I feel terrible but I need this Jimmy trade to happen.
This is a collab with Saucey. We both want this Jimmy trade

You should listen to your voicemails!

I wish Mr. Moneybags could buy back all the picks he traded away.

I don't regret trading those picks at all.
We have KD. We have Booker. I'm sure in the future we'll sign another top end FA when we have cap space. At any point we could flip those for picks if we decide we'd rather have mystical magical theoretical picks that are a complete shot in the dark rather than actual proven talent

That “actual proven talent” has actually proven to be a lot less than we were hoping when we traded away our mystical magical theoretical picks for a mystical magical theoretical team that hasn’t come together.

You could easily trade and repeat. KD and Booker are much more valuable assets than a couple first round picks. Theres not a team in the league that wouldn't offer two first rounders for each of them if we wanted and there's a reasom for that.

Crazy. He trades four picks and three swaps for a team everybody hates, and at the same time has everybody confident that he’s going to assemble a team we love when he doesn’t have four picks and three swaps to spend. I haven’t seen persuasion ability like that outside of a certain person I shouldn’t mention on this forum.

Are you talking about Ishbia or James Jones? I can’t speak for other people, but I’m not optimistic because I’m confident in Jones/Ishbia…I do think it’s nice Ishbia doesn’t seem to care about costs at all…that does make it easier.

What we mostly seem to be arguing is whether or not the suns can get anything of value for the team they currently have. That’s probably not even the right question. I think the suns could easily restock if they decided to trade KD/Book(Beal is a different story). The real question is whether Ishbia would tolerate a rebuild.

The more likely doom scenario is we just keep the trio we currently have together and just keep shuffling the pieces around it…maybe change out a major piece every few years. That’s what I’m worried about. I’m not worried that we traded away picks for this team. We could have picks tomorrow if we wanted them.

I doubt he would. Even if he would, I think he’s handicapped our ability to do it. His inability to tolerate it is exactly why he had no qualms about handicapping our ability to do it.

That’s what I’m expecting.

That Suggs injury is pretty weird. No contact, and he isn't even really stretching his back. It just ... gives out. Hope he didn't really mess his back up; that could be debilitating. I myself have a disc that slips out of place and causes tons of pain; it can lay me out for a few days, but then it takes care of itself. Hope the guy doesn't have anything serious.

Looks like when his body was traveling one way and he tries to jerk back the other way is when it happened….. my heart hurts for him. Prayers he can recover.

Why would it be delay of game on one team and not the other?

Holy cow, I knew the Cavs were doing well this season. But 30-4? That is like historically good.

I really enjoyed these highlights of the duel between Wemby and Jokic last night. What a fun matchup.

That's nine straight for the Cavs. They're now 30-4, a start matched by only 10 teams ever; six of them won the title.

We’re one of the four that didn’t. (2004-05)

Cavs still feel like a really good regular season to me that will get eliminated in the 2nd round.

So surpise there.

Getting the 1 seed might get them to the ECF…they’ll at least avoid Boston until then.
