Bryant was on my list of possibilities. Oh well...

All the guys on my list are still out there! They'll start dropping like flies tomorrow night, right?

(Of course my list isn't exhaustive and I actually only like a few of the names on it anyway).

I’d sign Landale from your list and Sochan from mine. Landale would be the priority because he can rebound and shoot. Sochan would be for depth as an updated version of Vanderbilt.

I don't get the Ja Moron trade. Now they have all of Dame, Scoot and Moron?? For why?

What makes you think Portland is done making deals? Either Scoot or Dame will be shipped somewhere. Or maybe Morant is headed somewhere else. Are they pursuing Anthony Davis? Jaylen Brown?

Just in case anyone is wondering about these last two posts, the following story just broke:

BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN.

Champagnie’s agents, Nick Blatchford and Derek Jackson, put the final touches on a deal with San Antonio executives with a unique structure that gets him paid early -- rewarded $42M in new money -- and provides the Spurs some flexibility.

An integral agreement for the 6-foot-7 forward who has provided floor-spacing and leadership around Victor Wembanyama and the team’s talented guards.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are picking up forward Lu Dort's $17.7 million team option for the 2026-27 season, sources tell ESPN.

Just in: Free agent guard Landry Shamet intends to sign a new four-year, $24 million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Shamet's agent, George S. Langberg of GSL Sports Group, worked with Knicks executives on Monday to land the long-term commitment.

The Atlanta Hawks are declining Jonathan Kuminga's $24.3 million team option, making him a free agent, sources tell ESPN.

Los Angeles Clippers are picking up the $9.2M team option on Brook Lopez for the 2026-27 season, league sources tell me.

I didn't think they had the money for this!?
