    Morey is a trade deadline type of guy. I'm very excited though seeing how it all plays out. Best thing to root for right now is CP3's health and ability.....one possibility is him having a great 1st half then getting traded after all star break (not sure how likely)

    They never agreed with Ponds on anything.

    I typically appreciate the sense of humor. It’s not registering recently. It must hurt to be this sad.

    Rockets are not going to be relevant this FA, even worse than last year. Ben McLemore will be our best chance at a splash and that's no knock on the guy, I'd love him over Gerald Green at this point. Just expect that and even if we got an exciting prospect, there's no way you'd see him under MDA or even make an impact until 2-3 years from now.

    What were you expecting to happen tonight with no picks and very few tradeable assets, OP? I get the pessimism, but let's at least wait until a week or two into free agency for the pathetic "sky is falling" threads.

    This includes buyouts as well....let's see, Josh Smith, Faried, Lowry (via trade), Bobby Jackson and Lou Williams are just a few to come to mind.

    Trade Harden if you want change. FA's don't wanna play for guys who play for personal stats, and quit on the team when it really counts

    Warriors bought into the second round. Why didn't win at all cost Tilman? If the pick didn't work out he could be cut. Second round picks are not guaranteed. Thanks win at all cost Tilman.

    shrug
    Anyone who was expecting a big night was reading the tea leaves all wrong. I'm not mad because this is what happens on draft night for a team with no draft picks and no time to buy and develop longshot project second-rounders. The team still needs to do something in free agency or trade to have any shot, but doing nothing on draft night is not some damning sign of apathy.

    To all you "luxury tax reasons" people: stop with your bullshit. Nobody on here has 100 million to burn for going over the tax line 3 years in a row. That includes billionaires. 100 million doesn't grow on trees. Get a hold of yourself.

    If you're not comfortable paying the tax for Tilman, then shut up and let him run his business. If you're offering to pay it, you're worth listening to.

    In short, @Carl Herrera STFU. You're not that funny. Especially when every 2nd person on here repeats that same stupid ****ing joke.

    Your gimmick is more than stale. Not even about basketball any more, you just post like a ****wit. Once upon a time your takes were entertaining. Now... get in the bin @Carl Herrera . You aren't funny.

    I just joined this site cause I figured it was a good spot to discuss the team without having to deal with trolls from other teams, but Jesus... It is the same repetitive bull **** by this idiot and like 10 of his butt buddies.

    35th pick is only 1 million dollars count against salary cap.
    GS buy 2 picks.
    Jazz are exciting to buy 2picks too.
