Thoughts on Ant to Indiana and Grant to Atlanta?
Pacers have young players/picks and Ant would be a flamethrower with Hali.
With ATL we could have a trade centered around Hunter (solid young 3/D) and expiring salaries. Maybe send RWIII or Tyse as well.
These collabs with Brandon have been great! Given Deni’s unusual contract situation, what do you think their plan is going forward? Is he just there to help the young guys develop and establish a team identity before being flipped to a contender in a couple years? I’d have a hard time believing the front office wasn’t privy to this detail and that they’d trade so much draft capital for a guy they’re gonna let walk before the team has any hopes of contending. Also, I get what Brandon means by recouping the second round picks, but they could have done that regardless and the reason they were able to is that they traded quality for quantity. I think it’s fair to simply consider the second round picks as compensation for the salary difference
Cronin signed Devonte Graham, he has no idea how to manage a basketball team. Blazers are cooked for the next decade
Blazers don't want DLo and I agree
6:09 Why are we forgetting that Dame didn't give a list. He gave the Blazers
☝🏽team. The saltiness about Dame being traded to a contender is mind boggling.
Big dog Mike back at it with the heat
What about What about
Lakers receive: Jerami Grant, Jevon Carter, Duop Reath and the Bulls 2029 second round pick
Blazers receive: Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, Dalton Knecht, their own first round pick back from the Bulls, the Bulls 2028 First round pick, the Lakers 2027 Second round pick
Bulls receive: D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Robert Williams III
Bringing Deni back by Trade does not seem to match up with Tanking for Flagg. What if Deni addition gives PDX 5 TO 10 More wins?
▪︎Are More Fast Breaks Coming This Season?
One can surmise that the addition of Donovan and Deni, along with Scoot's growth and maturation, should result in a noticeable and appreciable increase in fast breaks and points from them.
We will all freak if Deni has more assists than Scoot…
Kris Murray: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy required asap.
Hey Brendan…….maybe "ant" is still here because his trade value sucks. The day they gave him 25m I posted on the forums it was one of the worst contracts ever handed out by the organization ever.
