c) Their number for what he's worth (and what they'd resign him for) is right around what they can offer via early Bird rights


Man... I think Portland should look at Richaun Holmes. They should go hard for Gordon, and then use one of the young guys to get Holmes.


All Holmes would do is take minutes from Kanter... is that really the priority? I like Holmes but that seems like a poor use of resources


That's the point Kanter needs less minutes. He sinks the defense.

Nah. You’re like my mom in a restaurant. Every time she gets bored and goes to the restroom, that’s when the food comes. You should just keep random names and force things to happen.

Kanter shouldn't be playing starter minutes, against 2nd units he's fine.

He's still a situational play. There are lineups even against backups that I would significantly prefer Holmes against.

Smitty trying to help the Celtics now lol. Claiming significant interest in Theis(okay maybe) and Thompson(giggles).

And yes that means Dallas will trade Josh Green for Thompson and I will hate my life.

Thoughts so far:

I picked too few trades?
Chicago will regret today
Boston got value
Cleveland got value
Orlando is still winning

So what's Orlando looking at,

Anthony, fultz, Issac, okeke, wcj, Bamba + 2 1sts, + whatever they get for Gordon?

Promising. Good on them finally making the necessary moves.

Man whichever of Philly/Miami does not get Lowry really let an opportunity get away from them. And I guess both if the Lakers somehow steal him but I hate that package a lot for the Raps so...

Orlando finally doing this 4 years too late, but so glad they went scorched earth today. MAgic fans have to be doing cartwheels and backflips that the team would eventually like to be better than a 7 seed.
