NBA was like, fuck it, usually 1 a year or so but Doncic thing was a bit too transparent so let’s get them all the out of they way this year.

No way - Mobley just got done laying an egg in playoffs.
Mobley, Garland, Hunter and maybe a couple of picks to Bucks.

In combination with the Mav/Laker trade abomination the gift to Mavs along with the ongoing Spurs gifts are just startling.

In my heart I feel like Giannis wants NY —- whether he asks for a trade here probably depends on how we & Kat perform rest of the way.
Giannis only turns 31 late this year —- it’s plausible he could go another 8-10 years.
I think Im in the minority and feel Giannis's best years are behind him, and KAT's are still in front of him

NBA has been doing this garbage for 40 years since the lottery first started. The snobs in the media just wanted to pretend it was all a coincidence.
Two trades I'm thinking about:
Holiday, KP, and Brown for Durant, Beal, and O'Neal
It doesn't do much to help either teams luxury tax problems but I don't think either team wants to rebuild, they prefer to reboot. I think Beal holds more value in Boston because of his connection with Tatum. Boston will still need to figure out a center but they can try to move one of Oneale or Hauser to get it done. . Suns add defense while Boston adds offense. Boston can try to convince twilight KD to take less than the max to compete for Rings. Boston gets off of Holiday's contract, while Suns get off of Beals.
Maxey, Oubre, No. 3 pick for Giannis
Between McClain and Grimes, Philly is good enough in the backcourt. You double down on the potential for Embiid, George, and Giannis to be healthy for one off season. Heck, maybe you rest them all season and get in as a play in team. It's easy in the East. Milwaukee gets a young All Star and a top pick. They will have issues with Lillard's deal, but maybe there's a way to send him out next summer.

I dont believe it was as egregious as its been lately.

Gianni's game is all athleticism, whereas KAT is more skill based. Theoretically, KAT should continue playing on a high level for a longer time,while increasing his skill. Giannis should see a drop off in his game sooner, as the athletic ability declines

Yeah but Giannis plays more consistent and hungry vs KAT. 75% of Giannis athleticism is close to OG's current athleticism so drop off shouldn't be too bad. My hope for Giannis is he improves his outside shooting as he ages and slows down

I get the feeling that Giannis would step on Brunson's game and vice versa. Giannis has the highest usage rate in the league, and he doesnt shoot the 3.
Im not opposed to trading KAT. Brunson is about the only untouchable player. Cant improve on most clutch. But not for Giannis.
Randle off to a good start in game 1 vs OKC.
Randle vs Hartenstein making me feel the feelings
Julius with some lucky threes. The one he missed was the true Randle.

He was up to this point in his career. The change of scenery was just what Randle needed. Amirite?

He scored zero points in the playoffs last year. Who does that?

Randle is gone and isnt coming back until he's an aging role player. Sorry dude.
We might be able to get DDV back, the way things are shaking out.
