Philly is on early watch for Executive of the Year. Huge fan of the patience and discipline it took to build that young squad essentially from the ground up. Personally, I couldn’t do it. Respect.

Duren, Flagg, Maxey is a sick big 3. All under 25.

Yeah, nobody really wanted the Collins contract, even though he’s coming off a great season. It’s a bit pricey, so I totally get the hesitation. Once Derrick mentioned he was open to taking on a longer-term “salary dump,” I reached out. A first-rounder was understandably required, so I gave him what he asked for. I brought Indy into the deal and sent Kuz and Seth their way in exchange for a better fit in Middleton, since I knew Indy valued expirings.

still TBD, the roster freeze is now in place so I think Bish typically works on the FA destination rankings then its him finding some time in his schedule where he can start FA.

One protected pick has ruined three trades that benefited all teams.
