    If he wasn’t 4 and living in Milwaukee when this song was in its heyday then I would be inclined to agree; but it isn’t like this song has been going around on TikTok recently for it to suddenly pop up into his lexicon.

    It may turn out to be nothing, but no one put a gun to his head to make him post a legendary Houston track during a time Houston is notedly in trade discussions with MIA.

    right now he did. In the offseason after he misses the playoffs again and the wiz know he has an opt out after the season the 2 sides are going to have to have a conversation. He’s giving Washington every chance to make this work. Eventually they’ll and he’ll be at a crossroads.

    gonna be a hard fit in Philly tho. They already have issues in the playoffs because Ben won’t shoot and now you’re adding a basically another non shooter.

    Every time I log into CF and see that Oladipo still has not been traded, I feel sick to my stomach. And I check like a dozen times a day. So please, Stone, do it already. Do it. Save me from myself.

    Oladipo is likely one of the best assets out there right now... and I feel like there are several teams that need him and several teams that feel like they have a legitimate shot to win it this year. I have a feeling we are going to be pretty excited about the return we get.

    I agree with you that both teams might want Dipo, but I highly doubt that Rufell gets the green light to send Dipo to Philly. Taleman Furtetta is not going to want to help Darnell Maury chase a ring!

    If Philly does end up getting Dipo, it will be because they drastically overpaid! Tailmen wants Daroll to learn how to “Shut up and Listen”...

    6ers? For what? They ain’t happenin’. Knicks, yes, but at what price? Dipo not from Kentucky.

    Heat doesn’t want to pay for anyone; but, if so, is there a rerouting for Olynyk?

    GSW is where he lands.

    Aaron Gordon is one of the most talented players who has come up in trade rumors, but the price to obtain him is not cheap. To pry Gordon from the Magic, it would cost a first-round pick and a good young player, league sources told HoopsHype.

    The 25-year-old forward is entering the prime of his career while shooting a career-best 36.5 percent from beyond the arc and is owed a manageable $16.4 million for next season.

    With Orlando on a nine-game losing streak, Gordon isn’t the only starter on the Magic drawing interest. Several teams have also expressed exploratory interest in guard Evan Fournier who’s in the final year of his contract, league sources told HoopsHype. Terrence Ross, whose contract declines over the next two seasons at $12.5 million and $11.5 million, could replace Fournier as a starter if the Frenchman leaves in free agency.

    And yes, teams have called on Nikola Vucevic as well, but Orlando remains reluctant to part with its two-time All-Star during the best season of his career.

    Damn, had eye surgery yesterday and I'm just catching up. Stepping back, it feels like Stone is looking to FL for either AG or Herro. Whether he considers either as a foundational piece is TBD, but whoever is floating the 1st with players for a foundational player may be fishing for other suitors or partners in a 3-way.

    In any case, Wall's need for a knee scope is not helping his value, where if VO has another solid game tonight that will hopefully show he continues to trend in the right direction playing wise.

    It sounds a little far fetched for Riley to be this desperate (yet), but there are windows and they've taken a few steps back this year after over achieving last year. If he can add both Wall and Oladipo, it would reshape his backcourt and if they can stay healthy give them more firepower to fight in the playoffs. It's kind of now or never for Riley this season--guess it will depend on whether he's willing to trade near term opportunity for longer term potential.

    You had eye surgery? Hope you’re well!

    So let me read the other thread that you missed, because I think your surgery didn’t take: we just traded John Wall and the Milwaukee / Portland first rounders for LeBron James.

    (You didn’t actually go check, did you?)

    Good try Rox! If anything crazy would have happened my son would have blown up my phone, so I wouldn't need to check.

    I wonder if a 3-way works where Rox FRP (not Minnie’s) + Oubre = Gordon + House then Gordon + Wigs + Minnie pick = Dipo + EGo + FRP?
