OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JUNE 2023

^^^^ What The Flush ?!?

 

There goes that trade idea?

 

Wtf Gay and a second?

That's it?

Now this is the kinda shit that pisses me off if Cronin can't get deals.

 

I mean, he is not worth much, especially on his contract and counting stat regression.

 

will have to be in July when the Jazz have space for an unbalanced trade

Hawks just giving Collins away

wow!

 

Jazz will have the cap-space to do this trade. Blazers don't

 

So after Ainge took all Twolves 600 first round picks, now he got Collins for Rudy Gay?

 

We couldn't offer any free space.

 

I don't know what the fuck this is but it had me laughing pretty hard. So is this just a joke or do you actually have a credible source about Murray's toilet habits?

 

Always an excuse. Sigh.

Before, we didn't have assets. Now we dont have capspace. We coulda tried to open up room if we had some creativity to create an unbalanced trade.

 

Well..... they don't need guards and we don't have any contracts to trade. If this is a salary dump, we couldn't accommodate it.

 

That's cool and all but when Dame is thinking about leaving I don't think it's going to be a lack of understanding why moves couldn't get done that makes him want to leave; just that win now deals haven't been done here while others have elsewhere. I don't think Dame will have to be angry at Joe to request a trade, I think he'll just need to understand that the team has chosen its future over his desire to win as much as possible right now.

 

The excuse is they didn't want Collins. I think everything we've heard about this FO is that they're extremely picky. It's likely Collins is/was never a target.

Not saying that's right or wrong. I think a valid criticism is that this FO is too risk averse. (Sound familiar?)

 

Or cheap.

 

Yeah, it smells like Olshey.

Just putting it out there.

 

When diving into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of professional basketball, one often uncovers a hidden tapestry of individuals who play crucial roles in the success of the teams. Among these unsung heroes are the janitors, whose access to intimate spaces and privileged knowledge can often provide invaluable insights. Over time, I've developed an extraordinary source network of janitors, each possessing a treasure trove of anecdotes, insider information, and perspectives that shed light on the inner workings of NBA teams. Here are a few other tidbits I've picked up:

• Rasheed used to love looking at guys next to him at urinals and saying "what's up little man" to their member.
• Detlef Schrempf was banned from eating sauerkraut at the Sonics facility because it gave Shawn Kemp the runs. It led to a few altercations.
• In addition to the gun, Gilbert Arenas used to love bringing a grappling hook to the locker room and yelling "I'm batman you piece of shit" to his coach Eddie Jordan.

I hope this glimpse into my source network piques your interest and showcases the untapped potential that can be found in the unlikeliest of places. As a journalist, my goal is to bring unique perspectives and narratives to light, and the janitors of NBA teams have certainly played a significant role in achieving that.

 

wut?

I don't want to stand in the way of your melt-down...but....the reality of this trade is simple and that's the 40M in cap-space Utah will have on July 6

Atlanta gets to dump a player they had soured on to the tune of saving 72M in payroll. And they get a 25M TPE plus a 2nd round pick attached to those savings. The Blazers could have offered Simon and two 2nd's and the Hawks would have pretty clearly turned that down because Simon has the same deal as Collins and Atlanta values that TPE and saved salary

 

No meltdown. Yet. Just bored of the inactivity.
