    I bet the Clippers Jerry West is cracking his knuckles to extract a quality pick from the Suns for one of the Clippers PGs. Beverley, Teodosic etc.

    The Pistons GM should be calling as we speak.
    Who is the Pistons GM anyway. Got no clue anymore.

    If the Heat can acquire Butler and lose Whiteside, then Riley is a basketball God and we should all pray to him.

    I hope the NBA Gods bless us with a Sham Wow tweet:

    Phoenix Suns have hired Bryan Colangelo as their new GM and Barbara Bottini as the Suns' new Social Media director.

    If I was a Suns fan I would pray for that over what is likely coming.
    A mediocre GM 10 times out of 10 over the owner.

    Ha. To be fair Colangelo does have a history of swooping in at the ideal time for a franchise. Not sure the Suns will be great anytime soon but having Booker and Ayton is pretty ideal.

    anyway for this time of the year there is too much going on and too much drama.

    Usually the only thing to talk about would be who put on muscle and if preseason wins matter.

    But here we are with 2 top 30 players fighting, a superstar on the block refusing to play and a fired GM.

    The drama lasts longer and longer in this league.

    Blockbuster ROckets and TWOLVES deal before start of season. Morey will waive the physical examine. TWolves can't trade Jimmy to any other teams due to failing physical. Rockets = 2019 World Champ and Dwight Howard can claim he's still a champion, no matter what after Rockets win da 'Ship

    Pls don't ever call NBA a drama, my close friend is a drama author and he is offended by how you use the language

    What is Realistic Trades for Jimmy Butler if nobody want Knight's contract?

    Minnesota gets:
    Gordon + ?? (to make money work)
    Rockets gets:
    Jimmy Butler, Gorgui Dieng


    Wolves want Rockets to improve the offer.

    Jerry should be calling the Spurs as well. With Dejounte Murray gone, they don't have **** for PGs.

    Spurs don't want Bev. They'd love to have Butler.

    I'd bet money that's almost exactly what happened... I've had this happen several times when talking fantasy football trades, so you know they've tried that same "Oh we thought you meant both of these guys."... No you did not, or you would've taken that deal the second it was offered. T-wolves deserve to get nothing back. It frustrates me in fantasy, I can't even imagine how pissed I would get if an organization were that unprofessional.
