Around the League: Week 16 (1/30 - 2/5)

[INFORMER]

If the Knicks want to give away three 1sts for OG, let them. There's no need for us to get stupid just because other teams are getting stupid.

Plus, the Knicks have extra picks. So if they did trade 3 1st rounds for OG, it wouldn't have the same impact as it would for most of the other teams.

[Flagrant Fowl]

That's a good point. And I think the Knicks have a greater need for Anunoby than the Suns. Quickley and Grimes are their best perimeter defenders but aren't consistent enough for the playoffs right now.

Sounds like a detective TV show.

He's the King! He doesn't have shit all over him.

King Arthur: Well, I am king.

Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society...

Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?

[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.

Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Arthur: Be quiet!

Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!”

[Flagrant Fowl]

He's my Haliburton.

[TOO]

He's my Haliburton.

Sengun gonna end up the best player on that team imo.

[Flagrant Fowl]

He probably already is depending on how much tolerance you have for Jalen Green.

I listed to this podcast and here’s a run down:

Bones Hyland- he is probably gone due to him and coaching staff bumping heads and wanting a bigger role, Denver wants a veteran and don’t believe Hyland’s defensive abilities. Minny likes him, their gm is the nugs previous gm and drafted him but Denver didn’t like how the previous GM left them for the Timberwolves job, so no deal likely due to pettiness lol, you love to see it. Hornets are interested in him

Bojan Bogdanovic- The previous asking price was a unprotected 1st round pick but DET really likes him and think he could the old head that can mentor the young players and they believe he could be a key component to them making the playoffs next year. Teams don’t believe them and thinks it’s posturing. We’ll see I guess. Haha


OG- look at the tweet above but to add, Haynes and Stein couldn’t confirm the 2-3 1st round picks asking price and can’t confirm if the Knicks are really offering 3 1st. Stein thinks if it was really true it probably would’ve been done already.

Cam Reddish- most likely gone, 2nd pick and expiring probably gets it done. Cavs like him and Mavs like him but Mavs don’t really have contract that fits perfectly to trade for him, Knicks like Reggie bullock as a return but is more split on him recently.

Will Barton- could be a traded, wants to play contending team like Milwaukee or Brooklyn.

I really like OG, but I don't think I'd go overboard to get him. I think 2 1sts might be okay? I wouldn't go above that. If a deal included Ayton, I think it would have to be like OG + 1st for Ayton. If a deal included Cam Johnson, I would only maybe consider adding a heavily protected 1st. I think OG is better than Cam, but not by some huge amount. I don't know, he's a player I'd like for us to have, but not at some crippling cost.

Thanks for the breakdown….

I know it’s already been said but just having an owner that is willing to take on extra money for the right deal has my hopes up really high to what they could pull off…. Ishba doesn’t strike me yet as someone who’s going to come in here and make some unintelligible decision

[Superbone]

And no mention of the Suns.

They talked about Jae Crowder but I put that in the Suns news thread.

Just saw that and the hilarious Crowder Suns/Bucks merger. Thanks for breaking all that down!

Black Grayson Allen.

Pat Bev, Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks, Draymond…who would round out your all-dirty 1st team?

Always interesting who missed out
