Well, the only reason Ainge didn't call about DMC is because he clearly has a deal for Jimmy Butler or Paul George. Definitely. Definitely not gonna end up drafting some flotsam with the 3rd pick again

Personally I think the first round pick for bargnani was worse but I know kings fans can't look objectively right now because they just scored a galloway

If Langston Galloway gets waived he's going to Cleveland, right? Or will someone claim him off waivers. I don't remember the last time that happened.

It is actually vitally important to me that Galloway can continue playing in the NBA somewhere and be legitimately happy with where he lands.

Reverse standings for teams with space. I would have to think both of Philly and Brooklyn have interest in a guard who can shoot a little for like 2 mil remaining this year then a player option for 5 mil.

Yes the Sixers could definitely claim Galloway, and I hope they do.

The only way this is excusable is if Cousins told Sacramento that he'd never resign with them and that this was literally the only offer they could get for the guy that wasn't a ridiculous lowball.

This transaction seems to favour the team from New Orleans slightly more than the team from Sacramento. To a rather absurd degree. Should the league void it for "basketball reasons"? Perhaps for "sanity" reasons?

But Cousins told the media and teammates and the team that he wanted to stay, and he's losing out on tens of millions of dollars

at least play some loving hardball instead of taking the first offer you get
