Pretty sure Chicago held some protections on the pick even when the spurs had it, no? Seemed unlikely to convey.

The Buddy contract also put the team in a tough spot with Bogi.

That tweet… sounds like a threat?

Suns don’t have their pick either!

Just tell Shams to tweet we agreed to this tonight!

Stupid CBA rule

Excited enough about this to finally reset my password and log in. Let’s go Card!

Decided on a whim to get some cheap tickets on StubHub and go see Kurtz debut (say what you will about Fisher and the A’s situation, but being able to do this in Sacramento is pretty cool).

Perry left the Knicks in2023, the Bridges trade was a year later
