June 30, 20232 yr Cuban seems like a brilliant guy in every other area of business except the Mavericks. Has he checked out in the last few years?

June 30, 20232 yr Author Grant is Dame's guy but yeah that is tough to justifyHe is a number 4 on a top team. You can’t pay a number 4 guy $30m with this CBA. 3 years, $75m would have been an overpay.

And now that the dust has settled on the layoffs there can be little doubt that Desmond has pictures, and apparently lots of them. There is no other explanation how a clueless buffoon like him continues to be employed.
June 30, 20232 yr I know it makes sense for the Lakers to lowball Austin Reaves until someone else sets the market, but geez

July 1, 20232 yr Tyrese Haliburton is about to win over a bunch of Gen X and older millennial fans with this tweet after getting a max deal tonight

July 1, 20232 yr Author Besides the Grant terrible deal, the Kuzma one is the next most shocking. I thought the wiz were rebuilding / tanking? Are they trying for the 8th pick again?
July 1, 20232 yr Every KAT soundbite I hear from him he sounds delusional about himself and not just in a stars have egos kind of way. What really seems to separate the top guys is the mental side of the game both on the court and off. And desire to win vs other things.

Are they trying for the 8th pick again? Maybe they think Jordan Poole is a winning basketball player. And, I mean, I'm not sure who you think is going to be winning them games on this team. Tyus Jones might be their best player. This is a bottom 5 roster in the league easily.
July 1, 20232 yr Two years in a row that Portland has committed 9 figured to someone that I had to ask, "Wait...who?" Partially my fault for not following the league as closely, but what a stuck organization.
July 1, 20232 yr Annnd dame requests a tradeJfc lmao. I know none of us give a shit…but wow that would’ve been nice to know before giving grant 160,000,000
July 1, 20232 yr Portland has the building blocks of a good young team heading into a rebuild and then they go and sign Grant to that contract. Good Lord.
July 1, 20232 yr Lol. Dame should get a cut of that contract. He had to have planned that out with him. What a dick.
July 1, 20232 yr Wonder what kind of package they can get for Dame? Quote Lillard, who turns 33 on July 15, had a career year last season, averaging 32.2 points and 7.3 assists but played just 58 games as he sat out the last month of the season. The highlight of Lillard's season came on February 26 against the Houston Rockets when he exploded for 71 points. His 32.2 points per game would be the most by a player to change teams the following season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
July 1, 20232 yr Portland has the building blocks of a good young team heading into a rebuild and then they go and sign Grant to that contract. Good Lord.Draymond was kind the missing piece to dame staying. He was signed with GS at 5:00:01 last night, and Portland signed grant shortly after Wtf were they thinking? Give it a day so at least you’re not stuck with grant at 35M a year and no direction.No team is going to steal grant and thus your title hopes in the first 18 hrs of FA.

July 1, 20232 yr Hot take, but at this point I would MUCH rather have 23 yr old Tyler Herro for 4 years / $120M than 33 yr old Damian Lillard for 2 years / $93M. If I was Portland, I would insist on something like Tyler Herro + Nikola Jovic + 2 first rounders for Dame. And if I was Miami, I would probably make that trade. Dame gives them a real shot at a title for a couple of years.

July 1, 20232 yr Lmao. That’s all?Well they were 50% undrafted, 2 untouchables and then Tyler…. So yea. Might need to find a sucker with an excessive pick load to give Portland some and unload a bad contract to take herro. So OKC, Utah, SA and NOP?
July 1, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Aqua Buddha said: Wow. Sign and trade maybe? Keeping him from everything I read. Starters: SGA, Dort, Giddey, Jalen Williams, and Chet Bench: Micic, Cason Wallace, Oladipo, Kenny Williams, Isaiah Joe, Wiggins, Dieng, Jaylin Williams and Poku Thunder are going to sneaky good.

I don't think they're sneaking up on anyone. They almost made the playoffs and had a first team all-NBA, top 5 MVP on the team last season.

Chet has evidently put on weight. I don't think he'll ever get to 230 or above but I could see him eventually at 220.
