    man Sabonis is good but trading Haliburton and rocking with Fox is a mistake imo

    Yeah, I like Haliburton more than Fox but they did just get a lot more balanced and just better overall... which is great for us. We'll have out tanked them in just a few games.

    If you decide to put yourself into the public eye and be an entertainer, you have to accept the good and the bad. Whether you're an actor, or an athlete, or a dude on youtube, you have to accept that some people will not like your work. You can't take it personally. So any criticisms that I have for CJ are purely about his product. Not him as a person. I took some lumps as a writer. Some goes with the territory.

    We can trade the new Orleans one. We can't move ours until after the pick is made.

    ... by the Bulls, so when we make it this draft it will lock up all future picks until the next draft... unless and this is likely, we miss the playoffs again and then it's pushed back another year. I think at that point we will be able to trade our 2030 first if we wanted to though.

    Trying to understand the Pacers here.

    So they've got a lineup of:

    Haliburton
    Brogdan
    ?
    ?
    Turner

    with an 20 mil Hield off the bench?

    This trade also makes a TPE big enough for any of those same targets.

    Duarte too. Gotta think they'll make other moves. Plus they should add a high draft pick like us.

    Regardless, I think any Turner move is off the table. They got no other bigs.

    And what do we offer with that TPE? That's the problem. Our non-financial assets (i.e., draft picks) are non-existent.

    I agree. It was going to be Sabonis or Turner. They chose Turner to stay.

    I don't want to give up that NO pick for Grant. But Johnson and NAW and any future second, have at it.
