    He absolutely should have traded Aminu/Curry for Mirotic if that was an option. But, I think spending a 1st round pick on an expiring contract isn't a good idea. And from NOP's perspective, 2nd round picks are more attractive than Aminu+Curry.

    Welp... another year, another playoff run with basically the same crew. Hopefully Hood can recapture some of his glory days. 2nd round is about the best we can hope for.

    Clips have no need to trade Gallo now. They just opened up more space.

    go back and find where it was I criticized Olshey for not trading for Mirotic after the trade was announced. If you can, then your point is good. if you can't, then it isn't

    I was criticizing the notion that Portland didn't have expiring contracts sufficient for the deal, or the draft assets sufficient for the deal. They had both

    I've haven't wanted Mirotic approaching this trade deadline. After the trade for Hood, I can see the logic of a Harkless + a 1st for Mirotic but I was ambivalent about it

    as for Aminu and Curry. I question if either will be back next year, especially Aminu. Portland will be way too close to the tax threshold and they have to re-sign Layman. I think he'll be the priority. A PF rotation of Mirotic + Zach...is it better than Aminu + Zach? Worse? I think acting like it's some big downgrade is loopy

    Haha - I was thinking about that quote earlier! Too lazy to pull it up, but Lavar could sure learn from Dame about how to speak things into existence!

    Oddly enough, one of my 'sauces' mentioned Charlotte as a team he heard Portland had contacted. Then the speculation of that some 30+ pages back was....Kaminsky.

    Wojnarowski - Toronto is planning to send Jonas Valanciunas, Delon Wright, CJ Milles and a 2024 second-round pick to the the Grizzlies for Gasol, league sources tell ESPN.

    I think JV is a lot better than the amount of minutes he plays. Good deal for Memphis.
