You’re telling me. I live in Bend, Oregon and am blacked out for the Blazers, Warriors, and Kings. LP with a VPN has worked well most years but hasn’t worked as consistently the last two years.

This is our guy. A Samoyed. He’s awesome, and so much fur. So much fur…

I’m a psychologist. Believe me, mental health is front and center here.

Appreciate the genuine question. Imagine if someone came along and said: okay, as a basketball fan you’re either a Celtics fan or a Lakers fan. Which one are you? Sure, those are the most well known choices, but there’s a whole league of different options out there to explore!

I think: Denver - slightly worse (championship hangover) Memphis - worse Sacramento - worse (because they played better than their talent last year) Phoenix - about the same (injuries/ lack of chemistry Clippers - strangely, I think they do better this year Golden State - about the same...

PJ Washington?

If they got Dame they should look for another playoff tested guy. Guys who have mentioned in trade talks include Harden, Lavine, Siakam, OG, and P George but based on their teams’ free agency none of those teams are looking to rebuild and the Jazz don’t have any win-now trade pieces. They...

This isn’t my understanding. My takeaway, and what WOJ said on ESPN, was that they wanted a return that reflected a superstar-level trade. WOJ went on to say that might include immediate cap relief, young players, and draft assets. I think their statements are conveying they don’t plan to just...

Does this impact our ability to trade him?

I hear the 76ers already put it out there that they won’t consider trading Maxey for Dame. https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/272306/Sixers-Have-No-Interest-In-Trading-Tyrese-Maxey-Even-For-Damian-Lillard

I imagine only DL would sign him.

What makes everyone think Reeves would have entertained an offer from Utah? You are forgetting there are two sides to this equation. This young man gets to play for one of the most storied franchises in NBA history, next to one of the greatest players to ever play the game, in one of the world’s...

Yeah, to be clear I don’t think there is any chance they’ll actually back out. Just a mental exercise of wondering if they could. I’m guessing they made that contract offer already knowing Dame was likely asking for a trade.

I don’t know. I can think of a few players who have backed out of verbal agreements (Deandre Jordan, Marcus Morris). If they’re not binding for the players I don’t see how they would be for the team.

That might explain why they haven’t used much of their cap space yet. Spurs could put together a much better offer than the Heat and would be must watch basketball, but I have a bit of a hard time seeing them as immediate contenders.

We have a better offer than Miami, that’s for sure. I’m sure Portland would rather have some combo of Ochai, Kessler, Hendricks, George, Sensabaugh, THT, expiring, and 3+ future firsts. All Miami can offer is two firsts and Herro plus filler. That said I agree the Jazz don’t have enough...

Not sure this is true. This is the “moratorium” period. To my knowledge no deal can be officially offered until July 6th. This week is a negotiating period. It would look really bad for them as an organization, but I don’t think they are legally committed to anything. I also wonder if this news...

I know he will almost certainly end up in Miami, but it is interesting to think about what other teams could be good fits with better offers. Toronto is interesting if they kept their vets (OG, Siakam) and did a trade bully around Barnes. Would the Warriors trade Chris Paul and Moody and/or...

I disagree. I think it matters a lot. Raptors had the option of going small, but their main lineup was actually very big. The only team I can think of that won a title with a legit small backcourt was the bad boy pistons.

Except didn’t Danny Green start next to Lowry? I think FVV came off the bench.
