    Someone has a premature threading problem.

    I hear there are drugs for that.

    I do not know, but August 1st is a major milestone in this saga. We will get the answer to your question in two more sleeps.

    Imo (ignorantly, my opinion) had they gotten a deal done i feel we would already know if it involved him. They may not say it by name but we would have a trade in principle.

    Again, ignorantly my opinion.

    Suns fans are debating whether Eubanks or Bol Bol should be backup Center. Why not play them both?
    Imagine a team with 2 bigs on the court at the same time. It's been awhile since the Blazers used a twin tower lineup.

    Each one is basically a 4/5 combo anyway. Bol has a perimeter game and is too skinny to bang in the post, but he's clearly a superior rim protector, whereas Drew has the energy/athleticism to play the 4, but doesn't really play outside the paint. So they could actually (theoretically) complement each other pretty well.

    lol...c'mon

    Butler's contract runs thru 2025. He's be 36 years old in 2 years. Why the hell would Miami give him more than 61M'year when he's 36-39?

    Maybe Pat Riley wants to trade him after he signs to the Blazers?

    It’s finally August. All other posts before THIS one need to be moved to that loser July thread.
