    Tyty will be in the league for quite sometime...was really hoping the Rockets kept him!

    Some dude just posted we need to address our roster crunch. I believe we are taking steps with Garuba and TyTy for the Himalayan Guru.

    Alp is better than Ayton. That’s not even debatable. Ayton isn’t a good defender and doesn’t have much else to offer

    Is the CBA specific on rounding? Could he be at 89.5%?

    We have to wait and see if this is to facilitate a bigger move

    could be a 3-way
    like picks, rotation players, and cap space for Ayton, Ayton to Indy, Turner to Houston

    Cleveland just acquired a backup 5.

    If somehow this was a setup move to acquire Jarret Allen in to space i would be hooked back in and ecstatic.

    My gut feeling is telling me this is Jarrett Allen related

    They should've drafted the Mobley vs Green. That's what happens when you draft immature players and have to overcompensate by giving players away. Also not taking Levert and Jared Allen for Harden was another mistake. Again, maturity matters.

    Is he a bad defender or more like just average? Been seeing a lot of hating on him online but I can't tell if it's just people thinking he is over hyped and overpaid or if he's actually a bad player. Agreed that Sengun is already the better player though on offense.

    Well, I'm now locked out of Twitter and not much NBA stuff going on with Bluesky/Mastodon/Post so you folks need to come through for me.

    I'm trying to stay cool because I know there will be more to this....

    There better be more to this. Ty Ty barely got a chance here. On the worst team ever. Thank you, Silas!

    In more minutes he averages less steals and blocks than Alp.
    He has no awareness and no effort on that side, specially for someone his size.
    Alp is a better defender right now and 4 yrs younger

    The guy Rockets would have had in the Harden trade but traded to CLE because they didn't want to pay him?

    Stone is lost....first FA with lots of cap space seems like he doesn't know what he is doing.

    Garuba shot 40% from 3. He doesn't fit what we're trying to do. We need to sign more bricklayers. When is the Dillon Brooks announcement?

    Kind of amazing how undervalued center is right now. There is a virtual buffet of good to great centers it seems.
