Love this trade! I think it comes down to Memphis and their evaluation on Herro. And Miami being realistic that a "star" is not coming back for Herro.
When you have emergency spinal surgery, lots of drugs in your system, and time on your hands, you do stuff like this... I don't know much about the rookies outside of the top 4 - hence not a lot about draft selections.

Herniated disc... spinal stenosis... PSA: if your back (esp. spine) doesn't feel good, get to DR right away Apparently mine had been getting worse for months - it got to the point where I would lose my balance just standing up, numbness all over my legs & feet, drop foot, you name it... Rehab is going to be a b!tch... but the PT asst is a gorgeous Venezuelan woman who used to play college basketball (great motivation!)!
Ive had 2 discectomies and I screwed up my tailbone recently. Spine issues suck. Hope you heal quick.
I wonder, if Toronto is looking to start from scratch, if we could convince them to do: Siakam + Van Vleet For Wall's 2 year contract + Bradley + #23 + #24 + two of Brooklyn's picks. Would leave them with only one bad contract, plenty of picks to add to their young core and team is ready to tank for a foundational piece. They also shed $70-80m in guaranteed salary as well as Wall being an expiring the following summer means they can go superstar-hunting soon. That would give us: Wood Siakam/ KJMJ Tate/KJMJ Green or Cunningham/Gordon Van Vleet/KPJ Could we SERIOUSLY contend with this roster if we can put a top ten defense on the floor?
New Orleans is talking about swapping Bledsoe 10 for 17, and we should be all over that. Wood to Sac Bagley, House, 23 and 24 to NOP Bledsoe, 9 and 10 to Hou
If we take Jalen Green and Raptors take Mobley... To Toronto: Eric Gordon DJ Augustin Avery Bradley (non guaranteed) #23, #24, Detroit #1 To Rockets: Pascal Siakim Toronto uses Gordon for backcourt depth and Mobley replaces Siakim. That's 3 first rounders and no long term money back... will be hard for them to get more... I think this team is a potential mid tier 5-6 playoff team if Green is solid and some other teams have issues... that would be high side... i think low end they compete for playoff spot... PG Porter / Wall SG Green SF Tate / House PF Siakim / Martin C Wood / Olynyk

Mid draft night trade thought: With Green and Sengun on their way, and prior to knowing what we do with 23/24, here’s my hypothetical: If GS called up and offered Kuminga/Moody for Wood, do you do it?
Would you trade Eric Gordon, S&T Kelly Olynyk, & rights to Garuba to Indiana for Myles Turner? Gordon goes home & plays for likely an Eastern Conference contender (top 4 seed) Olynyk gets a contender (and it looks like he is leaving Htown anyway) Garuba shows promise, but has a big buy-out and needs some time / development Turner makes Rox a 7 - 8 seed iMHO, but maybe these young guys need whiff of the playoffs to build that desire.... It seems like a lot for Turner, but really it is Gordon + Olynyk + 24. Y'all know much I want Turner here and he fits the offense (and provides defense)
Eff the trade proposal, I have no idea if it's good. How are YOU doing? Trade proposals seem to be therapeutic for you.
Luv 2 you as well, Broski! I'm good... getting stronger.... never could go to my left anyway.... lol They did take away the Venezuelan and replaced her with a Chilean dude... he's good, but my motivation is not as strong...
