui to Lakers for basically a 2nd round pick puts things back into perspective where teams aren't overpaying for a player just because they are on a rookie contract. Suns haven't pulled the trigger I imagine because they are trying to get other deals done first or to extrapolate this deal.

I still think a three team trade could happen between Suns, Bucks, and Jazz. Suns get Beasley and Vandy, Jazz get Nwora, a handful of 2nds, and Bucks get Crowder.

Just hoping Suns are able to get Clarkson instead of Beasley even though I know that the Jazz owner really likes Clarkson and that the Jazz really want to keep Clarkson and that Clarkson is part of the Jazz long-term plans.

Yeah I just realized Suns will have to face Dinwiddie again who smashed our teeth in last game. Not fun...

If you're getting him to playmake, I hope you enjoy watching 70 one dribble hand-offs a night...

I disagree.

Cowboy Bebop **** rules though. Just noticed your avatar.

Not only was Kyrie just available but now Siakam meanwhile JJ and Co are going to swing and miss on yet another star player.

Who cares about picks right because we don't value them much. We are in win-now mode.

Makes sense they try to put the best team around KD as they can to convince him it's worth staying...while trying to drop Simmons off in Toronto

If we don't value them, don't you think we would just give them away for little?

Are you saying that Siakam is not worth a few FRP?

He says JJ does nothing but then when it is mentioned we'd offer Paul or Bridges or Ayton or Cam he is like :lol:

No way are we trading them!

Speaking of that, if anyone is held out trmw...would you think they're gone? You would have to at least assume there's good chance of it.

Initial thoughts on KD for Bridges, Cam, Crowder, plus picks?
