What if we made like a Google Sheet and signed up for the weekly threads?

Honestly, if I'm the 76ers, I just sit back and wait out a bunch of this drama. Maybe the lakers have a slow start to the season and want to shake things up. Maybe Kyrie becomes untenable in Brooklyn. If I were the 76ers, and I'm not advocating this at all, I wait till Bridges next contract kicks in...

I'm going to say he's 4th best in the league right now, behind Embiid, Jokic, and KAT, in that order. I honestly think he's not that far behind KAT if he can develop a bit more on the offensive end -- primarily getting to the free throw line. If he keeps working, I think he can catch up to Embiid an...

That would have been so awesome! Unfortunately, it's quite the drive for me from Salt Lake City. Super nice of you to throw them out there though.

Considering all the drama between the players union and whether or not players are vaccinated, I can understand players deferring whether or not they've been vaccinated. But I think I remember that Chris Paul got most of the team together and they got vaccinated together... so I thought most of last...

Would we have to include Saric in a deal for Young? I don't see why the Spurs would want him, and I don't like the vibe of trading an injured player who worked hard and performed really well for us at times. If we could get away with just trading Smith and maybe a 2nd rounder, I'm more okay with that.

Should suns have some interest here?

We should have interest, because I think he would fit in great, but I'm not sure what we could offer? A couple future second round picks? Seems like they could get more than that.

Markkanen?

He would be really good in our system. Plus, he has some familiarity playing with Ayton I think at the UofA?

I think that's awesome that Iguodala is offering to work with Mikal in the offseason. And awesome that it sounds like he's going to take him up on the offer.

I think Harrell and Drummond were criminally underutilized in LA; I honestly think either would play really well here. Though Drummond isn't really something that could happen realistically...

Is there any chance Cleveland would do Nance for Saric and 29? Would it be possible to just trade the pick without Saric? Seems like Cleveland wants to get rid of salary and maybe if they just take a pick back, that would be enough to entice them. But I think Nance would see a resurgence here, and ...

For what it's worth, I like how the Olympic games have been officiated so far.

I think the U.S. problem is just a crazy over reliance on 3s. Lillard and Durant shoot a crazy amount of them, early in the shot clock. There's no reason to continue to settle for 3s all game long.

After watching the first quarter, I wouldn't mind giving Fall a look as Ayton's backup. Clearly a 5, mobile, looks like a good defender, and can at least shoot free throws.

Yeah, I haven't been able to get a Valley jersey or an orange one all season long. I had a Bridges orange one on order from the Suns Team Shop early in the season, but then then cancelled it saying they were out of stock. I'd love a Paul Valley jersey.

Paul should not be in there at this point. Even Crowder and Johnson need to come out.

Torrey Craig clearly isn't 100%, but I think he's playing well.

Poor Ayton would have had 20 rebounds, but Chris stole one at the end of the game from him.

Wish I could join you guys... sitting from 14 time zones away makes that kind of tough.

Same here, it would be quite the drive from Salt Lake City. But if for some reason the world finds a way to put me in Phoenix, I would join!

What a game! And what a great feeling to wake up knowing we're headed to the FINALS!!!
