    Thank you Siakam for tanking your own trade value so we don't trade for you.

    The price to trade for him anyway has been so insane, it's probably moot anyway.

    Brandon Miller looks like he knows he’s a Blazer with that suit!

    I did notice that. I warmed up to him when he said Paul George was his GOAT. Not because i like Junk George. But i can't stand Michael DooDad. And when he said name the best Jordan highlight, he mentioned a missed , air ball freethrow. I was like "Right On" kid. My favorite Jordan highlight is Clyde going up & under Jordan's armpit to dunk on him in the '92 All Star Game.

    Wouldn't he get more in Toronto similar to how Brown gets more if he stays in Boston?

    What if Miller wanted to come here and that's why he was talking all of that shit. I mean obviously the dude thinks he's funny but saying that shit about Jordan not being the GOAT and everything was pretty extra.

    I was gonna go to the live thing 1080 the fan was doing but it was a rooftop bar where you needed to do valet parking and even their happy hour was expensive. So I'm staying home for this draft.

    Well Siakam does qualify for the supermax but I'm not sure Toronto will pay him the supermax. I wouldn't want to give him the supermax and I like Siakam, I think he's really good.

    If you're Miller, wouldn't you rather play with Dame?

    Would they be ok losing him for nothing if it comes down to it?

    Not sure if it was that, or just being young & dumb… but it was certainly well within the boundaries of “pretty extra,” IMO. Would be weird if that was (at least part of) his motivation, but I s’pose not entirely unheard of?

    Again, why would Toronto extend him? They're going nowhere
