    76ers need more salary on their books.

    It shaves 2.5 million in guaranteed money off the salary cap next year.

    Rockets need an undersized center on the roster to compete. I dont like it.

    Ahh. So we got a pick and a bowl of frog j*zz and now the bowl is gone. So we lost some scoring capability for a mid range pick.

    MAN I AM PUMPED. GO GET ANOTHER ROYCE WHITE DARRELL

    Philadelphia will receive a future second-round pick to take on Anthony and his contract, sources tell @TheVertical.

    2nd round pick goes to Philly to dump Joel. That better be from Detroit. I seriously hope we didn't trade DMO plus a second for a 1st round pick and cash.

    What is DMO giving us this year that changes anything for this team? And he was going to leave anyway. Chill. We got something for him.

    Some first round pick that will likely spend next year in the NBDL.

    My understanding is that it is partially guaranteed, but I could be wrong.
