    Bridges is solid but he's more of a 2/3 than a 3/4, and we have plenty of those

    What asset they'll aquire? Covington will play two years here and likely bolt for a paycheck ala Ariza once he'll be 32. Capela in two years will be still under contract for two years and 27 years old.

    I get the argument on a guy like Bridges, it's a fair point, but it's not like the guys we'll eventually get to replace Capela are exactly proven players, Len is certified trash, Kanter is Kanter, Theis looks like a solid player tbh, but still 6'8 and expiring in a year, Looney is always injured and not exactly proven either, he was solid with the Warriors although he wasn't a full time starter, but he also played next to Draymond, in the best defense in the league...i really don't know if he would've any impact in a team like the Rockets that plays completely different then the Warriors and has an ass defense.

    People said the same thing when we traded our starting PG on a championship caliber team for Kyle Lowry, a relative unknown.

    Shot better last season. Buy now while value is lower. 40% 3P last year in school so this season likely the outlier.

    This guy is now saying Rockets would trade Clint and a 1st for Covington. **** that.

    @cyberx @ch44 please tell me we won’t include a first with Clint just for RoCo?

    That seems highly unlikely.

    They guy is saying our first will go to Minny, and that Hawks would send out BKN 1st, Len and Parker. No word on Reddish or Hunter, and he’s a Hawk source.

    "Y'all might not love this trade for Atlanta. Fyi.

    That said, MIN getting punked right now"

    ...


    "Parker

    Len

    Brooklyn 1st

    Is still what we giving in terms of Capela.

    It's the Wiggins thing that ya'll might hate.

    As far as MIN, their getting punked for their future picks. GS don't want HOU or Brooklyn picks, they want more Minny picks.

    That said this deal so f***ing good for MIN, I don't blame them for taking up the butt for this one. They might have two 1sts for this draft and up to 30 million. They are looking like a trade force for the summer."

    ...

    "Kevin Love hasn't come up from Atlanta side yet but I think it's enviable since we already know CLE wants Wiggins for Love.

    I just don't see how Wiggins will be appealing to the Hawks but idk"
    ...

    One guy actually says something right though... which is "You are hinting we take Wiggins for them. But here is the question, if its so f***ing good for Minnesota how does that translate to being punked?"

    ATL need to give up more than that. Give us one of them wings for gifting you a defensive anchor with playoff experience.

    ATL needs to bite the bullet. Imagine Trae Young throwing lobs to Capela all game

    Injury prone. ATL trying to finesse us by sliding in this deal.
