Getting Avdija and his contract for assets — but not an overpay at all … IMHO — as a result of months of setting it up to get it done last summer....
Smart, strategic, calculated defenders are so much fun to watch. They don’t have to try for blatant, obvious, dramatic intimidation. They do the job...
Guys with some attitude, intensity, physicality who will lay the wood — not dirty as much as send a message. Clingan has those beginnings and will...
Toumani and Deni are already looking like starters for 2025-2026. Clingan is the heir apparent center? Does anyone expect Ayton to beat him next year...
Simons can look better on D than he used to and is against starters, but he needs trading. His gravity on O and shooting from 2-3 levels are also...
Sharpe (and his handles) and Scoot have significantly improved this season. Not ready yet but better. With Clingan and Camara’s D and some O … Deni...
Clingan, Avdija, Camara — young quality. Any potential all star selections? (Injury replacement player?) Maybe. Scoot, Sharpe — same comment, same...
Ant for Black in a package to Orlando this summer would be good. This can be one of those trades conversations that was — but just did not happen,...
Make it to the playoffs, get swept, and pay off Chicago with the pick. Keep Ayton, Simons, and Grant because it’s now a “playoff team” with guys in...
Ant and Grant are good players. Not all star or almost all star or whatever people tried to say CJ was. Good. Grant will be too old for the next...
All about the contracts … Grant can be traded this summer … with his longer contract sooner is better. By February, 2026, Ayton has to be gone as...
TimeLord + Reath with the Lakers new center needs. Reaves (+ filler) won’t see the ball much with LBJ and Doncic. A 3-guard rotation of Scoot, Reaves...
When Shams carried water for Golden State about GP2 and Toradol, it doesn’t mean he lied. But when he did not clearly do a mea culpa with the...
If the 2031 pick has 1-5 pick protection and broke that way for them, that sucks for the Blazers. And if that 1st cannot be conveyed from the deal...
Camara, Avdija, and Clingan look good moving forward with plenty of work to do for all three -- and all three should be long-time Blazers. Sharpe is...
Currently in 7th for draft lottery position. A reasonable "bad" run in the second half, and they can get to 5th. The tank goes full bore post-All...
Ayton’s motor? Not a strength. He’s good but could be excellent or above. Toumani and Deni have motor. The more that Shaedon works on D, the better...
Let a team that was relevant not that long ago win the trade and both teams remain under the cap. PTD trades Ayton, Grant, Simons BRK trades Ben...
Chauncey Billups is HOF, but looking at his numbers (as he became an efficient free throw shooter and 3 pt shooter) … and ALL the teams he played on...
What’s the over/under on how many games it takes before LeBron gets the word out on his unhappiness with management? I’m at 20.5.
