    Looks like "fungible" should now join "bifurcate" in the pantheon of Neil Olshey word-of-the-day submissions.

    Who are the 3 expiring contracts he's talking about? Aminu, Curry and Layman?

    Curry has a player option though and the only other expiring contract is Hood who they can't trade.

    The statement you made, it
    is incorrect as stated
    Hood could've been traded
    just not aggregated.

    Word...

    Almost like pulling a string in his back... it's so fucking predictable what will come out of his mouth.

    He really should add “lackluster” as it is so descriptive of most of his moves.

    Yea but who are we talking about. I would have been more pissed if he would have included Jake in a package for someone like Mirotic, but OK for someone like Harris.

    well, I think he's bullshitting but the way he reviewed the Hood trade, a BIG trade could have been Harkless + 1st for Mirotic. To him, that's a big trade, and even if the Pels immediately dismissed it, it was still on the table till Mirotic was traded
