No disrespect to those still vying for the championship.

But when trades open I am looking for defensive players. Willing to talk on anything rational that makes sense for each party.

Don’t wanna derail tho, back to playoffs talk.

Just an unbelievable game from Kawhi and CJ. 90pts combined, and every bucket was needed. The Orlando magic is a deep and talented team, Anthony Davis was a headache all series, so to walk away with this one is a huge feat.

Again, what a superstar performance from Kawhi!

What a game 7!

Congrats HerSports! Epic comeback from being down 2-0 and continuing your successful season. You’ve built a 2-way monster of a team equally adept on both sides of the ball.

DePalma, hold your head high. You had a great season and put together a very good roster. Whichever direction you go in going forward, I always know your vision will allow you to execute your plan.

Oh and can’t forget about Ben Simmons who led us in rebounds and assists, on top of playing great defense. Having a player like him that can lockdown all 5 positions and playmake on a high level is the reason he was my main target last off season.

Congrats HS!

Man…CJ got treated like Alec Burks in some trade talks, but props to you on seeing his value to your system. Glad to see it pay off in a big game such as this. Great GM’ing!

We’ve got 4 outstanding GMs/teams left standing. Should be a great conference finals all around.

Congratulations to HerSports and the Bulls on a great series. I knew I didn't want to get into a 7th game with Kawhi.

Still deciding on whether to try to mostly run it back or to try a major remodel.

For now, anyone looking for defensive big Man, Kevon Looney is on the block. Anyone looking for an offensive big man, Nikola Vucevic is someone who could be had.

I will even listen on AD. However, to consider AD, I'd be looking for a very good player on a rookie contract or rookie extension, at least 2 1st and some cap room and other than rookie deals, no long term money to even start a conversation.

Also, if do get an offer of interest for AD, I would also need time to find a follow up deal of Lillard before finalizing.

Not even Jaylen Brown? Kinda fills a big hole there. IJS.

As a real-life Celtics fan, I love Jaylen. However, if I move AD, I'll be looking to reset my salary structure while I build up some draft capital.
