    Somewhat offtopic, but this Barry dude who kept tweeting that Portland was insane for not accepting Duncan Robinson for Dame is still miserable af:

    Nothing Miami was offering was better than Jrue Holiday...

    Or even close.

    And there it is, seconds….you know, like the early second round picks we sold for cash last year. Pretty sweet that Brogdan and rob williams both will return us nothing.

    Well its good we carved out $100 million of salary for Ayton, Grant, Ant, Timelord, Thybulle over the last few years and all are basically worthless.

    Cronin is such a great GM!

    Let's all lose our mind over a report from Mike Scotto. You guys will never learn.

    two first round picks brought Deni here. Brogdon was just salary filler to make the deal work,

    just checked:

    currently, Orlando is 2nd in defensive rating; and they are 28th in offensive rating; and they are 30th in 3ptFG%; and 30th in points

    it's been done to death, but halfway thru the season, Simons makes more sense in Orlando than he did in the summer. They have a defense that could cover up Ant's flaws and their offense need lots of help

    Cole Anthony + Gary Harris + 2025 1st (better of Orlando/Denver) for Simons

    Blazers waive Reath (or trade him for a 2nd) to make room on the roster

    Makes even more sense with Suggs having possible nagging back issues.

    Maybe just maybe Ant and Jerami won't be here in three weeks, we'll have waived the salary we receive in return and have picks and/or porspects to show for those two. I really doubt that happens because with Joe we don't get rosters that make sense... haven't had one roster at any point during Cronin's tenure that made sense together Joe has fucking said so himself.

    Joe might have good ideas or maybe he only has bad ideas but if he does have good ideas he is fucking shitty and executing them to this point, so the ideas have no value... I'm just keeping hope for now that Joe turns things around and we have a roster that makes sense for the first time in three weeks but my expectations are bleak.

    Let's hope they can't read boxscores, specifically the Clippers game boxscore.

    ...except they have Anthony Black and Cole Anthony, who has been leading amazing comebacks of late.

    Orlando's front office has shown amazing canniness and patience the past few years and I don't see that changing, unfortunately for us.

    Only vets we'll offload without a buyout are Timelord and possibly Thybulle (if he's ever healthy).
