kd requesting/requested a trade is even spicier

Hawks made it to round 3 in 2021. They pretty much need the stars to align for them. It feels like the same type of team that they used to have, a perennial playoff contender that would lose to Lebron. It's why poor Al Horford has a 4-19 (started 1-15) playoff record vs Lebron.

"the most fun i have is when we go to Toronto and play..."


FVV was an undrafted, below average player behind Delon Wright in the Raptors point guard depth chart; FVV got way better playing games in Mississauga. So many American NBAers never want to go to Toronto... how many want to play in Mississauga? :D

Funny how no one gives me a hard time about saying FVV was below average.

I think the chance of Durant coming to Toronto is zero. It is fun to watch the frenzy though.

Clippers have to omw of the favorites if they stay healthy. Chances they stay healthy, 2%.

Gobert to twolves for beverly, beasly and multiple firsts. Guess towns will play pf. I wonder if gobert can make up for towns attrocious d and russels not very good d. His communication might help and I think edwards has potential. Makes them a lot more interesting.

I really agree. Gobert is a classic example of someone who can win titles as a piece, but not as a central piece.

The Raptors/Ujiri are playing this Durant thing perfectly.

The Raptors claim they're interested while stating they won't include the one player that must be in the trade. The Raptors want to avoid being part of a bidding war that would improve the package the Nets, a division rival, get back. By offering far below what the Raptors know the Nets can get elsewhere they avoid the bidding war.

apologies in advance Mr. Kotter...

Best case scenario for him is a better Tyson Chandler. But a 2-big man pairing is problematic in today's NBA with all the switching. It's one thing for a big man to make up for your point guard's defensive deficiencies. It's quite another to make up for another big man's defensive deficiencies.

It was way way too mucb to give up. The only upside is it is the first time anyone that is not a fan of a specific player is actually interested in tge twolves.

Considering Gobert's age, the 2027 pick and the 2029 pick-swap and maybe even the 2025 pick could be juicy for the Jazz. Though I suppose having a healthy Anthony Edwards would prevent it from being too high a pick.

Ainge is making the Twolves his new Nets. Giving the Warriors some competition.

The craziest thing is what was the competition that they needed to pay that much? I can not see the Raps coming close to that payment and no one else seemed interested.

Its the War of 1812 all over again....for someone to dig up this old clip. LOL.



Let's take a closer look at "soft". Every big city has criminals. i like my criminals soft. I have spent dozens and maybe even hudreds of late nights in the worst neighbourhoods in Toronto ... I've received 1 mugging attempt and the guy changed his mind after i talked to him for about 3 minutes.

Toronto has the softest criminals I've ever seen.
No idea how Toronto and Canada being soft causes pro basketball players who play in Toronto to be soft tho.

teams seeking to acquire Durant have to be wondering...
"when Durant asks for a trade next July with three years left on his deal what can we get for him?"

As a fan I wouldn't want my team to give up too much. He is still one of the, if not the best player in the league but he is also getting old and has missed a lot of time recently. Maybe a team like the heat that are already all in gives up a Herro and a bunch of picks. He seems to want to go to the suns maybe the Suns are willing to give up Ayton and a couple picks and the some one else is willing to give up a decent amount of picks for Ayton? And the nets can't really tank because they traded away all their picks.

Its going to be ugly for them no matter what. Kind of sad I would have liked to see how Durrant Harris Kyrie, simmons and mills did. It sounds like a decent roster.

On one hand, Ayton is likely available. On the other hand, the Suns don't think he is worth the money for a reason. Maybe if there's a third team who thinks Ayton is a mini-Gobert, they can swing a three team trade? But the Suns would have to add more to the table.

Suns' position seem precarious. It's one thing if they just need CP3 to be a steadying veteran presence for their youngsters, but they seem quite dependent on him actually playing well and producing at a high level still. They would need a reload in the middle of Booker's and many of their youngsters' primes, more so if they got Durant as well.

Pacers offer sheet ayton 4 year 133m. I wonder if they have a turner deal in place if the suns do not match?

Edit: reports have suns matching.
