I believe Zach Lowe said the fourth was with protection, but the 3 are unprotected. Just literally listened to it an hour ago lol

Why would Brooklyn refuse that?

My guess is because they’re trying to win, while they believe they can get the same offer if they want to by next season.

4 first for Bridges? People really don’t give a f*ck about draft picks anymore.

I think the Raptors are going to regret not trading everything yesterday. The market for sellers was out of control. They could have ended the day with like 12 unprotected firsts.

My new conspiracy theory is that AD didn’t celebrate Lebron breaking the points record because Lebron tried to trade him for Kyrie & Nic Clayton.

The Poetl trade was mind boggling. Its looked like Spurs hacked Masai’s e-mail and sent that trade proposal to Silvers

Masai decided to zig when he should have zagged.

Cam Thomas got fined for dropping a NH on live television.

That's a hefty, fertile load of cash. But sometimes you've just got to be a man and swallow it.

SGA’s probably the most underrated superstar in the league.
30-5-5-1-1 62TS% that’s GOAT type numbers

I had a feeling that Brandon Boston wasn't going to fade into obscurity when he was drafted by the Clippers. He's too talented at 6'8 to just suck. Similarly to Terrence Clarke (RIP) in the same draft. They were just products of a COVID season and couldn't ever really get adjusted to college basketball, unfortunately. I think the Clippers have a steal on their hands and he'll take his game to the next level if he can put some muscle on.

Early Jordan type stat line.

Can't be GOAT though, he was a Clipper first.

If SGA had a say in the matter, he'd likely still be a Clipper. He had no control in getting shipped off in a trade package to another team. Lowkey, Doc was pissed when they moved Shai.

I feel bad for Shai. He was a victim of a couple of the whack ass Mercenary Bois. Mercenary Kawhi wanted Mercenary Paul to come join him to fail to win together so they ruined Shai's chances of becoming a franchise player for the Clippers by shipping him off to the Thunder.

Both Banchero and Mathurin seemed to have hit the wall as of late.

I'm not sure if anyone else can swoop in and steal it. Jaden Ivey's production has been consistent month by month. Perhaps if he has a big uptick in scoring on the next few, he can emerge.
