That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Remember when the Kings signed a bunch of vets to short contracts to make a playoff run in their new arena, were in the ballpark of pulling it off, then they blew it all up?

What's that gotta do with the present

I respect vivek now, he obviously wanted nothing to do with the supermax and set a plan to get rid of him while lying to his face the whole time so boogie couldn't poison the koolaid before leaving and the second cousins is out of town for a week he pulled the trigger

Probably a better offer if we actually had a pick to offer this decade

Yeah, same.

Really, I could've accepted Ingram going too just to keep Magic away even if Cousins really left year after next.

I guess if Embiid doesn't play enough minutes to qualify Buddy has a shot at ROY. In 100 years looking back if they traded for the 2017 ROY it won't seem that bad.

The funny thing to me is that it's such a bad deal I'm wondering if this was some crazy impulse decision since the deadline isn't till Thursday. Bill Simmons is going to kill himself because Boston could have made a way better offer, and hell I'm sure so could have four other teams.

I'm not going to be all "they lost a fan" because I already went down that road several years ago. It just is an awful addition to Vlade's legacy as the worst GM this side of Isiah Thomas.

This was for sure an impulse trade

Yeah at least Orlando can say they're blowing it up and they're saving money. I don't know what the gently caress the plan is in Sac-town. They'd better hope Buddy Hield starts shooting like his surname is Curry, or that they get lucky in the draft. Otherwise they're hosed.
