And they just signed Capela? Why?
Yeah, I don't get it either. I also don't get it for Capela. Why go to a team with a borderline All-Star center and a backup they're paying $13 mil a year?
Maybe Capela wanted to be back in Houston for personal, non-basketball reasons.

Ya they probably should throw the season like the Celtics are.
LOL, the Celtics are not throwing the season.

I don't understand what Milwaukee is doing.
Desperately trying to appease Giannis.

Would love to send them Beal, he would actually make sense there. But would he accept a trade? Can they offer any cap relief?

Nuggets got another good one. He's inconsistent...
One of those second generation players where he's not as good as his daddy
And then there’s Jalen Brunson, Steph Curry, and Devin Booker.

Exactly. No way the Pistons rate Duncan Robinson higher than either guy.
Royce and Grayson probably (and reasonably) have higher 2k ratings than Robinson but neither is the high volume shooter from 3 that Robinson is, which is the skill set they lost with Beasley. I think purely as an offensive gravity shifter who can get defenses scrambling without having the ball in his hands, Robinson is one of the best in the league not named Steph.

I really wish we made a play for Nance. Never know as a fan if we tried and couldn’t get these players or if the front office never even bothered.

I mean they lost Tatum, KP, Jrue, Horford, and Kornet and replaced them with Garza, Simons, and Niang?
I’m not saying they will lose on purpose, but the whole point of this season will be to get out of the 2nd apron, reset the luxury tax and try again when Tatum is healthy. They are not trying to contend. Feels like a 6-8 seed to me.

It would be nice to know whether or not his friend James Jones is still a member of our front office.

LeBron’s agent is apparently really good friends with our current GM Matty Ish tho

Jalen Brown, Derrick White, + role players would win them 25 games in the west. But they do have a a shot at the playoffs in the east.

Dammit. Larry Nance Jr. is going to Cleveland on a 1-yr. deal.
I wanted to trade Royce O'Neal for him.

Dinwiddie seems well suited to a bad team where he can put up stats.

At one point I really wanted him but that ship has sailed.

The Lakers ending up with 2 top 5 picks from 2018 and LeBron James just seems absurd.
Love, Hurts.
