This is going to end up being a 12 team trade by the time the dust settles

[justinandimcool]

The Aron Baynes era has ended in Toronto.

Hot take: Nunn leads the Lakers in minutes, and is the only double figure scorer outside of the Big 3 (THT will be close)

God he is such a blowhard. Like no one is buying your underdog narrative.

Will the gold medal game at least be on cable lol. Looks like I'm watching the TSN stream again. Tbh their broadcast is way better than Bob Fitzgerald

[justinandimcool]

here we goooo

[Balor3012]

Lotta money for an old ass Danny Green

[justinandimcool]

he probably had a ton of suitors for the MLE though. good get for Philadelphia

[justinandimcool]

good defense in the 1st but insanely stagnant offense. pretty much the reverse of the exhibition

sigh. the players stink but Popovich is truly awful. let’s get a run!!

[Rodey]

Lolol this is a bad first half

[Balor3012]

Everybody but Durant just looks like a regular guy out there.

[justinandimcool]

let’s freaking go!

a little bit more movement on offense means a lot, this Australia team is not quick north south

[justinandimcool]

Durant lets goooo

[justinandimcool]

sheesh i wanna win but i didn’t wanna see Mills completely disgrace his country lol. he is poop kinda hard to watch tbh

Landale stinks. Australia shooters cold

Booker has come alive!!! 32-10 third q

[justinandimcool]

congrats to Lavine for his first 4-game winning streak since college!!!

not sure i’ll catch France/Slovenia ugh

[ricky towel]

Zoran and Luka were bad.

Randle's contract slightly higher than John Collins lol

[justinandimcool]

We like that, a lot!

[Balor3012]

Not really sure what it would take to pull him away. Unless he just really wants a challenge with a bad team.

Deer are really just cheaping out and are not going to use their MLE, are they?

I'll still pretend they're going to use it on Schroder though.

[Balor3012]

Haven't heard anything on Jackson either but he is definitely worth more than the MLE

yeah same with San Antonio, i don’t think we’re using our MLE either. we’re out of roster spots though, and all our guys can play. for Milwaukee i think they’re being cheap

yeah Jackson and Schröder both might have to settle for the MLE (though the Clippers can give Jackson a tiny bit more)

Oklahoma City still has a crap ton of space though lol

Justin, sent you an NBA related email. Wanted to make sure you saw it.

It's just annoying. Our owners frustrate the hell out of me (well, specifically Lasry). I can even get behind the rationale of letting Tucker walk. He wasn't worth the tax hit re-signing him would have caused. And I don't even mind taking a flyer on Hood and Semi. But you can't just essentially stand pat then. You have to use the MLE.

Maybe it's a scenario where Horst tried and guys didn't want to come, but I don't even think the Bucks were linked to someone like Patty, who would have been perfect.

Fox for Simmons swap about the only thing that makes sense if he wants to go to California.

Also kind of proves the theory that Simmons has never had a passion for basketball and just wants to bang Kardashians/Jenners.

[justinandimcool]

^ Oubre to Charlotte. i think Milwaukee or San Antonio couldve gotten him for the MLE, Oubre only got 12 a year

i think Simmons goes to Sacramento too tbh
