Been a while since I checked in. Of course friday can't come fast enough. Fuck the media shitstorm surrounding AD and rich paul. Trading for him would.be nice but I'm getting s headache
The latest rumor from LA Times is that Pelicans are going to ask for another first rounder and for us to take back another contract, probably Solomon Hill tbh. I don't think we're desperate enough to do that but who knows. Also, fuck Gregg Popovich for allegedly telling Dell Demps to not trade Anthony Davis to us. Akin to Dan Gilbert and Mark Cuban telling David Stern it would be a travesty for the Chris Paul trade to have gone down because rarely do we ever see a team get the best player and dump salary in a trade, though the Raptors pulled it off in the Kawhi deal and nobody said shit.
DeMar DeRozan the salary dump???
Fuck Popovich. Bitter old man just retire and go away already. How is what he doing not tampering? Directly influencing another front office in what to do with its players? Lol double standards Adam silver
Yes, a salary dump.
John Wall.... really?
Eastern conference just got a lot more exciting:
Sixers acquire Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, Mike Scott for Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, 2020 first-rounder, 2021 unprotected 1st via Miami and two second rounders in 2021 and 2023.
Clippers basically get additional draft picks without affecting their summer cap space too much in their pursuit of free agents. Could also swing a trade for Anthony Davis. If they miss playoffs this season, their pick to Celtics does not get conveyed, thus simultaneously strengthening their offer for AD and weakening the Celtics'.
Jerry West just turned Blake Griffin into Avery Bradley, Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, 2018 first (Miles Bridges who was traded for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), 2020 first (PHI), 2021 first (MIA), 2019 second, 2021 second (PHI), and 2023 second (PHI).

Mitotic to the Bucks, Gasol to the raptors, the seven Philly deals, the arms race is real
He's a restricted free agent this summer. We won't be able to afford his offer sheet anyway.
Fuck the Bucks actually scare me now.
Sad to see the longest tenured Raptor on the team in JV go (along with fan favorite Delon Wright) but I think Masai felt the pressure to get something done before the deadline in light of Milwaukee's and Philly's moves. Guess that confirms we're in win-now mode. Eastern conference semifinals + finals are going to be really interesting.

we were in win now mode the moment we acquired kahwi mate
Bulls legend Rondo at it again.
Btw Ingram got hacked on the way to the rim but 10000 IQ refs knew he'd brick the FTs so let it play into Chandler and thus Rondo's hand
