The real bummer part is that assuming next season starts on schedule, he's going to miss a chunk of 21-22 season, as well. So he's going to be gone a John Wall length of time, or longer, by the time he gets back. Odds of him getting back to form are extremely slim. GS now has 2 dead max contracts, essentially. Ouch.

On another note, make sure you draft Curry in your fantasy leagues because holy sheep shit is he going to do some things if he can keep his fingers in one piece.

I don't think Orlando would agree to pay Beasley anything close to what Gordon is making.

F No!! You have an obsession with Aaron Gordon my man, seek help. We already trade for one overpriced roll player in little Ricky, don’t need to compound mistake with another

Knicks have a log jam of 4's. Maybe they will send us one in return.

Beasley needs to go. You don't put up with what he did with a role player and you just drafted a SG #1. Edwards needs to be night one starter.

The Knicks just let go of Bobby Portis and Taj Gibson today. The only one left is Julius Randle.

My bad. I commented on that too.

Jauncho, a low tier free agent, Layman, Vanderbilt...it’s not going to be a high priced guy. With Johnson trade chip gone you are going to have to send out multiple youngish guys to get Gordon.

RT @BobbyMarks42: Golden State tax bill is currently $66M

The addition of Kelly Oubre would see it increase to $134M

$14.4M of Oubre + $68M in taxes= $82.4M

I’d use the full MLE on Green. Dude is tough, can defend, rebound and shot 38% from 3.

They are using the Iggy trade exception to absorb the salary and I’m sure a first rd pick of some sort, think they’d be more likely to trade their own pick next year and keep ours if that’s part of the compensation

C'mon. That is a crap account with 25 followers who is just parroting old news that has been refuted. Maybe there is truth to it, maybe not, but this isn't a source I would use to make my case either way.

Sure. Sign me up.


Seems like there’s a lot of decent bigs available. Maybe not getting one in the draft isn’t such a disaster. Assuming Rosas lands one of these, of course.
