That Clippers-Paul George trade has gotta be the worst in NBA history given what SGA is

And what Jalen Williams is becoming and already is.

It’s the Russell Wilson trade of the NBA

I've been on the Hartenstein bandwagon since the playoffs, but thought Valanciunas might be just as good. The disparity in their salaries appears to prove me wrong. I know he's much older, but dude's a beast in the post.

Either way, good job OKC on not locking into a big man in the draft and addressing that need through FA.

Yeah I like Jonas on most teams but IHart fits the style of play that OKC wants to play. Jonas is a little more plodding, more of a Zach Edey type.

I agree, it's just $45 more against the cap that also took hits for Joe and Wiggins (both of which could have been retained for an extra year for peanuts but were given lucrative deals instead).

JV can’t guard/move well enough to be any more than a situational big in this version of the NBA

Klay Thompson joining the Mavs

Makes you wonder why the Lakers are even wasting time and money trying. There is a 100% chance the West is won by Denver, OKC, Minnesota or Dallas.

This is a super intriguing offseason already. Klay and George are kind of intriguing for the teams they went to. It’s kind of cool to see an offseason where moves are more about finding the right pieces instead of a select few teams building empires.

It feels like teams are more content to build around their superstars versus the “big 3” approach.

It's got to be up there that's for sure.

Trade is not final yet though, Warriors are holding up the trade

Paul George officially to the 76ers. That team is gonna be hurt all year.

Crazy how the 76ers drafted their way out of becoming a dynasty.

Fultz over Tatum.

Simmons over Brown.

Okafor over several better options.

Missed this earlier. He's going to start.

PAChiefsGuy 07-01-2024 02:13 PM

Clay to the Mavs. I think that is a terrible signing. He's washed.

Never thought I'd see him in a different uniform. That is going to be weird
