I'm about 98% positive BFB got a shout out from Kevin O'Conner in an NBA Show Ringer podcast within the last two weeks.

That bFb guy was a great poster, not for insider stuff but for his general take on roster construction. Too bad he's been absent lately.

There’s only been one “insider” I’ve ever questioned, and not publically. Just in my own head. Even if there’s someone I think is full of ****, I’d never call it out...

I am 100% positive I will have to take your word for it because my ears bleed listening to anything ringer related. God bless you for doing it

Yep, no news is good news in this case.

I really think Pelicans don't want to deal with the Lakers as much as possible. They're not enamored with whatever they have to offer on top of that.

Davis is a 1 year rental

Can't give up Brown, Tatum or Smart IMO

Hayward (only if he is willing -otherwise terrible) + picks for Davis - that is it

You can not give up the other guys for 1 year. It is nuts.

If Davis is willing to sign - then different story.

Plus they are being absolute pricks with how they've gone about with these negotiations.

Reminds me of when I sold a bunch of my sneaker collection. I put up a pair of Jordans for $250. Had a few replies, but arranged to meet a buyer who agreed to the price. Had a few other buyers offering $220.

So I go to meet this guy. He comes 30 minutes late. When I show him the shoes, he starts trying to haggle with me about how the shoes look like they've been worn (which they weren't). He then starts nitpicking about how the box has a small tear in it. Dude tried to haggle me down to $230. I packed my shoes up and immediately messaged the first guy who offered me $220. :lol:

A month. Should be up soon. That’s if he comes back.

Truly, I don't even expect to win a title w/ AD next season. If I'm trading for AD, it's just to flip off Lebron and the Lakers. THIS IS WHY I'M NOT A REAL GM.

Sounds like he sold his sole. Glad you gave him the boot.

Bulpett:

According to a source with ties to Roc Nation, the organization expected to become Irving’s new representative, the All-Star point guard is prepared to sign with the Brooklyn Nets when he becomes a free agent next month. A separate league source told the Herald that his team (not the Celtics) has received the same information and is operating under the belief that Irving wants to join the Nets.

Side thought: Is Kyrie just Steve Francis or Stephon Marbury writ larger in the social media era?

The source is Ainge. :lol:
Good assessment:
