(I'm serious)


I'm rooting for the Mavs and Nuggets to close their series out. Sign Kawhi to a max deal- whatever contract structure he wants- and than do a sign and trade for Lillard centered around 4 1st round picks and either RJ or Randle (preferably Julius.) Maybe have to throw in IQ or Obi in the deal as well.

That's how you build a championship level team quickly. Go after disgruntled superstars that keep getting bounced out early every year in the playoffs because their teams are in luxury tax hell and can't possibly improve their roster much.

We get Lillard and Leonard here and we'll be able to get top quality players during the AS break who get bought out from their teams and are looking to ring chase. Why can't we be the team that does this? We have tons of money, a treasure trove of draft picks and supposedly a FO that's well connected throughout the league. I imagine the perception around the league of this franchise has changed dramatically after the season we had.

It allows us to push the cap space to 2022 when theres better players available..


they gonna send us the 16th pick to take him? Maybe


Then we Bundle 21,19. and 16 to move into the top ten! :D

The moment Brad sits on the POBO chair, possible Kemba trade is the first news that came out...

He must have hated coaching Kemba.

I feel like I've said it a thousand times already, but away teams wearing the white jerseys is just wrong.

Another reason I hate Adam Silver.

Knox is god awful, true... but devil's advocate MPJ had very serious injury concerns. There was a reason he slipped so low and so many teams passed up on him...

The one that kills me is Frank over Donovan Mitchell... Because Phil wanted a "true PG" instead of a combo guard... The Knicks were seriously considering Donovan smfh... I think that pick was parting f*** you to Dolan. Only justification.

Ayton the god.

I remember pre draft the knock on him was that he can’t be a winning player and he plays defense like Kanter. He’s completely changed the narrative. Very happy for him

We really passed on MPJ for Knox :lol:

No matter how many times we say it, it just doesn't want to sink in.

SGA equally haunts me from that 2018 draft. We don’t even need to tank.. we just need to make better draft choices :lol:
