    I believe anyone can go, ANYONE, when you are a 22 win team, and have a new coach, you look to upgrade, you don't bet on a bunch of baby maybes.......IF the right star breaks loose.....otherwise you stand pat.

    It could go any way.

    1. We could trade away one or more of our young players to get a star or two.
    2. We could hold on and just add with cap room some up and coming players
    3. We could take on a bad contract like Simmons and kick the caproom discussion down the road 2 years when you know more about your kids.

    It is just very exciting to see....hopefully we play it smart because this situation only happens once......

    OKC had it with Harden, Westbrook, Durant and Ibaka - and screwed it up.......

    Let's hope Stone is better.

    This "insider info" is a whole lot of nothing. I don't like the holic comparison either, at least holic made up his own **** out of thin air. He invented a bunch of wild insider info that was entirely fabricated but at least it was interesting and original. This guy just regurgitates a bunch of rumors that have been repeated all over the internet on social media.

    I was really impressed by Suggs's NCAA Tournament performances. I believe Jamal Shead has better potential as an NBA PG. Certainly worth a second round pick!

    No because it was well known that Anthony Davis was the clear target when the lakers got a 35 year old lebron and to get him it was obviously going to cost them a 21 year old BI

    The lakers weren't in a full rebuild where they could wait on BI to fully develop for anyone to say not to give up on him or trade him. Once they got Lebron, it was immediate win now mode

    Interested in moving them? No - obviously if someone that is a top 10 player comes along, the dynamics change but the Rockets have no interest in trading any of their top young players and intend to add to them, not subtract from them.

    Yeah I can't cheer for Draymond. Tbh I don't think I could cheer for any of that Warriors core after the Harden years.

    Nook, who do you consider top 10? Maybe it IDOT, but you start it, because my threads are largely ignored, boohoo. My top 10 in no particular order:

    Giannis
    Jokic
    Tatum
    Embid
    Luka
    Lebron - too old to give up the farm for
    Davis - too injury prone to give up the farm for
    Curry - too old to give up the farm for
    Ja
    Butler - too old to give up the farm for

    Honorable mentions:
    Booker
    SGA

    Your EQ is on the floor as of right now. Not always, but in this case using 'denied' as a source is no relaible than the other source. Politics much?

    PS: I wouldnt trade Green+some extra (low level pick, swap or expandable player etc) anything less than young proven star.

    Also I especially wanna see KPJ and Green under Ime. They can learn so much from Ime's style and evolve, considering they have seem to be farthest away from said style.

    Low key, Tyrese Haliburton should be in this discussion almost as much as SGA. Kid's passing was actually insane for a 22 year old, and his 3P shooting is lights out. Don't think there's any real chance he becomes available, but definitely get on the phone with Indiana if they land in a good position to pick Scoot Henderson and see what they're thinking about that whole situation.

    Here is what I'm hearing...

    Sengun could be traded for the right price, Rockets really like him but clearly they think if there is a chance to upgrade the team by trading him they will do so.

    Am I an insider now?!

    You know what's even dumber? We have dozens of threads discussing Jalen Brown; what we'd have to trade, how he'd fit with the team, when all if it started with a 2 minute half in jest Bill Simmons segment that ended with "but if he gets all nba, which he probably does, then, he resigns and this is all meaningless". The cycle of one credible person dropping a crumb and then hundreds of twitter randos trying to look legit by "adding to the story" has to stop.

    same

    Giannis is another one for me as well…he is the most unwatchable player in the NBA by far to me

    watching any Bucks game is a huge chore

    This "insider" might increase their zero-credibility if they didn't misspell "feelers" as "fillers" the entire post.

    the funniest thing is when these fake and fraudulent insiders start feeling themselves after getting some attention so then instead of adding a little flavor and made up behind the scenes context to what’s already been reported by people that are reputable, they start making up their own sh*t that’s not even possible under the CBA or saying team X wants to sign a player in the offseason when a quick google search shows that player’s not even gonna be a free agent

    That's also not helped by the fact that the Bucks' local announce team has to be the most sedate, monotonous and utterly unentertaining broadcast I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. It's like they were trying to put me to sleep haha.

    Getting him would be an ideal dream
