Durant announcing tonight. Still feels like Nets with Kyrie to me. I'm definitely not buying any of this Durant and Kawhi teaming up talk.

Should be a fun evening ahead of us.

Looks like the Bucks are giving Lopez a deal, and everything points to paying Middleton. Midds is gonna be way overpaid with his max deal, but no one else is going to want to come to Milwaukee so they kind of have no choice if we want to try to run it back. Still sounds like Brogdon won't be sticking around here which is gonna be a major blow in running it back. Always sucks to be a small market team, but as long as we have Giannis, and are in the east, anything can happen.

LOL Kyrie gonna poison that team before KD even gets back.

Prediction: KD will never win another championship and will go down as a great scorer that needed to join an all time team to win anything.

He may not be 100% but dude should still be about to get any shot off he wants.

 

[wooha]

Lopez and Middleton keeping my pipe dream of Brogdon to the Suns alive!

I'd rather you have Bledsoe back

Bye bye JJ

That injury is pretty notoriously difficult to come back from. He's young so yeah, but I'll believe it when he's dominant again.

 

[jaycee]

Bye bye JJ

I hope they can sign someone else to spread the floor.


Indiana lost Bogdanovich but signed Brogdon and gave Milwaukee a first rounder and two second rounders according to Woj.

That’s ....a lot of monies

I’m not sure about this. At the very least, I’m not sure that the image of Durant that people have in their minds when they argue that he can defy the odds with this injury - the image of him easily rising up over whomever to pop a three - is by itself a top-10 player. People underrate his pre-injury explosiveness and ability/tendency to take dudes off the dribble.

You can keep him. I never want a Rich Paul client on the Suns ever again.

Hello (again) Tobias.

Is Butler on his way out?

I dont think he is but I'm not feeling super confident at this current moment in time

 

[wooha]

This is about as Knicks as it gets...

On the very slightest bright side. No team with the actual cap space has been rumored for Butler, so at the very least they would need to sign and trade.

...OOF
