    Agreed.
    Also signing E Gordon.
    They REALLY need a good PG

    I'd send them Brogdon but they have zero assets.

    Fun fact.

    Beal has as many win shares this season as Landry Shamet, the player that was thrown in.

    Yes, it is definitely not looking good in Phoenix.

    That is so very fitting. Sure would piss a bunch of people off though.

    Durant to the Blazers! We could finally fix the mistake of the Blazers not honking twice and it could encourage LMA to come out of retirement so he can finally become the greatest Blazer ever!

    it was a much more complex trade then I initially thought. Bilal Coulibaly is a fun player for the Wizards, and the Pacers get to develop young big Jarace Walker. The Suns 2nd round picks and 1st round swaps are scattered out for the rest of this decade. Chris Paul is helping the Warriors more then anticipated. And the new owner in Phoenix has to pay mad taxes for an SG that used to be really good in DC.

    especially when Suns fans demand a trade veto, after they see the junk package L.A. sends over to get KD.

    This is the stuff I like. Can't get me to comment on a trade thread but it sure is fun to look at the outcomes of the big trades.

    Beal hasn't been good in a long time.
    That trade was stupid beyond measure

    Lakers, Suns, and Warriors were supposed to be contenders. Instead, they’re battling for bottom play-in spots. Suns never should’ve traded Bridges/Ayton/Paul.

    "Miami's gain?" What? They aren't anywhere close to being a championship contender. LMAO. All they were offering was 2 picks supposedly. We have no idea if they were including Jaquez.

    We got a better deal than what was being proposed. We got more picks/swaps and Camara who is an ELITE defensive player and foundational piece going forward. Saying all that, I do like Jacquez, but there's no evidence that was being offered as of now.

    Still won’t let the dame to Miami shit go. Fuck Miami . They offered shit and everyone knows that. There is zero evidence they offered Herro AND Robinson AND the rookie AND picks. They wanted a bargain. MIA’s gain? Yeah right.

    Yeah, there was never a single report that Jaquez was included in the trade offer.

    If Miami had truly offered the godfather deal of Jaquez, Jovic, Herro and two picks, they would have been screaming it to the media. They did not.

    the Dame to Miami trade was 100% rumors. The Blazers & Heat never even spoke to each other. Miami probably would have offered Lowry & Duncan and a couple 2nd rounders for Lillard. It was funny watching all those Miami podcasters get excited over media faker mcfakeyness.

    Would love to see Monty get a win tonight vs the Nets. Also enjoying the Pistons demise since I am originally a Pacer fan.
