I can?t believe the Jazz don?t take that offer. I know they got more picks for Rudy, but hard to say no to 5 more picks. They aren?t going anywhere with or without Mitchell. Only a matter of time before he wants out.

Looks like the Mitchell trade is done. Wonder if we get in on it.

Full trade: Utah is trading Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland for Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, sources tell ESPN.

Wow. Well that opens the gates. Kyrie is the last domino to fall before we see all the little trades happen, but he may stay put.

To further complicate the build around Luka, the NBA is expected to announce expansion teams in Seattle and Las Vegas with expansion drafts happening prior to their first seasons. The move is set to be announced in a few weeks when NBA teams play exhibition games in both cities.

How many players are teams expected to be able to protect? 9?

mac222b · 09-08-2022, 03:07 PM

Just looked it up it?s 8. Luka, DFS, Bullock, Din, Green, Hardy, Maxi, Wood for me as it stands today. Toughest call is THJ vs. Hardy as Timmy?s contract as a a useable player is great for trade matching. Frank and Dorsey the wildcards.

Jonathan Tjarks just died

I loved him on the Ringer. He was a really honest, heartfelt, and deep commentator and always gave the Mavs a fair shot.

EricaLubarsky · 09-23-2022, 01:46 PM

Reggie speaking out in support of Ime Udoka

I love that he's supporting another coach, but...

1) He broke major workplace policies and the punishment was clearly outline in his hiring paperwork. Right or wrong, he knew he was breaking workplace policy.

2) By breaking the policy, he put the Celtics at huge financial risk.

3) His relationship was extra-marital. He was literally cheating on his wife. I know marriages can go sour and unfulfilling, but as a man you have to end one relationship before starting another. Coaches are moral and strategic leaders and it shows a lack of ability to lead as a moral leader.

I want to see African Americans treated well, but this isn't an issue of racism, unless we can point to another person doing the same thing with a different result. This was a lack of leadership.

EricaLubarsky · 09-23-2022, 05:59 PM

May be way way worse. Guys like Matt Barnes have gone from support to turning their backs after some supposed inside info. I I see what happened

Just curious but why do you think Dwight if its the Basketball HOF? He didn't play collegiately...he may be one though he had a nice run of being one of the best 5's in the game.

NBA Champion, 3x Defensive Player Of The Year, 8x All-NBA Team, 8x NBA All-Star.

Points, 14,600 Rebounds, 1,671 Assists, 1,079 Steals, 2,226 Blocks

I?d say that?s a pretty good resume?

I think that's exactly why we got rid of KP. Mofo could hit near half court contested shots but couldn't make an open three to save his life. A total no-no on a Luka led team.

Can't think of a sequence that better demonstrated who KP is as a player.

Will be very interesting to see the next contract KP signs

Now that the Mariners have made the playoffs

The Kings are now the US sports team with the longest playoff drought

Anyone think they?ll break it this year?

interesting stat - i wonder what the odds are. 500:1? it'd be the kind of odds where you might be $20 as a lotto ticket. i don't think there's any way they make it though in the west.

Curious if the Warriors will suspend Draymond after the video leaked of him punching Poole. Green instigated it, and Poole buckled.

Dear lord that is not something you come back from.

I'd give them Bertans and Powell for Green. Maybe a SRP

wow Poole definitely wasn't expecting that... i guess who would coming from your own teammate? otherwise he should have had his guard up. that was scary... had to have knocked him out as it looked like he was sliding down.

Per Bleacher Report:

"James Harden says he hasn't received proper credit for his selflessness after signing a team-friendly deal with the Sixers"

What trash Poole was talking to Green about****...

As Green shot free throws at the end of one practice,
Poole told Green to "stop pissing" down his leg. Green
air-balled the free throw, and the warriors had to run
sprints.
During a Monday scrimmage, Poole had jokingly
asked why Draymond's twitter handle was
'MoneyGreen' if Green was "going to be broke and in
Sacramento" after this season. Green took exception to
the banter, hurling a ball in the direction of Poole,
which ultimately struck a child of one of the members of
the training staff.
The final straw appeared to come Wednesday when
Poole asked Green what he did whenever an attractive
female entered the gym at MSU. "Did they like the
triple singles- or was it the screen setting?"

**** Welp - turns out this info was wrong - so sorry - I had a questionable source.

So Draymond can dish out trash talk, but can?t take it when someone spits it back in his face?

Lakers testing out Westbrook off the bench in their last preseason. Honestly the best usage of that roster, but damned if I think RW will be fully accepting of this role.

Hockey arena play leads to puddles. Boston is dangerous.

LiAngelo Ball waived

Jordan Poole and Wiggins both signed big deals to remain with the Warriors.
