    Welp, that's all folks.

    Maybe a cheap buyout big man. But, this is what we're rolling with. Please stay healthy, PJ.

    Again, it's about price.

    But all moot now.

    Time to sign Kenny Faried (maybe even Jeff Green too) and scout waiver and buyout lists.

    The obsession with TT by Morey and some fans here is one of the funniest things of this trade deadline. I'm glad we got to laugh at some of the crazy deals. Best deadline in terms of weird ass deals, no great players traded and just quiet as a mouse.

    How long do we have to wait for the buyout market to clear ?

    Isn’t it usually like March ?

    Thank good Pj is capable of playing 40 mpg :) .... /cry

    We need a body that could give us 15 replacement level minutes . And we traded a healthy player in bell for Bruno .

    Will Hartenstein get minutes .

    Look I don’t mean to be alarmist , but PJ is literally going to die .

    Swapping a late (on paper) 1st for an early 2nd would help obviously, but that would be still too risky imo, i mean, i think it's likely we'll still be far from a lottery team in two years, but i wouldn't bet a 1st on that...in two years a lot can happen, some teams that are now behind us might catch or even pass ahead, and the reality is we're a very old team so, i'd gladly take a risk only if it's worth it, for two bench tier guys eh...i'd rather bet on a buyout and keep the pick.

    Anyone that can promise him a hush hush extension in the summer will get Mr. Thompson's services. Would Tilman make this kind of promise and sacrifice EG to the LTS gods in the summer?

    Another year where we fall for this. At least I did not allowed myself to get excited. Or maybe Capela's trade killed the buzz for me.

    Sorry guys, but let's focus on the positive, eventually, we are going to rely on Harty

    it'll be hilarious if we get O'Quinn, Thompson and another center from the buyout market.

    Morey: You all want centers? Here are all your centers!!
    MDA: lol they ain't gonna get PT bro!
