So, either Cyber is fast spreading the word or the algorithm is messing with me 😉
Go Portugal!

Hahaha! It’s not me, so that proves we have very good taste in music around here! 😉

You guys should all be happy you disagree with each other or you’d have nothing to talk about. So there’s really no reason to be assholes to each other about the disagreements.

No, it’s a call in show. She was just an irate fan that really hates Thibs. I thought it might have been you.

E, was that you ranting on KFS Study Hall right after the OG trade? Do you have a “Fire Thibs” t-shirt?

Unfortunately, no. Is he/she selling subscriptions to their newsletter?

My biggest worry is we traded away IQ to save a couple picks and not pay him $20-25 million a year

It’s distinctly possible. Perhaps even likely.

Seems like they’ve made their move just to get stuck in the mezzanine.

You can never be stuck in the mezzanine with a player like Halliburton.

Not to mention they have all but one of their firsts from 2025 on.

That team is definitely not stuck.

What I don’t get is why in the world did Masai not just fucking trade VanVleet? He’s clearly good at optimizing his return in trades, so….why didn’t he just do that?

That, trading what looks like a very valuable pick for Poeltl, and not moving OG last year

My biggest worry is we traded away IQ to save a couple picks and not pay him $20-25 million a year and we will turn around and trade a couple picks (or a pick and Grimes who is worth a pick) for a player in DJM is worse than IQ in almost every way, older, less likable, and paid about what IQ was wanting anyway.

Right, but OG is better than IQ—or at least a better fit—while DJM is probably better than Grimes and also a better fit.

Plus the move unlocks Deuce who was wasted value away on the bench, looks good, and is under contract for almost nothing.
