Or the Jazz say "**** it" and blow it up.

Windy was basically dancing around that possibility on TV (while the other people were fking clueless btw lol). The Royce trade signaled something. I think it’s more likely that pick is used in a John Collins type trade….but we won’t know until it happens or the Durant situation gets resolved. Anything is on the table.

How do we get one of these jobs where we're supposed to be experts? I ****ed up, I should've gone into broadcasting.

You would need to have Lebron be yo HS buddy or be an ex player…lol.

We should have been Simmons doe… that was his original appeal… now he’s just annoying.

It's crazy to say the hinge point of the offseason might be Royce O'Neale, but it seems strangely possible to me. I could see them coming into yesterday feeling like if they could parlay Royce and some other non Don/Rudy players into a John Collins then they would, and/or sign some okay wings off the scrap heap then they retool, but are also prepared to nuke it if those scenarios don't come to fruition.

Well, so far, they haven't.

Go listen to hoop collective this AM. Windy knows something and McMahon knows he knows and tried to push him to put it out there… then Tim mentioned Rudy to Minny… think that’s a blow it up scenario.

I used to really enjoy Simmons. But his takes now are just... is he just getting old or does he just not pay any attention anymore?

I think it was them looking at the win now packages for Rudy and saying… meh… this ain’t gonna work. Also not getting something different but win now for Mike… so they finally faced the facts.

He’s not paying as much attention. He does a lot and I get it… but he falls back into his old Boston homer stuff too much for a national media guy.

It would be, we are not getting anything of value from Minny besides future picks. No one there I would want, and definitely no one who would be a win-now piece in exchange for Rudy.

If we go this route I hope we see another move for Don to just literally tear it all down and start over, accelerate the rebuild with loads of picks and young prospects.

I couldn't believe it. Windy was dying for one of those 3 people to say, "THEY GONNA TANK!?!" and the best they could come up with is...."open up space to try and land Kevin?".

O'Neale definitely signaled something. Before that trade it was looking like we might just sit pat, but I think we're onto something much bigger. Lot's of things that wouldn't surprise me. Don could go to BKN, Rudy could go to BKN....The Nets are going to get a lot of stuff from the Suns+Laers(or whoever) after they trade KD and Kyrie. I also think the Trent+OG package is more alive than ever with our lack of wing depth. So much is on the table.
