    ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Magic have waived Bol Bol.
    Bol had a breakout campaign in his first (and apparently only) season with the Magic, operating as a top-75 fantasy option for stretches throughout. The Lakers or Mavericks might be interested in the services of a stretch five, but realistically, any team wishing to acquire him could do so on the cheap. Bol’s ability to hit three-pointers and block shots makes him an intriguing fantasy option if he lands with a team willing to give him substantial minutes.

    You can copy and post the actual link from Twitter on here in case anybody wants to go see it and the replies. Makes it easier actually.

    Mavs acquiring Grant Williams from the Celtics in a sign-and-trade. Why didn't we try to get him? Seems like we could have really used a player like that. Mavs gave up 3 second rounders to get him. AND they're still signing Matisse to an offer sheet. Seems like ONE team is really TRYING to get its star to stick around, huh JOE CRONIN???

    According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors have signed Trayce Jackson-Davis to a four-year deal.
    Jackson-Davis’ draft rights were acquired from the Wizards as part of the Chris Paul trade, and he could be in line for minutes on the back end of the Warriors’ rotation this season. The former Indiana standout has agreed to a deal in which the first two seasons are guaranteed, a clear sign of what Warriors’ decision-makers think of him. Golden State hasn’t been afraid to go small with Draymond Green logging a few minutes at the five, and this may limit TJD’s early fantasy value. But he’s worth keeping an eye on, especially if the college skill set carries over into the NBA.

    Noticing a pattern in your posts...Every player another team signs is not a failure by the Blazers. They have a little trade they need to work through before they start picking up random scraps.

    Agreed.
    I don't think Grant Williams is very good to be honest. This is more of a 'good for them' type signing.

    Fouls like a man possessed. I guess he is trying to play defense?

    Some of them were pretty weak calls. The SL refs suck.

    We don't know what we need right now. We won't know what we need until we see what we get back for Lillard.

    I can guarantee we need Defense, with or without what we get from a Dame trade. Grant doesn't provide enough to worry about but Matisse does.

    I want dudes like Thybulle to be around Shae and Scoot.

    Also I think it was Highkin who said that the guy is extremely cerebral. He always has a book in his hands. That’s the kind of guy I want on this team.
