    Stone should be on the phone making moves!
    Unfortunately we have assets which would be more useful in a trade rather than outright signing someone for 40 mil

    Rockets would be insane to give big money to a guy who's 34 years-old and misses 30 games/year.

    It also makes no sense for him to come here. Let another team break the bank and suffer disappointment.

    I'm really not sure what the Clippers are doing. On one hand, it's great for us if they bow out and take a step back. On the other, it's not good that the Thunder are going to potentially get a Cooper Flagg shot from LAC.

    I expect Brandon Miller to become much better offensively.

    He is tailor made for the 76ers. Great for us. Weakens one of the teams we need to surpass and he goes to the East. GSW, Clips, and Lakers are all catchable this year and beyond. Phoenix also needs to trade Durant in the worst way, because of the 2nd Apron rules. Maybe Durant and PG both to the East. One to Orlando and one to Phili.

    Sure PG like Embiid is either injured or simply sucks when playoffs begin. Match made in heaven

    He isn't called out because everyone knows he was never a 1A championship guy, at least after his knee exploded. Harden had expectations, PG, Dame, and other 2nd rate stars didn't.
