Jrue Holiday heading elsewhere? It's weird but he could be a good fit with Miami. Lmao.
Pelicans would be a great fit but again contracts will be a problem. How about Celtics?
Brogdon + additional player for salary 1st round pick, pick swap for Jrue?
Holiday
White
Brown
Tatum
Porzingis
Would be deadly

Brogdon is far, far from what Portland is looking for in return. The only way that makes any sense for Portland is if Robert Williams is included with Bogdon.
2.) 27 Sep 2023 20:34:07
Brogdon and Williams for Jrue makes a lot of sense to me.
3.) 27 Sep 2023 20:37:02
Dark horse for Jrue after Dec 15th?
LA Lakers. Hachimura+Russell+ Picks?
27 Sep 2023 10:51:28
76ers - Bulls - Heat - LA Clippers mega deal
76ers get Zach Lavine
- gets the Harden replacement
Bulls get Tyler Herro, Marcus Morris & 1st round pick Heat
- gets a younger rising star and a bruiser who fits with Vooch
Heat get Paul George
- move on from Lillard deal and still get a star. He and Butler with Bam would be a nightmare defensively so long they are in good health
LA Clippers get James Harden, Duncan Robinson, 1st round pick Miami & 2nd round pick Chicago
- star replacement, and a better fit with the team imo
22 Sep 2023 00:01:06

i lik that anunoby swap for Cleveland
Lillard is a great player, switch teams with Curry and he would have been a champion, but i can't see Toronto giving up 3 picks and two swaps for an aging player, who had some injuries and is who's on a massive contract.

Training camp is nearing but there still no significant development on a Damian Lillard trade. Is his value going to increase or decrease as time goes by? Let me know your thought
1.) 27 Sep 2023 15:46:40
I am kind of intrigued with the Dame to Toronto rumors. Siakam + Dick + picks seem like the return that Portland is looking for.
2.) 27 Sep 2023 17:34:57
I saw a report that the Blazers have been wanting OG for a while. Siakam could net the Blazers more assets but without Siakam, are the Raptors a contender even with Dame?
3.) 27 Sep 2023 18:48:21
Meanwhile Lillard was traded to Milwaukee who doesnt have much assets lmao.
03 Sep 2023 19:44:53
So Jonas Valanciunas beat team USA. And Spain is out.
Interestingly, USA after losing, will have an "easier" opponent in Italy while Lietuva will be facing Serbia as a gift for beating them.
Canada vs Slovenia. SGA vs Luka. Could be an explosive match up, depth might be a factor. If Luka carries Slovenia in this game, he really is the man.
Two darkhorses of the competition Germany & Latvia facing each other would be fun to watch.

The trade got me thinking, does Beal in some way push a trade to the Suns to team up with 2 stars? And the management just let him go there out of respect? Because i'm in disbelief of the value the Wizards got for him. If that's the case, what if stars like Lillard who have done so much for his team request a trade to his preferred destination even without much assets?
1.) 19 Jun 2023 14:44:05
The reason Beal got the Wizards so little is the no-trade clause they gave him last year. Washington wanted to get out of the contract, and Beal had all the power to determine how it went down. Lillard does not have that power. Teams will often work together with a player at the end of a relationship in order to maintain a perception of being a good organization to sign with, but they still are able to get a reasonable return most times. Beal had more power in this trade than any player has ever had before, so it's not much of a harbinger.
2.) 19 Jun 2023 16:04:50
I think the thing to remember here is that the Wizard's new GM comes from years under Sam Presti in OKC. It seems like this could be the start of dumping all salaies (Beal, Kuzma and Porzingis) and having Washington because the next "salary dumping yard" for draft picks. This will be an interesting position to be in when the new CBA actually kicks in and starts penalizing teams. But the problem is that Washington has to hit on their draft picks which they have failed to do in the recent future.
Also, Washington has a 2024-2026 protected first that I am sure they do not want to convey to New York as well.

Got to ask this, is Nikola Jokic better than Tim Duncan? Of course, without those 5 championships ok?
1.) 08 Jun 2023 05:21:42
Passing, yes
Defense, not close
I feel like it’s hard to go into scoring. Duncan’s prime was when the leagues scoring/ prime was its lowest, and he was still a 20-25 PPG scoring for 10ish seasons straight.
Head to Head I just player wise I wouldn’t say it’s crazy to have that argument or opinion.
2.) 08 Jun 2023 09:09:14
Duncan played power forward, most of the time. Jokic is a center.
It's difficult to compare those two.
to me, Duncan is still the best overall player. And Jokic is one of the best offensive players and is the best passing center ever.
3.) 08 Jun 2023 14:29:12
No. Accolades aren’t the end all, be all. But 5 championships is too many to ignore.
Jokic has the chance to pass him and become a top couple player ever. But longevity is important.
4.) 08 Jun 2023 21:36:50
Imagine Jokic in Pops system.
5.) 08 Jun 2023 22:59:57
Better? Hard to say. Depends if you value passing more than defense.
30 May 2023 03:28:28
Would like to appreciate Caleb Martin in this post. Man got heart. He deserves co-mvp honors with Butler.
1.) 03 Jun 2023 02:52:45
Any change after that Game 1 performance?
27 Sep 2023 19:07:27
Exactly what I thought. Weird but a great fit.
04 Sep 2023 13:42:41
Still just a good 7-8 seed. Not winning anything.
13 Aug 2023 11:56:10
Horrible for Sixers.
31 Jul 2023 10:00:53
No real asset on that pckage. Blazers need young guys especially young bigs.
29 Jul 2023 14:35:51
The Clippers are getting Harden for Batum, Covington Morris a 1st and a 2nd? Am I missing something?

Fred, may I ask, what does the Kings need as of this moment? Any specifics?
25 Jun 2023 01:40:44
Bulls/ suns?
22 Jun 2023 05:10:02
Wow just about that. Marcus smart is gone for the Celtics.
