What the heck was that... LOL. Flagg to the Mavs LOL.

Spurs gifted Harper who to me is a #1 pick a lot of years. Trade for a superstar or make him OKC Harden 6th man supreme? Lord have mercy.

Nah man, I think the NBA is rigged. Told the Mavs to trade Luka to the Lakers and theyll send the #1 pick their way. Crazy.

Spurs with #2 pick actually pisses me off more. Rich getting richer

Dallas had a 1.8% chance for that #1 pick.

I would be more worried about Giannis to the Spurs. I think if you get Flagg you keep him. Harper is really good, but Spurs have two guards they like.

Worth noting that we own the Bucks 2nd next year so if they move Giannis we could possibly be looking at a near 1st rounder.

Tanking teams got hammered this draft. Washington picking 6th after going 18-64 is a punishment.

Good news for us from the lottery.

Wizards dropped 4 spots and Suns lost their pick. So both teams probably not improving a lot next season and Suns likely trading Durant.

Remember, we get the less favorable of their picks next year. So since both teams probably suck next year, we should get a lottery pick.

Giannis to San Antonio gets more steam.


Castle + 2 (Harper) is a good re load if Milwaukee uses that as trade starters
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Castle is probably going to be an all-star. I doubt they trade him.

This is very clearly what happened, and kind of laughable that literally anyone would attempt to deny it.

Yeah Giannis to SA just screams obvious deal. Castle + Vassell + #2 + couple of future 1sts. Great start for Milwaukee.
