    I think we did, I texted someone last night if the Suns lose 2 in a row to us at full strength they are more than a player away.

    With all these big name players being talked about being moved I wonder if our 2nd and 3rd tier vets even have a market.

    The KD mantra has always been: if you can't beat them, join them. So...

    Super crazy that he can age 2 years in 8 months.

    He said he will only accept a trade to a team that was in the finals the prior year, so obviously Boston. Dallas is an odd fit now though.

    That’s nothing. I aged 4-5 years when my first kid was born.

    I am so tired of KD and his whiney bitch ass but he can get away with it since he is a Top 5 to 10 player .

    You won't have to worry about it much longer.

    Looks like Nurkic to Washington for Valanciunas is close to happening.

    I'm not as down on most players as you are and that includes KD but yeah I wouldn't fuck with the chemistry if I was OKC.

    He's certainly not top5 today, I'd argue not top10 either.

    He hasn't won shit since a 73 win team took him to the finals.

    Durant is not a ball hog. He usually takes high percentage shots at this point in his career.

    Nurk's ego is gonna be so bruised I wouldn't be surprised if he threatened retiring. Only kidding, but nobody really seems to want him and he seems fragile. Like the arrogance and swagger are just fronts.

    I love this guy so much. He's usually a football guy but he's so damn funny.

    The Blazers are a Cooper Flagg away from becoming a perennial playoff team that can contend

    Tank the rest of the way, get lucky.

    Scoot
    Sharpe
    Flagg
    Avdija
    Camara
    Ayton
    Clingan

    Get value for Grant / Ant / Timelord / Thybulle, use assets to round the roster

    I'm delusional
