Sounds like it, or at least that's the story everyone is running with now.

Can't wait for those classic traditional UCLA/Rutgers games.

What the heck is Oregon going to do? Play in an even weaker conference and still find a way to lose a game every year?

But we do lol. Every team needs 3andD players. We don't have any now

Agreed. And not many of them out there for 9mil. Never been crazy about Royce but replacing what he did is not nearly as simple as some think. Has to be a lot more going on for this to be the first move.

Can I be the one who starts the dumb conspiracies? Durant to team X, Don to BKN, team X sends us a bunch of stuff to rebuild.

On this "dumb" conspiracy topic....The Nets future draft capital is being sent to HOU. They don't have the incentive to tank on their own. They could always tank anyways, but they also just traded a first rounder for Royce signaling that they are trying to stay competitive to some degree. Their owner is newish, and I doubt he wants to start all over and just start stinking again. They never really started to win even with KD and Kyrie. A boatload of picks might not be as appetizing as the chance to stay in the playoff conversation and hold some relevancy. Mitchell could be in play here, but also Gobert. I felt as though the main thing keeping Gobert from BKN was that Durant does not like Gobert and Durant was helping make the decisions there.

Having said that, that's still very far out there as far as theories go. But I do think the Jazz acquire the first to trade it....not to use it and draft with it later. I think Collins is heavily in play here. Bogey + 1st meets the description of ATL has been reportedly asking for.

I too will be surprised if we dont use the pick as part of another trade.

Greatest ever: I guess Carlsen, with Kasparov and Lasker also in the running.

Capablanca: ten years without a loss (although, WWI was a factor there).

You have to wonder how good Morphy/Steinitz/Lasker/Capablanca/Fischer/Kasparov would have been with modern computers to help them prepare. It's probably a bigger advantage than modern NBA players have over the ones in the '60s.

Underrated favorite of mine: Petrosian. Also a big Tal fan.
