Play in starts in about a week, really don’t see him coming back for that.

Good catch on your first point!

I’m wondering how likely it is a team gives up a chance at the play in/play offs and the additional revenue that comes with it for a couple more % at a top pick. Right now we don’t really see teams throwing the first play in round just to get in the lottery so I think it’s unlikely but I do he the concern.

I still believe they should have hired nurse to replace Bud and this would have gone much better.

What a relief, hopefully this continues as they work to transition to renewables.

Reasonably to me was ~40-50 games. Expecting 65+ games from him would be “unreasonable”.

I think having a full year of young and half of year of AD is enough to make the playin and maybe playoffs in the East.

Losing Hali for the year and losing turner was pretty big. They had injuries to start the year too so after that I think they just leaned into the tank.

It was against the wizards and the heat were apparently fouling while up a ton just to give bam more shots. Like it’s impressive but Kobe’s 81 was definitely more “honest”.

I knew eventually someone would break Kobe’s record but wasn’t expecting it to be Bam, but happy for him!

Always set the bake timer, it’s saved me so many time lol

Not surprising and just another reason to hate this dude.

Same feeling, I don’t like him at all but felt like he some sort of send off was appropriate compared to whatever this was.

Makes sense why the Warriors made the deal they did then. I knew the situation wasn’t great but this was worse than I thought.

Yeah the tanking teams getting stars was a fun surprise, we’ll have to see how it works out next year.

Heard raptors aren’t gonna make CP3 report so we’ll see if he’s a buyout candidate. Not sure who takes him tho.

Yeah I feel like Vuc to the Celtics is bigger than it seems just since they had no one good to play center and have still been doing pretty well so far.

I don’t either lol I kept waiting to post it cause I was waiting for the rest of the details and that was just it.

I get Kuminga wanted out but there had to be something better and if not let him have a run the rest of the year then to improve his worth, think there was still a year left on his contract right?

Yeah I like their moves, feel like there doing what they can to sort out the future so it’s not as grim as it was looking

It 100% looks worse lol. Saw somewhere it means the Luka return was basically the same as JJJ but the Mavs got lucky (or given) with the pick that got Flagg.

Not too surprised Giannis stayed since the offers will be better in the summer.

JJJ and AD getting traded to where they did was definitely a surprise though. Also surprised Ja didn’t get moved but the market for him is the lowest it’s ever going to be so guess it makes sense to try and get more this summer.

Yeah that was a huge mistake by them, Zubac is a good replacement but they should have just paid Turner.
