  1. Locked On’s salary cap guy is convinced the Sixers won’t let Grimes leave. We’ll see.
  2. Get in there Rockets. Offer one of the Suns’ picks.
  3. Perfect contract for Fred. A year and about $40 million less than what many of us were expecting. I won’t call not trading Jock a whiff, but I would have liked to trade him. I liked his offensive game, but he was a turnstile on defense. It would be really funny if the Lakers picked up another non rim protector big.
  4. Did the Lakers brass think Steven Adams wouldn’t be a good fit with Luka? They should have tampered the hell out of Adams.
  5. Hilariously bad Simmons’ Celtics takes: - Really didn’t want to trade Holiday or Porzingis because “they meant so much to team off the court.” - Thinks Porzingis can really help the Hawks playing off Trae, and the Celtics will bring him back in 9 months. Completely glosses over his horrific injury history and the long COVID bullshit. Did Porzingis cure cancer in Boston? I have no idea why he is beloved by their fanbase. He’s soft as baby shit and is never available. - Thinks the Holiday trade is “good for both teams.” “Holiday can be a leader on that young team. “ He is declining rapidly, is 35 years old, and is due $100+ over the next 3 years. The Blazers got fleeced. - Celtics should rush Tatum back for the playoffs. “Looking over the roster without Tatum they can win 50 games.” - Celtics shouldn’t trade Jaylen Brown unless they get 200% on the dollar back.” Good fucking luck Bill. - Simmons is super concerned about Horford joining the Lakers. WTF? Why? Horford is 39 and he would joins very old team. Is he worried about LeBron and Horford teaming up to run the LA Bridge scene? Mannix is usually very good and an asshole but he only checked Bill on rushing Tatum back. Just sat there and nodded while Simmons ranted for 90 minutes.
  6. Simmons was talking shit on Tre for not being to finish at the bucket. Who gives a shit if he’s drilling step backs all night?
  7. The Suns keeping 10 and then taking a guard would be some Ishbia on brand shit right there.
  8. Spurrier pandering to a UF alumni magazine. No way gif. If we weren’t on their schedule he wouldn’t have said shit about Texas.
  9. The Locked On Rockets guy thinks they might buy back into the second round to target a rotational player rather than paying the vet minimum. Sounds like Holiday and Landale are gone unless their player options can be packaged in a trade. Tate would have to come back at the vet minimum. He thinks the only reason to pick up FVV’s club option is to go big trade hunting in season.
  10. OU figuring out they’re fucked in high school recruiting this early is unfortunate. I had hoped Nagy would run his head into the wall for 2 more years. I imagine they’ll go head to head with Tech for the top portal mercenaries and lose often. Their only pitch is playing in a better conference/chance at revenge against Texas. I suppose their next move will be confetti gunning offers at track meets.
  11. Please save your money, watch a couple seasons of I Think You Should Leave to tide you over until this is a streamer. It was good, but as others have said it’s like a 100 minute sketch. Not worth $25. Tim kills as a weirdo. The shit he says under his breath is always funny as hell. Mara is great as the too good for Tim wife. Son is also funny. I think Paul Rudd failed to pick a lane as the straight man. It felt like a sequel to his character from I Love You Man. It just didn’t work. Tried to play it down the middle. It’s a funnier character if he’s a sleazy d bag weatherman with a yellow Vette or an aging hippie that likes to slap the bass.
  12. I enjoyed this episode. It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World vibes. Rick and Morty episodes usually work and this was no exception. Well done.
  13. One of the funniest monologues I’ve ever seen.
  14. The Suns GM was Ishbia’s fraternity brother at Michigan State. Their fanbase is terrified they’ll take Jase Richardson at 10. It would be really funny if it happened.
  15. So the Sun’s GM is Ishbia’s fraternity brother from Michigan State. Their fanbase is terrified they’ll take Jase Richardson at 10. I think they should trade back and try and get more picks. They really need young bodies to start over. 2-3 picks between 19-30 would really accelerate their rebuild. Zach Lowe was full in spin mode today. Basically said the Heat and Raptors don’t view themselves as win now contenders and they blinked on a KD trade. I’d argue any playoff or play in teams are contenders in the East next season.
  16. The Locked on Suns guys are passing around a bottle of cyanide if y’all are looking for LOL’s.
  17. The Suns probably think they can use 5 seconds to pick up an additional first (28-30). It’s happened before. It’s not nothing especially when it’s 5 of them in a single package, but it’s a small price to pay for KD.
  18. This. KD’s defensive prowess often gets overlooked. He’s the best defender on the Suns by a wide margin. Adds more length and rim protection.
  19. If KD were ring chasing, he would have gone to Miami given how wide open the East. It’s very cool he wanted to be closer to Austin to close out his career. Riley is losing his mind. Allegedly he wouldn’t include Highsmith in a deal for KD.
  20. I’m sure we’ll change the thread title. The East should be historically bad next year without Tatum and Haliburton. Giannis’ best look at a title in years. I could see the Pistons making some noise and the Knicks taking a step back.
  21. The East is going to be dogshit next year. Giannis should have a pretty clear path to the Finals.
  22. Can Johnson would be really expensive. The Nets would want picks, probably 27 and 29.
  23. We need a welfare check on the Locked on Suns guy. It sounded like he commit seppuku if it wasn’t Jabari+Eason+10 for KD. He even threw out Amen as a possibility. He’s one sick fucker.
