So I was willing to pay top dollar for Dalton Knecht aka Knecht4. Would not even consider the deal outside of his nickname given Duren's SIM production and IRL efficiency.

He will never be moved.

Looking at the box scores from our series you had clarke at PF with Collins at C. Turner came off the bench. you prob started all of them in the regular season, but not in our series

It's just a weird trade. Like finding out that Carmelo is in the league and that somebody rostered Bronny in the same trade.

I had a particular strategy in mind for melo EL which I saw the Spurs do and couldn't replicate it so decided to pocket a second round pick as an asset
