This is hilarious. TD21’s issues with Massai (a black GM!) elude me.Local media outlets here in Toronto are reporting Massai and Pop had lunch today at Harbour 60. TMZ is reporting a man wearing a custom Spurs jersey numbered 2, with the name “S bag” was arrested for taunting both Massai and Coach Pop.
The assaulter was defined as looking like a cross between Kim Jong Un, a yellow M&M and the ROFL emojii. He was screaming that the 2019 Raptors le was a “pseudo championship” while ROFL.
Minny trades Wiggins and a great first for DLO. Then you trade all those picks for Rudy to compete & then trade DLO for a worse player with extra money on their deal next year who both hurts your salary cap comparatively and your on court ability to win after going all in for gobert. For a 2nd round pick?! Incompetence
Interesting note on that pick LA gave up:
It’s protected 1-4 for 2027. However, if it does not convey in 2027? Immediately converts to a 2nd. So it’s all or nothing in 2027 for the pick.
Minnesota has the worst winning percentage of any NBA franchise for a reason.
I've never seen a protection like that...very interesting...
Tells you LA is expecting to be dog soon as LBJ retires.
It lets the Lakers trade their 2029 first if they want to.
So it’s basically 2027 pick #5-34? I wouldn’t mind picks like those.
Never would've accepted that if I were the Jazz tbh.
Why? It’s basically the same deal I outlined for Spurs but sub Doug’s deal for Conley and Vandy/Beasley for Josh/Collins. UTA not only gets a shot at a lottery pick but they cleared 14M off their books and not a single player they gave that can’t be replaced by an MLE level player easily. No brainer trade IMO
Josh Hart from Portland to NYK for Cam Reddish and a protected first.
If the Lakers are trash in '27 the league is absolutely rigging the draft for them tbh. That pick feels destined not to convey.
Worst case scenario is they dumped 15M in Conley money when he’s average to below average at best and aging for 2nd round pick. If thats the downside? It’s a no brainer. They wont miss Beasley or Vand at all big picture and at least get a shot at a lottery pick for salary dumping Conley. It’s a great trade for UTA overall with no downside IMO (even if limited upside to a degree)
Hoping this bodes well for Richardson, Doug and Jak value.
I mean, it should... but there's Eric Gordon, Bogdanovic also out there and I'm not sure there's a lot of picks. I don't doubt teams want these shooters though.
Lakers can still make the playoffs but DLo isn’t solving AD’s fragile issues or making LeBron 5 years younger.
Yeah this is pretty good lemonade the lakers made. Only sent out one FRP to dump WBs juggernaught albatross contract
Spurs missing out on the WB for a pick sweepstake sucks tbh…it really does. I only hope that it was because they have deals they value more lined up and not because they drew some stupid line in the sand out or principle and just missed out.
It's looking more and more likely the Spurs do nothing.
No it's not...
If they do it's going to be something very minor.
IMHO, Too much smoke around Poeltl for something not to occur...which usually means the in bent, (in this case Zach C) should start packing...
The Spurs will do a few or a couple moves, definitely. Question is size. It seems clear there are teams jockeying for the stretch run.
I haven't been a Pelinka fan these last few years, but have to admit he did a pretty good job here adding Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Beasley and D-Lo, while shedding Westbrook and only one future lightly protected FRP. Lebron now has a starting backcourt in D-Lo and Beasley who can both hit threes, and a good active defender in Vanderbilt. It's probably not enough to get very deep in the playoffs, but they're definitely a better and deeper team. Ainge cleared away over $50 mil from Utah's books next year, giving them ultimate flexibility, but I'm surprised he didn't get more draft compensation, or at least a single young prospect.
Cool reaction from Jalen Brunson on finding out about the Josh Hart trade. They played together in college:
