A podcast guy says Shams says this is part of going all in for Giannis...
Although this could make a Julius for Harden straight up work, I think.
I don't believe Ant and Harden can coexist. There is only one ball.

My condolences FNG!
Ha, I'm okay! But I won't be if this is the precursor to a Giannis deal. Don't want to lose Jaden, and I don't think I'm ready for Leonard in the starting lineup while Giannis is out. And I'm one of Leonard's biggest supporters here!

For some reason... I'm kinda surprised by THIS trade of Conley.
Now I feel bad for mocking Conley's play lately.
For as little as we really know about these players... seemed like a decent guy. And I remember enjoying his game all the way back to OSU.
[Note: It'll be amusing to think that there's at least a chance I'll have to go from rooting for Conley to rooting for a guy I absolutely hate in James Harden. Yuck... but that's the funny part of sports. It's just laundry, right?]

No need to feel bad at all...your credentials as someone who admired the way Mike played the game are well-established. And we couldn't ignore what happened to his shooting this season.
I also would have to hold my nose to cheer for Harden. But I do think a starting five of Rudy/Naz/Jaden/Ant/Harden would be unguardable.

Yossi Gozlan says the Wolves now have the non tax MLE. That is important now because players can be traded into the MLE. If this doesn't end up a Giannis precursor they could just take on Coby White or someone up to the MLE (14.1M?)

Could you imagine the wars between Giannis and Joker in a playoff series? That would be a huge lift to the league.

Either we’re waiting to see if Slo-Mo gets bought out or Johnny Juzang just earned a standard deal

Hmm.. I do believe a NAZ for Derrick White is pretty dang close to working!

Boston just got Vucevic so that dream died suddenly
