[31to6]

Can't fault the effort really but still stings a bit to be a bit blown out.

Unless big changes/trades happen, we probably are just going to make the play in tournament

At this rate, yes!

But here's the thing, we don't know what Brad gets for Simons and the Tatum return has to be resolved.

instead of posting that every night, we could assume that nothing of value is coming back for Simons, and that if Tatum returns this season, he'll be really rusty

Take the case of the Suns.
Booker, Jalen Green, and Dillon Brooks will total 100m in salaries.

The Suns might want out of Grayson Allen's 37m remaining after this season.
So if the Suns trade Grayson and Richards for Simons then the Suns will be free of the 37m they will have to pay for Grayson.

It's not just about the talent of Simons, it's also his expiring contract and the cap relief it could offer a team wanting to dump salary.

Garza blows. Zero rebounds in 13 minutes. He can’t jump, he csn’t defend and he can’t shoot.

The no minott turnover and the missed layup by neemy hurt

Bingo!
