    I don't do it on every page.

    I also don't bust your balls for rehashing a lot of the same points over and over regarding Nurk or other topics...

    I don't know who this is but Ben Simmons is young and they'd be selling very low. I'm not saying a Ben Simmons trade in the next 13 and a half hours would surprise me but unless there's some inside info behind this tweet I think it's a coin toss.

    well, the Pelicans getting Wembeyana in the draft took a giant hit tonight. The Lakers got a whole lot better....for fucking Westbrook for chrissakes

    It will be a lot easier to forget about him once his stink is off the team.

    Many are accurate points, so I have no problem with you restating them.

    I wish you felt the same way...

    I'm all out on the Ben train after being at the forefront for years. That guy sucks.

    the guys i want to pry from BK are Bridges or Cam.

    Bridges has to be #1 on Dame's list of targets. Dame had him be a counselor at his camp this summer and had him in Cabo for his bday bash.

    I'm so glad the Blazers didn't attempt to go all-in this season. Would've been a total waste!

    If they would give back some draft capital I'd give up Ant and Nurk for him but looking at what the Nets are doing I don't think that's what they'd want. I was just trying to say that due to Simmons being 26 and his value being at an all time low, I think it's either unlikely or at best a 50/50 chance that the Nets will trade him right now despite the tweet I was replying to that said it was going to happen.

    I suspect that the trade hasn't been submitted yet and Cronin might be trying to do that

    not to get Simmons...that's nuts, but to do more than he has. Otherwise the Blazer have to waive a player, likely Greg Brown

    Lakers added a bunch of quality players

    Phoenix added Durant

    These teams leapfrogged Cronin’s Blazers

    West is loaded

    This is what all-in looks like for the Blazers.

    What if you could get him on the cheap?

    I can't see any reason for the Nets to try and trade Bridges, Johnson, Claxton. Keeping solid young talent is exactly what they need to do. Dumping them and becoming the worst team in the league so the Rockets get the #1 pick doesn't make much sense.
