Good franchises always prey on the bad franchises. OKC got Joe and Jarad it’s the same as when Hinkie would trade with the Kings.
S
Istg every time KAT drives it’s so out of control and he’s flailing like he’s desperately trying to hunt for fouls lol
T
Stoutland saw the Jared news and said, “I’m out.”
B
I assumed we would be trading McCain, I just figured it would involve a player coming back as well 🤷
O
i remember when this sub thought thybulle was untouchable
I
Sell low on distressed asset > pay over market for decent asset > draft well > give in to coach who plays young stars too many minutes > injuries > duck the tax > repeat

I wonder if they’re trying to get in on the Giannis trade. Not for Giannis, but peices that need to be moved. Timberwolves desperately want Giannis but they don’t have any draft capital. Apparently they’d need a couple of teams to work with them to get picks. We wouldn’t have to give up all our picks but we’d get someone in the collateral. And because its multi-team it doesn’t have to be someone from the Wolves or the Bucks. If that is Morey’s swing and the whole thing falls through and we get nothing to improve the team this year, thats just gross neglect.
E
thats what I think .we will get in on the deal and hopefully get a player
L
I feel Giannis going to Minnesota, and Minnesota is being very verbal about it- but as you say, they lack the draft pick capacity. You are also correct on the multi team deal, and I have a very big feeling we are a part of that deal.
D
I fear its almost too logical. Minnesota is being aggressive while the Bucks are threatening to wait until the summer. I was watching the Bucks game yesterday and I’d never seen a sadder looking group of blowout winners. Thought it might happen then, but I didn’t realize they had a game tonight. Its either going to actually happen by early tomorrow morning or we are going to find out it all fell apart at the last minute.
L
In which I’m sure there is a contingency for- where I see the Rockets and Tari Eason being the target.
O
The “east is weak” until it’s time for a contender west team to play a top team out east smh….. the nuggets are really about to lose to both pistons and the Knicks. And watch the raptors and Celtics win as well
S
Jamal Murray went on a 9-0 run by himself to give Denver the lead
O
Ngl, the purpose of this comment was to jinx all 3 teams lol seems like it’s working so far
M
Stoutland just left the birds, can this day get any worse?
I
Jared McCain, nba champion
I
fun, now Stoutland is gone
S
Traded McCain Stoutlands gone from the birds Today sucks bro
S
It’s serendipitous that the Thunder continue to do the Process better than the 76ers.
S
Sixer fans getting big mad over the 9th player coming off the bench departing will always be a classic. I’m not even a Grimes or Nick Nurse fan but anybody with eyes could tell who is the better player right now. Getting mad at Grimes getting playing time over Jared is crazy. Sometimes it’s as if people don’t even care about the Sixers winning or losing as long as VJ and Jared has a good game, it’s psychotic.
C
no matter what shit you say, were not better now than we were at yesterday.
R
We’re not worse either. At least our championship odds don’t change, since McCain wouldn’t play in the playoffs. M
S
The value of rookie scaled/controlled contracts can’t be overlooked. I’d rather we did a Kuminga than this.
S
Know how you can get more rookie controlled contracts or flexibility for bigger trades? Believe it or not, having more draft picks….
S
Not even considering the ceiling McCain showed (he would’ve re-drafted much higher), moving up from a late 1st to 16 cost more than 3 2nds. Volume doesn’t equal quality in this case.
S
The ceiling he showed for a sample size of…20 games, on a trash losing team.
S
Who would trade away a 16th pick for a ~26 and 3 future seconds? (And you can’t say Morey) McCain would re-draft as a top 10 pick
I
Go get Dosunmu please
I

S
man that’s a heartbreaker right there 🙁
S
People in here actually defending Josh Harris of all people? Lol, has to be strategic bots
P
OKC had three first round picks in this draft and they gave us the worst of the three, I’m still not over that
I
Presti owns us
T
If it makes you guys feel better, the Raptors also ducked the tax today dumping Ochai with a 2032 2nd, just to duck the tax like we did. And the Celtics are $5.8M over the tax and probably still trying to get under.
E
dallas got under too
C
Stop saying this was a money saving move. You don’t understand the luxury tax if you think it was. It was acquiring picks to send them somewhere else or actually draft players. Since PG got suspended, the team was $1.3M over. That’s it. They could have dumped Eric Gordon and been under.
T
I think the entire fan base is hoping/praying a 2nd bigger trade happens tonight/tomorrow, if not then everyone will be wayyyyyyyyy more upset about the McCain trade.
I
It can be both
M
Utah is waiving Lonzo. If we don’t get Giannis Lonzo and MJ and actually just traded Jared to duck the tax I will boycott the team (I won’t) until Josh Harris sells the team.
L
Okay, now go out and get Dosunmu for cheap please god.
V
McCain is another Landry shamet…settle down yall
E
Shamet was substantially bigger
V
I meant in terms of what he’ll do in his career.
I
Insane cope.
V
It’s just annoying that we dumped him simply to duck the tax and nothing else because the owner has to spend on a 34 year old washed LB for the commanders
R
We didn’t dump him for nothing. We traded him for picks.
C
morey would rather have 3 johni broomes and 1 jaden springer instead of 1 mccain. get this sorry ass team the fuck outta here
S
you do know Maxey was a 21st pick right?
C
lightning in a bottle, same with mac; we knew what mac was capable of when healthy. i dont give a shit what any of you bozos say, this is a stupid ass trade and i’ll stand on it no matter what conjectural bullshit any of you idiots say
S
who is mac? McCain? and no we didnt we had a 23 game sample size. I wish i was a redditor when we traded away MCW to see those reactions
