    so then like most trade scenarios fans come up with, it's absolutely not going to happen.

    Are the Lakers supposed to be good now with Lebron?
    They're down by 20 at home to the Bulls.

    For some reason DLo didn’t play and the box score says it was a DNPCD. I think he’s their third best player, so that was weird.

    From my pov they’re a really good team and could but won’t necessarily beat any team in the league in a seven game if they’re rotation is DLo, Beasley, Vando, LeBron, AD, Reeves, Schroder, Brown, Walker and Rui. It’s just that LeBron hasn’t played with a bunch of those guys yet. We’ll see what happens if they mesh and stay healthy.

    One weird thing from today’s game is that while they’ve been winning more lately AD has been dominating and today he only took 8 shots in 36 minutes 6 of which he made.

    have a real hard time seeing the Mavs having the cap-space to land Grant. They have 109M in guaranteed contracts and the cap-holds for Kyrie (46M), Christian Wood (22M), and Dwight Powell (16.5M). And they'd have either a 4M charge for a draft pick or a 1M roster charge

    Can't believe they'd renounce rights to Kyrie, Wood, & Powell just to sign Grant

    and if they lose all three but still have their draft pick, with 3 roster charges they'd probably have less than 20M in space. Portland would happily top that by a couple of million

    Doubly delusional. Wonder if they go get a lottery ticket and just expect the top prize.

    Blazers need to go after Jaylen Brown then start Shaedon. Let Simons be our 6th man

    I thought HCP stole it from Ben Davis? Was Ben Davis actually Kevin Durant this whole time!?!?!

    KD is bothered by it because he fears it to be true. If Barkley told him he was 5ft2 with red hair and freckles he would die laughing because there is no shred of truth to it.

    And how in the hell do we end up with Dame, Jaylen, Simons, and Shaedon? I don't think there exists a scenario where this is possible.
