"Oh no, he is threatening us that he will pass on the best player in the draft because he is playing 20th dimensional chess, quick trade them Julius Randle" - Danny Ainge, probably

Ainge: hey magic I hear you really like this Ball kid
Magic: passing the ball leads to assists
Ainge: shame if someone drafted him before you
Magic: you drafting Ball means I can't draft Ball
Ainge: if someone offered me a DeAngelo Russell I might be persuaded to pass on Ball
Magic: Number two picks after number one
Ainge: gently caress I have to go

stop making poo poo up he's Kevin Durant women are lining up volunteering to fart in his face

I like when he demanded Kaylee tell him who told her that and she said someone from Coyote Ugly, he said that didn't help him out. Dude is mad trolling Coyote Ugly for farts

I bet Dome rear end Kevin doesn't care about who farts in face, but more so the timbre and flavors of the fart.

Kevin Durant sits in a dark booth in the back of Coyote Ugly. He motions to a man standing guard next to the booth. When the guard comes over he points to a girl eating a broccoli salad and says "Her. Bring her to me"

Trading any core piece for PG seems like a bad idea for LA when you have a fair shot at grabbing him for free in a year and you aren't expecting to win now

It was just the other day after the PG news some Laker fan on Reddit was talking about OPTICS, how they matter, and that maybe Magic really was the right choice. Lol

I don't know why Vlade didn't offer #10 for Russell and Mozgov. Maybe he is terrified of making another trade since he always seems to get laughed at

There are a lot of funny things about that trade but as Timothy Mozgov is salary dumped already I think fondly back to anytime anyone criticized how large a contract being given out was and people jumping over themselves to yell at them and be like It's fine! It's the new market!!!

Yeah I don't understand it.

So Dwight talks about wanting to shoot more 3s and Atlanta promptly trades him???

WhyteRyce
Dec 30, 2001

Remember like two years ago when everyone thought Atlanta would be a force in the East for some time. Then the Brooklyn pick swaps turned into Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bud started making dumb FA decisions

WhyteRyce
Dec 30, 2001

I appreciate Vlade not making a bad trade up with the picks but now I think he might have pivoted too hard in the other direction. Like, he was going to be fine with seeing whatever fell at #5 and #10 and by golly he's made his plan and is sticking too it no matter what is going on.

If the Kings make their own picks, renounce Rudy Gay, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, waive Arron Afflalo, and refuse to tender Ben McLemore a QO, they could have upwards of 65 million dollars in cap space.

I wonder what they'll do with it.

I wonder if they want my favorite team's bad contracts.

Langston opted out for reasons I can't understand but won't complain about. $67M they can spend and no big FAs who give a poo poo about us. I was hoping we'd just eat a bad Portland contact in exchange for a late first, which is why I'm annoyed that they didn't swoop in on the Russell deal.

Maybe we can eat that Noah deal for #8
