Why would Nets want a bunch of decent players instead of Brown? Not a chance.

Well, technically it’s 3 firsts. That’s just how it comes out on that machine. The 2023 picks are one pick (our pick with swap rights).

If they more interested in picks. I’d prefer Brown as well but you don’t know their motivation.

They have been open about wanting to remain a contender. They do not have control over their own picks for 5-6 years as a result of the Harden trade, so tanking makes no sense to them. They would clearly value quality players more than just multiple draft picks.

Darn, I was hoping he would come to camp with us in hopes of him signing with the Squadron.

His video on Zion is very good too. Needs a lot more views.

Great breakdown on Ingram. I love watching him create his mid-range attempts; it's an art form!

That video is more about media reporting around Zion than Zion himself. And we had our own resident PR peanut gallery pushing all the same nonsense illustrated in that video. As usual.

Thank god that seems to be over with.

He also has a great video on Herb from a while back.

Lebron signs a 1+1 for $49 million per season.

40% cap tied up in a 38/39 year old player... This is fine

Yeah, he's gonna fall off a cliff. This ain't the NFL, where Tom Brady can use his savvy (and HGH) to slide in the pocket and pick apart defenses. Lebron needs to do a lot of running a jumping. Mother nature is undefeated.

Well this ought to be interesting. Lol. Hey Westbrook meet your new teammate!

The Los Angeles Lakers are in advanced talks on a trade to acquire Utah Jazz guard Patrick Beverley for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson, sources tell ESPN. Deal could be finalized as soon as Thursday.

And even Brady is only okay until he gets cracked and flattened one good time. And that OL is hemorrhaging players.

LeBron’s continuance is totally unprecedented.

Wow Chet injured . Same injury as Zion?

Exams show Chet Holmgren has potential torn ligaments in his foot, sources said. A timetable is being determined based on further evaluations. https://t.co/vig5zWOSzz

I'm pretty sure they're going to mortgage the future even more to improve the roster. They can't sit pat and think they're done. The much talked about 27 and 29 first rounders are getting shipped....not that it matters if AD or Bron get injured, which they tend to do.

Indy might send them Buddy and Myles for Russ and some picks. I've heard (web rumors) that a lot of teams had offered to take Russ if he would accept a buyout, but Russ ain't budging.

Take away the next 5 years of draft picks for whichever team bails out the Lakers and takes Westbrook off their hands

I see Loomis made a shocking trade today with Saints. Does Griff show his power before the season starts too? Not talking about Westbrook.

Pels starting to get in the middle of some talks. Don’t feel like they have to get something done before camp but if an opportunity presents itself when they can get a bigger guard or a stretch big without having to give up draft capital, they will do it. If Graham had one less year on his deal, something would have probably already been done by now but most teams are asking for a first to take him on. Biggest obstacle to a deal being made

Good news.... griffin haven't hand out any bad FA contract
Bad news .... It's been an absolute bore of an off season.

Can’t think of any other teams that added an All NBA level player and a top 10 pick to last years roster. If someone just told you some team did that, it would sound pretty exciting

Anything to make of Zion not being at the players workout in California? His shoe was released at the same time, so commitments based on this or more of the same?

Is Graham and a future first (Mil pick) for Poetl possible? I would that trade.

On the bright side Karlo Matkovic is playing well with the croatian national team and they play tomorrow against Greece their first game at Eurobasket so it might be interesting to see him face Giannis to evaluate his ability to come over next year.

Today at 4.15 PM GMT or 11.15 AM EST in US....JV vs Luka in Eurobasket.

Group B is the one to watch for sure for the pool phase. Fournier&Gobert for France, F.Wagner and Schroeder for Germany, Sabonis and JV for Lithuania, Dragic and Doncic for Slovenia and even Nurkic for BIH.

Its certainly not good when the entire team (other than the non-USA guys) is practicing together, but Zion isn't there.

I don't think it is bad from a commitment perspective. I'm not going to read into it as Zion's not happy or doesn't care. Its just bad that he's missing out on bonding with his teammates on the court. We have three guys on our team who can score 20+ ppg. Someone is going to have to sacrifice. The sooner Zion/BI/CJ can play together, the sooner they can figure out their roles.

Would certainly hope they do not attach a 1st to get rid of Graham.

So they are trying to move Graham?

No. I personally saw something DeVante (I think it was him) posted that had everyone doing yoga and Zion wasn't there. I think Shamit or some other guy in the know mentioned Zion's absence too, irrespective of the yoga session. It is possible he was there and left early or got there late. Or maybe he was taking a dump when everyone else was doing yoga. I dunno.

No trolling here. This is true,

At the start of trade talks in July, New York offered Utah a Donovan Mitchell package including RJ Barrett, Obi Toppin, Mitchell Robinson and three unprotected first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Jazz turned down that offer and Robinson signed a $60M extension to stay w/ NY. https://t.co/3eDg2Mf7f1
