    Doc don't got powers any more. If anything the Logo did this without giving a single F to what Doc thinks.

    The probably would rather have a young capela than an old DJ. They will cost roughly the same ~25mil, but the rockets can always chose to match.

    Wizards front office is horrible, even if they going after boogie still I consider it bad move.

    At least he swindled some millions because of his daddy before he faded into obscurity. Also, when you thought the Washington guard situation could get any more dysfunctional... *breaks out the popcorn*

    I’d like to think Dallas will target DJ via trade but I just don’t see it.

    They just traded next years 1st.

    They don’t really have any salary to match outside of Powell who they seem to really like.

    They could move small salaries and take him into space but who gets assets at that point?

    Like, what are some realistic ideas?

    Does Dallas take Deandre into space to get better this year and save cap space for next summer also?

    I just don’t know

    I am not sure what the Clips have in mind. Maybe they think they can put together a package for Kawhi with D Jordan, Pat Bev, Lou Willias and some of their draft picks? But that doe not sound like it would work at all. Spurs would say no to that.

    Not a bad deal for NOLA either in retrospect; essentially sending Hield and picks out for a proven deal at the 3. Wiz need to shake something up badly.

    Surprised at most of the sentiment towards Austin Rivers. Is he annoying?Yes, incredibly so. But he’s improved impressively as a scorer the last couple years.

    Maybe it’s unlikely for him to improve the other aspects of his game as much as he has his scoring, but I think being away from his dad is probably a good thing for his career.
