Updated to they got a pick and a pick swap:
2031 unprotected first round pick
2030 top-1 protected pick swap
Didn’t know you could put protections on swaps until this tbh.
Sounds like the Wolves were super high on him.
Biden has pushed funding and weapons to the Israeli military despite clear evidence they will be used for the genocide of Palestinians. So yes he is responsible.
Dominos is really only worth it if you’re doing the 2 for $5.99 each deal. Although I think that’s even up to $6.99 now lol
Feel like he’s been linked to nearly every open coaching position for a while now so glad to see he finally got one.
Yeah I agree with pretty much all your points although I think given Embiids health history it makes sense keeping him at 1B. KD at this point should’ve been 2A and yeah thought it was a bit odd they had Brown so low he should’ve been 2B.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the trade did not include any draft compensation and was a “straight-up swap.”
Must be because he’s in his last year of his deal but yeah feels like they could’ve gotten more. Especially with the deals timing it feels like he wasn’t even shopped around?
Per Woj:
The Chicago Bulls are trading two-time All-Defensive guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Josh Giddey, sources tell ESPN.
Solid move by OKC.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that the deal is “in the neighborhood of $8 million per season.”
No break next week either so we’ll get to see the 2 Nikas versus the elder!
Definitely, he’ll make a solid trio with Hali and Turner they can build around for the future.
They especially need his defense given how terrible most of the team is in that aspect.
Has to be the most $ left a coach has on their deal when fired right?
Ahh I forgot about breakfast, that makes more sense. I was picturing butter drenched fires lol.
In one video, which has 30,000 views on TikTok, a young woman becomes increasingly exasperated as she attempts to convince the AI that she wants a caramel ice cream, only for it to add multiple stacks of butter to her order.
Lmao didn’t even know you could add butter to something at McDonald’s. If you can’t then it’s even funnier it decided that’s a thing.
For Lively specifically since he’s a rookie they can retain him through the 2027-2028 season.
Yeah this year was definitely their best chance. I think Denver would’ve beat them (Wolves are just a tough matchup for them) and OKC is on the upswing so it’ll be harder next year.
They still have a chance as long as Kyrie is Kyrie but like you said that’s not going to be much longer. Once he starts to decline they may have some more future picks available and can swing something but outside of that they’re hoping to luck into someone making a jump that’s not expected.
I said “gentleman’s sweep” which means a team won in 5 games. Some say it’s specifically when a team goes up 3-0, is a “gentleman” and lets the other team win 1 at home to not get swept, and then finishes the series in game 5. Which would also be the case here.
There’s a lot more nuance about how much you can offer but in short you can go over the cap to resign your own players.
Enlighten me what the “accurate story” is then.
This year the 2nd round is on a separate day (tomorrow) so he still may get drafted. More than likely some team is going to take him since 2nd rounders aren’t valued much.
