ATL - Bane to Orlando for 4 FRP+

[th87]

Was Middleton for Haliburton really possible in 2022?

It was just a TI on here.

I would have settled for the 2023 TI of Middleton for Harrison Barnes and the 4th pick for Ivey.

But the Haliburton for Ben Simmons was real. Philly turned it down.

Small markets have to make visionary moves like this and fleece a dumb GM/owner who are just rich hobbyists.

IIRC, acquiring Haliburton for Sabonis was universally praised by us nerds, but treated as neutral by the former-player media.

Which is why I still think there's a market for Kuzma if we approach an owner who meddles and can sell him/her on PPGz. Unfortunately, we also fit that description, so...

Dumars needs vets from Flint to turn around the Pelican'ts.

I tried to talk it into existence. Middleton for Haliburton, Richaun Holmes, and Justin James (throw in) which worked salary wise. Hardly anyone here was having any of it. I saw no rumors from the Bucks. Just the Kings being stupid as usual making him available. Indy has great executives.

Naz Reid having a terrible game.

Would still take him as a Brook replacement though lol.

Naz Reid and Randle peeing down their legs in this one, my god

OKC got them in a torture chamber

[MickeyDavis]

Wolves lose in WCF 4-1, make major trade, lose in WCF 4-1. Second apron team this year. If they bring back Randle and Reid they'll be second apron again next season. Or just one of them

[MickeyDavis]

Wolves should be in the East, big rivalries with Bucks, Bulls, Pistons.

Fire up the “When does Ant ask out?” talk.imo

[MickeyDavis]

As has been talked about before, the huge difference in intensity (and officiating) between the regular season and playoffs highlights why no one gives a **** about the regular season. I watched all Bucks games start to finish. I watched zero non Bucks games start to finish. I didn't even watch a half of any non Bucks games. At most I would check scores and if a game was close with 5 minutes left I might tune in if I was home.

Naz Reid seems like a worse version of portis. Portis is a better rebounder and better 1 on 1 player.

[MrHoneycutt]

All right, fine. Indy-OKC should be an intense Finals.

[soxperry]

Going to be fascinating to see if Indy's offense works against this defense. Im going to assume not, and Im guessing its a sweep or 4-1 win for okc, but we'll see...

I like Edwards but he disappears for too many stretches to be the 1A guy on a title winning team.

[tonyreyes123]

Commercial break ends, show a replay for 10 seconds, back to more commercials…

ESPN sucks

I like Edwards but he disappears for too many stretches to be the 1A guy on a title winning team.

He's still pretty f'n young.

[blazza18]

OKC were giving Jokic hell for multiple games so I will forgive Edwards for not being at his best. He'll learn and be better for it.

Ant and Giannis would be fun

[Ron Swanson]

Pacers (yes I hope this jinxes them) are gonna need all the bull **** voodoo magic in existence to beat this OKC team. I’ll be stunned if they don’t roll to a title at this point.
