    I would have been okay with Robinson or Adams. Both were looking good before they went down.

    Life in the Land Down Under
    The term Down Under is a colloquialism and refers to Australia and New Zealand.

    It comes from the fact that these two countries are located in the Southern Hemisphere, 'below' many other countries on the globe.

    Wanted rookie Sengun to train with Aquaman. Now they can practice together. He's a good teacher. He attempted to help Evan Mobley on posting up. Wish he was healthy.

    Rox have half the roster be 21 and under and we still got a top 10 pick on the way next season, those SRPs can fck themselves.

    Adams is a really good defensive center and he is also a great vet presence, meaning next season we can also not resign Boban since Adams fills that mentor role as well. He is also a lot younger than I thought, he is only 29. Although he is out the entire season due to injury, he has been fairly durable in years past and he is prob 3x better than Robert Williams health wise.

    A+ trade by Stone, I'd take one year of suckage by Landale if it meant we somehow ended up with Adams.

    If I were Stone though I'd still get Bismack Biyombo for at least the entire season. The asking price for him isn't that big since he signed a 1M guaranteed deal with the Grizzlies, I think the vet min is enough to get it done. Next year we can keep both Biyombo and Adams and have a 3 deep lineup at center for very cheap.

    It will be interesting to see what the picks are.

    I'm assuming the 2025 2nd rounder is from OKC, and hopefully so is the 2024. Those would appear to have very little value anyway.

    So we're down to one second rounder in 2024 (we sent 2 of our picks from BKN/ GSW or OKC) and one in 2025 (we sent either our own or OKC's)

    I think he means the pick we gave up to get harden was used to draft adams.

    Interesting intel coming through

    Stone offered Vic a max contract extension for next year.
    Vic declined
    Stone traded him


    I may have the wrong year
