Miserable means different things to different people. Some people would be miserable winning 48 games, getting a 6 or 7 seed, and losing in the first round and would prefer to win 20 games and get the 5th pick in the draft. I'd like to watch entertaining basketball, win total be damned. I just...

So we're trading Fox for late lottery picks and cap space. The deal we got sucked but I'm sorry that's unacceptable particularly knowing what cap space has gotten us in the past. Maybe we have cap space, offer 25 million to Kuminga and Dubs match it. Then what?

Because who are we taking back in a Fox deal? Zach Collins, Keldon Johnson and Tre Jones? May as well just fold the franchise.

Matt George (apparently, per reddit, I didn't see a post on bluesky, maybe he tweeted it I think the sub bans twitter posts) said it would only happen if other players were traded. I assume we won't be trading those guys to acquire Russ but as part of any Kuminga deal. So I will reserve...

I don't think the team is interested in Russ until after it gets rid of Monk or Carter. If both wind up going out for Kuminga it makes some sense though not a lot. I wish they weren't interested in him at all since we signed Schröder already.

Doesn't mention our draft at all. Which is fine, they're still trying to make moves and new GM who seemingly is interested in getting rid of 3-4 players so...

Yeah and if we were sitting on Devin Vassell right now... I am not defending the deal except to say I am pretty sure the other options were even worse.

Thanks @Mr. S£im Citrus

If we wanted to send Huerter out as well lord knows what we'd have to take back. Zach Collins and Kevin wash out, so again we are taking back Vassell and other garbage. Or we just ride the season out and who knows what happens if Fox gets hurt this offseason while we try to work a deal for a...

I wanted to buy back into the draft to draft Dunn but I was well aware of his offense. Makes you wonder if we invest in Cardwell at all can he give anything on that end. By the final summer league games he was at least getting stuff at the rim after looking like an instant TO early.

Every player San Antonio was offering is on as bad or worse contract than LaVine. Also we probably don't have Nique in this scenario (used 2027 SA draft pick to acquire his rights) unless we kept our own pick and used it on him, so no Noa Essengue/Carter Bryant. Don't love LaVine but he'll...

On draft day there were rumors (probably credible) that we were trading the pick for a big wing. Then when it was announced he was injured and wouldn't start, it doubled down on hate for drafting a guy that couldn't help us win right away. Then Brown gets fired and Fox demands out, so fans...

Tom Lehrer, Influential Satirist Whose Topical Songs Poked and Prodded America in the ’50s and ’60s, Dies at 97 Probably the funniest story ever is that 2 Chainz requested permission to sample his song The Ole Dope Peddler in 2012 and this was his response: "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old...

Oh I did know about that consent clause.

I didn't know that. Google AI (yeah, I know, I know) told me that if a player signed a 1+1 while on Bird rights they would lose them in a trade. Is that accurate?
