Going to fire up the smoker and do a burger and some roasted corn and zucchini & halloumi.

Or will I just have like 25 notifications, hop on excitedly and just find replied to replies of replies of this quote with no action yet?

Make sure you bring enough to share with the class.

I agree with you Zimpy but I think Portland needs another or different piece with Hart and Dort being somewhat redundant. I wonder if it could tie into a Turner trade with 12+Bledsoe heading to Indiana? Then they could look for a small forward with Hart + young guys + maybe the Washington 1st. Not sure who that guy would be.

I know nothing of this player, but I'm guessing this is someone the Kings want to bring over to play right now?

Makes sense. 6’9” forward who’s a great shooter (I know nothing else about him.

Sounds like someone the Cavs could use? Wonder what they are up to adding 2's? Maybe the trade down rumors have some merit adding 2's for a future first.

He might want a large enough salary (which would cost a Cleveland a chunk of their MLE, taxpayer or non taxpayer) that Cleveland might not be willing to pay?

I doubt it. $1.5M in cash was included as well

That's interesting for sure.

Any chance of this?
7 to OKC
Hart+Little+12+WAS23FRP to TOR
OG+Dort to POR

Zero chance. OG > 7 and Dort > Hart/Little so not sure why portland is getting both

I think someone that Toronto really likes would have to fall to 12 to pull the trigger. Would Portland be ok on waiting to do the 2nd half of that trade until 12 is on the clock? I don't think Portland can risk it, unless they have a good fall back option to trade 12, seems like too many balls in the air though.

Must have been a bit of cash

Lakers need picks like this to find upperclassman who can play. Probably paid a premium to get it this early in the day.
