LAC gets: Johnson, Gay, Mickey, Holland, Mem pick, BOS top 20 protected 2018 pick
SAC gets: Rozier,mYoung, Hunter, Leunen
BOS gets: Griffin, Pierce

Presti gives a discount + Westbrook non agreement to extension, BRK 18 (not 17), No Brown. LAC pick pick

BOS gets: RWB
OKC gets: Smart, Jerebko, Zeller, Hunter, BKN 18


Follow up, our roster will look like this post trade.

RWB/IT/Jackson
Bradley/Green
Crowder/Brown/Pierce
Griffin/Pierce/Olynyk/Bentil
Horford/Sanders (RME)/Olynyk

Sick roster


I think with a roster like that, we just HAVE to trust KO and Bentil to fill in play their part. No messing about, but just trust them to fill in and do their bit. Don't need to rely on them for any outstanding play, but just enogh to get by and more importantly give them that experience. We can't rely on Pierce to play in the PF (even playing small ball). I mean, excluding Sanders, what big men are left on the market??

Do you have sources stating this? Otherwise I take it with a grain of salt.

My buddy bumped into him actually in Blake's house, real nice guy gave him autographs and everything.


That's a clever way of explaining a Grindr date!

Two follow up questions:

1) Did you meet your buddy on Grindr? If so, is it not what it sounds like?

2) Did your buddy meet Blake on Grindr?

It's just hard for me to get up for news from sources that aren't from Grindr at this point.

Well my buddy didn't actually tell me this, but I'm not ruling it out as a possibility until he has told me otherwise. No not grindr, bumble actually. Not quite as credible, but still solid.

Ahh I see, definitely agree bumble is solid, the sources have to come to you first so you know they're not just trying to appease you. I fully believe you and your source, but at the same time I wholehearted take it with a grain of salt.


Side note, how does bumble decide who has to message first for gay guys??????

Grindr is the best app for finding sources with intimate knowledge of the comings and goings on NBA players. Just swipe a few times then info starts coming from all directions. Remember though, it's not like that.

That's where, after post after post of telling us he didn't believe the guy, PaulGaston said he met his source. This was then followed with post after post of telling us it's not what it seems like.

Johnson, Gay and BKN 2018 pick is a solid return, but can't see Doc settling for that.

Smart, Brown & BKN 2017 is too much for Westbrook. Give Presti 2 of the 3 and throw in the Memphis pick.

I'm also not a big fan of the Blake/Westbrook combo either, and wouldn't mind if they just got Westbrook. Blake and CP3 never got out of the 2nd round, and I suspect Blake will cost more than Johnson, Rozier and BKN 2018...

We announced all of our signings. Bentil, Gerald Green, Jaylen Brown, Zeller, and Jackson. I guess no trade after all

Perhaps we still could do one but not both right now I would assume...

Edit - someone already flagged the Zeller/Brown/etc signings.

Looks like we're in for a wait.

No, the media announced them. And I'm pretty sure Brown is still unsigned.

I'm batting 100 so far on Bumble. I'm like David Ortiz there compared to my Tinder record (granted I've only faced one pitched so far on bumble).
