How much better do they think Gallo makes them? I'd assume he'd mach up with Tatum who would destroy him.

Is he really married to Green and Poirier that he won’t cut them to make space for productive role players?

Wow, no picks to MEM? Johnson and Waiters are negative value contracts. They must really think Justise can get healthy and contribute.

Memphis is like: "OKC -- seriously, we're open to trading James Johnson and Waiters for the right price. Seriously. Anything. Please."

Why Memphis took Johnson/waiters and gave miami 2 expirings in Crowder and hill???

Makes zero sense.

Ok or you can try to trade him. The point is he’s too in love with the end of the bench guys who add nothing and meanwhile let’s Miami and Philly add contributors.

Boston has the 28th scoring bench in the league

Probably no one if they don’t want to shed future guaranteed money.

Could they make a run at Hayward?

I for one am happy to see Memphis mess with their chemistry for no good reason by injecting some weird ass dudes into their locker room who probably don't want to be there. Guess they must really like Winslow, as you wrote above.

Maybe there’s a guy out there who in the past offered 7 picks for Winslow who Pat Riley didn’t want to trade with. Hope Tatum and JB like Memphis

Someone mentioned Miami might have cap space, not sure if max. They're saving cap space for 2021 anyway.
