Morey must be despondent at this point.
Not at first glance, but I’m a huge Harden hater. If Dame is still in Portland's future I have no clue what they are doing. This is just me throwing on the wall but it’s a somewhat educated guess. Portland is no longer in the run for Simmons after these moves. If Beal opted out he is basically CJ who plays some D.
Who are they targeting in a clear salary dump where they got little assets in return? Ayton and Bridges will be matched. Kyrie, if he opts out is not appealing to anyone.

The issue with Portland going all in is that they don't have their own pick available to trade. Even if they sign Harden or Beal, they can't make the follow-up move to trade seven picks or whatever for that third guy. That's probably a good thing. Best-case scenario for the Blazers is that they win the lottery and have NOP get the sixth pick. That's quite the rebuilding package for a team interested in moving a star, but it doesn't cripple the Blazers long-term if it doesn't work out. I just don't think there's the front-court talent on the market to complement Lillard without just repeating the pairing with McCollum. There are a few defense-first stars in the league, but they don't seem to be available.
NOP seems to be interested in moving down, not up, after the trade. Hard to see them land McCollum, and get worse, especially if Zion returns. They can’t draw 6, only 1-4.
Ohh to watch the Pelicans eliminate Anthony Davis and The Lakers from the play-in game would be gold.
It’d be even sweeter if they did it without Zion lol, who knows if/when he comes back. The last update I saw was a month ago, so that can’t be good.
Wow that’s dumb. Halliburton could be a very good player for them in a long time. While Sabonis is a slow PF and a tweener C.
I don’t remember the trade deadline ever being this active at all.
I think that's a good trade for indy.... for us Sacramento should finish ahead of us now..
Wow did t expect Halliburton to get traded! Interesting stuff going on, lots of activity
Wow, two Jeremy Lambs. That's incredible.
Yeah. The league is really flat right now without any clearly dominant teams. The future is pretty open.
I wonder who he meant to put instead of the 2nd Jeremy Lamb.
Justin Holiday
It's Justin Holiday.
And Wright’s left with Thad’s contract… let’s go Bryan.
Wow...stunned that Sac picked Fox over Hali
Tyrese Haliburton last 24 games:
17.3 PPG
9.4 APG
2.6 TOV
47/43/87%
He is a career 41.1% shooter from three.
The Kings, man.
Indiana has a good piece for a rebuild.
And Morey still holding onto Simmons and could’ve gotten Hali and Heild? That coukd help in East, especially when Nets and Bulls on a downward spiral
kings XD
