Yes they'd have to somehow rope a 3rd team to take Wiggins, I don't think the Raps would want him. If GSW wants Siakam so bad, they'll find a way to make it work.

Zimbra Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I think they could just about get there with a sign & trade of Oubre and including Looney in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 So they could field Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Siakam, and Draymond? That would be a nightmare for opp offense. They'd be targeting Curry all night mind you. No bench either. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Anyone got any mock drafts? I'm assuming Cade Cunningham to Detroit is a given. Who the Rockets take is up for debate. Seems most Houston peeps are 50-50 on Evan Mobley or Jalen Green, with Suggs a distant third. I have no idea who the Cavs or Raptors want. I lean Jalen Green for the Rockets. What do y'all think?

Zimbra Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I can't remember who used to call Mahimni "The Human Victory Cigar" (because you only play him if you already know you're going to win) but it was a really good nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafted Thabeet over Harden. Yikes. Bull has a lot of goodwill being the color guy next to uber homer Bill Worrell. Was shocked Bullard didn't get renewed, but I guess they're going in a different direction. Hopefully they hire Vernon Maxwell as the new color guy. I have no problem with Bull being in the front office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Somehow I missed that it was a general term, I just remember there was somebody who always called him that when he was on the Spurs. And because I have nowhere else to post this, I saw the most baffling piece of NBA merch yesterday: a black and gold Chicago Bulls baseball jersey with really prominent gold Greek Key trim.

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Bradley Beal just got his ass put into "health and safety" protocols because of exposure to Covid. So far this apparently means he's going to be tested repeatedly for the next couple of weeks. No word on if this means anything to anyone else on Team USA or any of their recent opponents.
