    Maybe Torres can ask Cuban about that? They definitely gave Dirk something in return for such a low deal.

    Which team had the worst offseason?
    New Orleans Pelicans: 9
    Phoenix Suns: 4
    Sacramento Kings: 2
    Chicago Bulls: 1
    Los Angeles Lakers: 1
    Memphis Grizzlies: 1
    Philadelphia 76ers: 1
    Portland Trail Blazers: 1

    The Pelicans more than doubled anyone else's total, with voters not only disliking the price they paid on draft night to land Derik Queen, but also taking on Jordan Poole in exchange for C.J. McCollum's expiring deal. "I just don't get what they are doing," one East executive said.

    The other two teams to receive multiple votes, the Suns and Kings, were knocked for their overall direction.

    The media just doesn't want to admit that the Spurs have like....no real direction? Just going to be Wemby chucking 40x a game and getting an All NBA First Team Selection.

    The Queen trade is the dumbest move of the decade easily.

    I would still have the Luka trade as dumber.

    KD needs to bulk up if he wants to be one of the greatest. The NBA is not full of Julian Newman's guarding you.

    Two thoughts. 1. KD looks great 2. How hard can it be to look great against that man with the rubber stick?

    At least they could use a big rubber chicken to add some intimidation. My 13 yo daughter plays tougher defense. Sheesh!

    I must say Durant, Harden and Kyrie are 3 god darn talented guys but none of them are great leaders and a tad clumsy.

    Brooklyn.....
