Wow. That was insane

At least 8 missed free throws didn’t help either.

OMFG

I don’t think Thibs would ever agree to trading for Bey. Worthless on D.

If DJ wants to go to the Lakers and play with LeBron to get the ball more, then well, good luck with that one buddy.

I’m going to look at the bright side here. FINALLY we got cooked by an actual star, and not some rando role player. That’s progress, right?

I mean, they were trying to trade Collins recently….

Do they really call Brian Oliver BO? That’s unfortunate.

LP backlash was clearly warranted. Just look how well he’s done in the years since! So many coaching positions opening up and he could have his pick at any of them. Oh, wait. NM

Bucks paying Doc $40m, PLUS Griffin, PLUS Bud! I had no idea there was that much money up in Wisconsin!

I wish we could get BBrown.

@JTB too. I personally don’t see it given his lack of handles or distribution, but maybe with JJ out there it wouldn’t matter so much. But I think that kind of looses some of the gains you get by having a third facilitator at a forward position. Would spending that much more time defending quicker guards destroy his knees even more?

If this is the case (and I have no reason to doubt you), then that only reinforces @AHF assertion that DJ should draw more return than OG. If NYK are the only team in for OG and everyone knows it, then they wouldn’t need to offer any more than the bare minimum to make the trade work. When there is a talented player on a good contract with multiple suitors, that should drive the price up more than an expiring contract with only one team willing to trade for him.

I would assume the best chance for him to make the team would be if he is traded to the Spurs first.

That’s not a good deal. The 2029 pick (five years down the road) is the only real added asset. The swap has little to no added value, since we wouldn’t be gaining an additional pick. D Lo is a negative asset and the Lakers should attach 1rp or multiple 2rps for taking him.

Publix fried chicken and sushi was my favorite lunch when I lived in Atlanta. I still think fondly of it after all these years. I Thought DJ Always Wrote His Messages With Every Word Capitalized Like This?

Wish I didn’t see this just before going to get some lunch. Guess I know what I’m having.

They mean business, kage

What people have forgotten is that free speech has nothing to do with someone having to freedom to say any damn thing without repercussions. The freedom you get with your speech is freedom from the government locking you up because you said something they don’t like. It has nothing to do with preventing you from getting cancelled, fired from your job, or getting the taste slapped out of your mouth.

Plus he’s got the shorts that command respect.

I don’t quite understand the difference in what Soth is saying here vs. what has been said over the past few weeks or months. Maybe it’s just the part of them shifting from trying to get a second star player. But for a while now it has sounded like they’ve always been trying to trade DJM for a couple of picks and a young player (see NYK/Grimes chatter). But I haven’t heard anything about attempting to acquire a second star from a straight up DJM trade. It always seemed to me if they trade him by the TDL, it would be for assets that they’d “potentially” use to go toward something bigger in the offseason. Ressler shedding salary to keep payroll down certainly isn’t news. That’s been his MO from day one. What would be news is if he actually pays the tax. I guess what I’m saying is, despite the gloom this news brings, it doesn’t seem to be anything different than what we’ve already been dealing with. I.E. it’s crappy, but it’s crap we’ve already been living with so no real need for surprise when you wake up this morning and realize we’re sitting in pig slop.

Come on man, this is why people give you grief. This is so unnecessary. Even if you fully believe this, it’s not something that needs to be said out loud. If we’re “near the bottom” I’d like to see what message board of social media groups are at the top. RealGM? TwiXXer? Marietta NextDoor?

Trade for draft capital to call Zvonimir Ivisic’s name on June 27. 3 for 4 in 3s in his 16 minute debut.

A Dookie through and through

Yooooooo….. My Cats got the email one hour before tipoff that Big Z was cleared to play for them. 16 minutes against the Dawgs should be all the Hawks need to make him a draft day target. Maybe @NBASupes is right and we should load up on picks for this draft just so we can draft as many Cats as we can. Sheppard, Big Z, Wagner, Reeves, Mitchell, Bradshaw… let’s get all of them.
