[quote]i legitimately don't think this guy is mac, he more so seems like a fanboy pretending to be him[/quote] It doesn't really matter. If it is and he admitted it, we've seen how that goes, every post he made would attract haters and be derailed. If it isn't and this is one of the weirder tro...
[quote]Not sure Butler even makes any sense at all for us.[/quote] He really doesn't. If Miami doesn't want to pay him, why should the Pels want to? Also, it seems like he and Zion would have the same conflicting "who's really #1" issue. I wouldn't even want Jimmy for free. Him calling soft p...
There are 2 kinds of teams that would value Ingram more than Murray, and neither type is focused on money. The near contenders that are already "In for a penny, in for a pound", and the rebuilding teams that are tired of rebuilding and want to accelerate. Fortunately there appear to be multiple o...
[quote]I like Hawk, but I would not compare him to Ant at all when it comes to the "it" factor. They are on much different levels.[/quote] I wasn't trying to imply that, nor am I saying Hawkins is a future superstar. I was saying that between his shot making skills and his IT factor, I think he ...
Even though Dyson can hold his own against bigs on switches, him being a permanent backup big should not be plan A. And I say that as someone that can see him bulking up long term and being a small ball 5. But that's in small doses. He's an elite wing defender, using him against back up bigs regu...
[quote]I'm just 99% sure that we aren't trading Herb.[/quote] One factor that was not in place at the trade deadline are the 2nd apron teams looking to shed salary. Hopefully they can find an alternative path. Also, I'm not sure how this will impact BI's trade value or the Pels decision maki...
While humans will no doubt use AI to create fake news, AI can also help us figure out what is real. Many that fall for fake news do so because they’re so lazy that they react to headlines and sound bites. That isn’t even the Cliff’s Notes of the news. Imagine your news being rewritten by an AI n...
[quote]Murray/Herb backcourt is better than Murray/CJ by a lot. I’m not trading Herb. I’m not trading Herb.[/quote] I hear you and I hope they can find a better way. I think Atlanta doesn’t want to take a step back and would want a good starter to take Murray’s place. Maybe you bring in a 4th te...
[quote]BI is worth more than Murray,[/quote] Even with BI at $50 and Murray at $25-$30? Money is a big part of the equation and probably a big part of why it looks like they aren’t going to try and kick the can down the road again. Also, Murray has an All star season and was 2nd in MIP voting ...

[quote]Listen to that Rogan program, there has been extensive underwater exploration and all evidence discovered points to hunter gatherer settlements and nothing ‘advanced’[/quote] They both seemed too close minded on the issue. We can both be doing a good job of deciding where to look and stil...
On defense you have to hope that Zion’s late season improvements will be the new normal, if that’s true it’s not as bad as you think. Allen and Murray >>>> JV and CJ on defense Trey >= BI on defense. How you fill Herb’s spot is the question, but that spot no longer has to be a one man gang ...
And I prefer that one. But unless Atlanta decides to blow it up, none of the 3 teams will be looking for future assets as a primary return. I know people think they want to recoup what they some of what they sent out for Murray, but they were rumored to be insistent on Herb because if Murray goes ...
MM threw out this hypothetical, and as much as it will seem unacceptable to many for including Herb, I think this is probably where the realistic value is at for BI. [quote]Cavs Receive: Brandon Ingram Hawks Receive: Herb Jones, #21, and Caris LeVert Pels receive: Dejonte Murray, #10, and ...
[quote]that’s the fact we traded Anthony Davis for Dyson Daniels and a first round pick[/quote] I’ve always viewed the CJ trade as a 1st for CJ and a relatively even swap, at the time, of Hart for Nance. Dyson, Nance, a 1st, and BI. ...
Guillory and Lopez at best get bylines from Woj and Shams....
This could easily have been a prescheduled social media post, but I do find it a well timed coincidence that the Pels post a "Zion Loves Us And Is Our Leader" post on the same day rumors start spreading about BI not coming back.

[quote] He's likely be worth more at the trade deadline. That is a dangerous game we should not play with his injury history[/quote] Tell me a time that a team has waited when it was clear they needed to move a player and the deals got better? I believe it has happened a few times, but most...
He is not ever going to fit with Zion and the way Willie wants to play. If you keep him it’s in hopes of finding a better trade later and 90% of the time when a team does that they end up trading for the same or less than they could get now, not better. It’s a losing strategy. ...
Dejounte Murray would fit in a $28 million trade exception, the question is what do you need to give Atlanta for Murray....
