Friday, 6/21 is my daughter’s 16th birthday. And Tuesday the 25th is my sons HS graduation. I’m assuming I will be out or at least away from my computer for a lot of those nights.

Teams can still use their draft time as they choose but anyone who wants to or can get their picks in early should absolutely feel free to do so. It would be appreciated if we can get ahead of the time slots before Tuesday night.


Boss, I am trading the 1st overall pick. When would you like to start accepting trades?


That date is typically announced once you see the rollover to season 8 (wow!). New stickied mega thread with revised salaries, free agency, draft capital, etc.

After the finals.



What Cap said! Please wait to submit all trades/transactions until the new thread is posted which will start the new league year.

Had some interests and inquiries. Looking for future picks, young talent.

I’ve also had some interest for Drummond recently. 9.0 rebounds in 17 mins - he’s about to beast in the sim next year if you give him good minutes.

Seeing on how most of the PM's have been about Porter/Herro thus far, let's just openly say that I'm always open to deals as long as they make sense for me. Though I don't have a severe case of FOMO like some here :lol:

At this point, stopping SAS from a clean sweep of the playoffs is an accomplishment by itself. Joint is crazy.

Anybody hear from Hezi or Smash on a return for season 8?

Vets I'm willing to move right now (outside of Beal and Wiggins):

Kyle Kuzma- $130/3 years
Grayson Allen- $103/4 years

Relatively cheap deals... 22/6/4 for Kuzma IRL and Grayson at 13 ppg with the best shooting in the league at 50/46.

Looking for young players/future picks or cap space or a mix of all.

1st loss this postseason for the Spurs. Can the Cavs even up the series?

Power rankings

1. Spurs
2. Cavs
3. Me and everyone else who get swept by the Spurs

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with my logic here

Simons made some huge plays down the stretch. Clutch free throws from Jaylen Nowell in a must-win game for the Cavs. Nowell was a 1-star rated player this season. Sometimes we get caught up in ratings alone, so props to Nowell for sending a statement. Good win Cavs. All that said, Man the Spurs are tough! Down to the wire they kept it very close and almost edged this one out to take a 3-0 lead. I know Melo went through mad packs of oreos trying to stay calm last night :lol: But it was Tatum who sealed the deal making a layup with 6 seconds left. GMs- don't underestimate your need for a closer! This is why you pay them the big bucks! This is why you capitalize on your chances to acquire them via trade. It was good to finally see an entertaining game. Great job by both teams.

Big win but it’s disappointing to see I lost Bam to an injury for the rest of the finals… already tough with Bagley out

I saved my Oreos :lol: I actually went to sleep once I saw bam left the game with an injury. woke up and saw the win. But glad to see we still pulled out the win. Going to be tough to be without Bam for the rest of the series but we’re gonna keep fighting!
