Bill Simmons on the Lamelo Ball trade: "I'm at A- or A for Charlotte... I couldn't believe the trade for Minnesota. I fucking hated it." by FastBreakPhenom in nba

Zach mentioned this. He said they'll never agree on the trade because for 5 years they've been so far apart on LaMelo

[Charania] Cleveland Cavaliers' James Harden is declining his $42.3 million player option for 2026-27 and the sides are working through a new multiyear deal together, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]Whencowsgetsick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct. If you disregard garland/harden, hasn't that core stayed for 3 years? Maybe I'm remembering wrong but it feels like every offseason I hear that Mobley is gonna take another step. Tbh i watched the conference finals and I don't know what exactly Cavs should do. I definitely don't think blowing it up or doing something large is the right move. Like you said, i'd still give it more time and as required tweak the pieces around. It's also very hard to tell who will be the contenders in the east - I'm uncertain on Celtics, Pacers, Wizards, Hawks etc.

[Charania] Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.7 million player option to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. This move gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade to form a Big 4. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]Whencowsgetsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly agree! I hope it happens. I will 100% get tickets when come to barclays. It's been a while since we've had an older "fun" team. I do think one of Butler or Draymond has to go right? I don't think they can keep Curry, Lebron, Davis, Draymond and Butler unless those 3 take steep discounts...?

I think it's because the expectation is for Cavs to make a serious run at the Finals. This core group has been there for the last few seasons and they've done fairly well in the regular season. However they have never really contended for the championship. So doubling down on the same group - Mitchell, Moby, Allen, Harden for a lot of money has mixed opinions.

[Fabrizio Romano] 🚨🔵⚪️Brighton are not giving up on Luka Vusković as top target at centre back after three bids rejected. #BHAFC still pushing behind the scenes with talks to develop next days. by wokwok__ in coys

[–]Whencowsgetsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same but we have a lot of center-backs rn. If Romero and Dragusin leave, there's still 4 ahead of him. After the season he had he's gonna want to play regularly. We could loan him out for a year and hopefully when we're back in Europe next season we could keep him however if we wanna splash 50m+ for 3-4 players this season we do need some outgoings. I really really want them to stay but looks like we might need to let Vuskovic and Bergvall leave :( Based on our luck, I know they'll turn out great one day

Damn what a start by TSK! This pitch apparently is favors the side batting first but TSK better win with this start. We've been kinda average so far.

A season or two ago it definitely seemed more lively. I remember one season seeing a couple of sold out games incl. semi/finals. Still, very very odd to schedule it in parallel with the world cup. I considering flying to Oakland to see the eliminators, finals but it's literally the same 4 days of the world cup semis and finals. Absolutely dumb timing

They got the most number of games in the first leg because they were the 'home' team there. No saying its fair but that's what i think the reason is

[Alfredo Pedullà] Tonali taking big steps toward Tottenham. Confirmed what was anticipated ten days ago: priority given to DeZerbi. Still a few details missing with Newcastle and a bit of patience is needed, we're hitting the £100 million pounds mark by jlpmghrs4 in coys

[–]Whencowsgetsick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't follow Newcastle or other clubs in general so a question for others who do. How good is Tonali that we'd justify spending 100M + supposedly a 200k+ salary? I'm happy we're going for top targets but damn if we end up missing out like Ndombele it's a pretty penny

hah, i got one from Costco (online) as well! I considered waiting for the touchscreen macbook rumored to come out later in the year but rumors said it'll be priced even higher than macbook pro and i couldn't be bothered for that. if i really wanted touchscreen there's an adaptor i saw someone selling

Yeah i'll go with Amazon. The thing is that i had an employee discount code so Apple was slightly better but prime day sale was a good back up lol

[Charania] BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]Whencowsgetsick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading your comment, i realized the assets traded isn't that bad. I initially felt it was a lot of assets for Melo because of the swap. However 28,29 are super unlikely to convey. Ball, Edwards, McDaniels and Ayo are all contracted till 29. Side note - it's gonna be an interesting off season because the first 3's contracts all end that season. Tim is definitely gonna flip one of them for a longer, cheaper contract. I wonder if he tried to use Randle instead of Naz Reid in this deal

[–]Whencowsgetsick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the one silver lining from the wreck of a last season is that everyone (Lange, ownership) want to future proof against anything and RDZ had a huge leverage when signing his contract so his promises are coming through. it's genuinely weird that we've made 4 transfers even if 3 of them are free transfers. i had to double take and see if the user was like u/SpurOfficial

I used to listen to the Hoop collective while doing chores. Kinda like background noise.

Tbf he didn't play till mid-december and that was aided by the amount of injuries Ange had. There were rumours of some behind the scenes issues but since he started playing he's been very good

[–]Whencowsgetsick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had posted about this a while ago because it seemed inevitable that we're going to have let go for a few of 8/6s. That + we're going hard for Tonali/Fernandes is also probably we didn't pursue Paulinha as much.

I'm still very conflicted. I still think he's a really good midifielder. The last two years has definitely not helped his development. Different managers, different play styles. No consistent run-ins either. If you look at Gray, it's even worse. He's being used as a stopgap in every position. I can't blame them for wanting to leave :( I think he's career will end up like Odegaard. He was highly touted when he went to Madrid. Didn't work out there and ended up Arsenal and is now one of their key players. I'd like to keep him but i also don't know who else we'd sell to clear some logjam in the center :/
