When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Yeah Fultz is very competitive from everything I've read and seen and I think he wanted the challenge of joining a playoff team.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

id obviously really like PG in Houston but i have no earthly idea what Houston could offer that makes any remote sense

what i mean is expect ryan anderson and lou williams to be pacers by tomorrow

I guess the Rockets main hope is that their offer will be the least worst and the Pacers want to get it done.

Zach Lowe talked about Gordon as the main salary matcher, plus some combo of Bev+prospects+picks

I wouldn't trade Butler for that but I guess the draft is deep this year.

like I probably would have been fine if we at least kept 16.

I get why Butler was moved, but gently caress giving up the pick.

I do not understand that trade. There has to be more to it. If that's it sorry to Chicago fans that sucks that's the worst trade since Hield for Cousins, which was the worst trade since Bargnani for a first round pick (that became Murray?)

It uh, seems like an OK deal to me? Chicago gets a high draft pick and two promising young players. Unless you're convinced that Dunn will always suck poo poo.

E: oh, just saw that it was for Butler and the sixteenth pick. I still don't think it's lopsided but that makes it a lil worse for sure.

Every team will need to get their SG to defend either Butler or Wiggins (who has a great post game). You won't need to defend beyond the arc, though.
