Everyone is going with the LA Rams approach.  F them picks.  

Also, it's hopeless.  I'm getting nothing done.  Thought things would settle down after landing Dejounte.  This is insane.  

I'm glad I'm off today.  With the Huerter news and now the Gobert trade, I'm so unsettled..lol

[theheroatl]

Wolves desperate to make a deep playoff run. Let's hope Gobert helps them over the hump for their sake, else they will continue the narrative that he doesn't help that..

This was not a move to improve the team.  There are only three possible explanations:

(1) It was done to get a first round pick for a trade.

(2) Fields/TS concluded that we didn't have enough minutes to go around at SG and either Bogi or Kev had to go and Kev could return you an asset (which is the FRP, not Holiday or Harkless).

(3) It was done to move the team from a tax paying team to under the tax line.

 

Those can overlap as well.

Hopefully it's over now because the more moves this front office makes, the worse the team looks.

I just can't understand why the radical changes. Murray should have been enough.

Are you talking about Collins?  I'm gonna wait and see.

Minnesota LMAO. Thank goodness we aren't that damn dumb

For real, been on the Gobert train but those draft assets are just wild.  And so far in the future...

When's Gobert ever spurred a deep playoff run?  Shhh, don't tell MIN.

The Murray move made the team look worse?

My gawd. Glad the Hawks didn't do that. These teams are leveling up at all costs.

Talk about Goberrated. Good gracious!

[theheroatl]

Whoa damn... 

Either the Jazz help the 3 team or just screw over the Suns in their pursuit of KD

It's good to be retired!

This has to be one of the most entertaining off seasons in recent history

Both of those guys are at minimum, TLC-like players who may can help on defense if people get injured.  Don't ask them to be positives on offense, just tell them to defend.

Nice.  Now they can trade Patrick Beverley to the Suns so he can be chums with CP3.  

[macdaddy]

I don't know what's so hard to understand about the Huerter trade.  We saved a little money this year and our total salary situation for next summer is $14million less

I have zero insider info but this makes me more optimistic we keep JC.  If you assume this was a deal to get under the tax line, then there is no need to get rid of JC to save money anymore.  

If I had to choose between losing Huerter or JC, I'm picking Huerter.

(I will say that Holiday is better than his numbers in Sacramento look so he is a useful rotation piece but I'm still not high on him.)

[Sothron]

Breaking news:

The Hawks will not be trading for Gobert.

 

I couldn't resist.

The Twolf fan in me died a little at seeing all those picks in that deal. KAT as a stretch four in the 90's would have worked. The 2000's? Sure. Now?? I don't see it. Oh boy.

[theheroatl]

Danny Ainge fleecing always for his Celti.... I mean Jazz warchest.. 6 FRP in 24 hours.

I'm glad we didn't get Gobert, and I'm glad he didn't come east. All the better he went to the Wolves, where it would be nice to see a Memphis-Wolves WCF
