Laughably bad business by the Mavs. They better hope they get a top 3 pick this draft through tanking.

Wtf!?!? I wanted him. Why t.f. do the Thunder need him?

Sneaky great move in my opinion.

I do not see why they need Shai, Jared, Jalen, Caruso, Cason, Nikola, AJ.

OKC probably has 35 draft picks so I guess why not spend them on a guy that can play now? That's a pretty nice haul for the Sixers.

76ers need a ball handler like McCain. They onky have Maxey. VJ ain't that.

Just in: The Chicago Bulls are trading Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. to the Charlotte Hornets for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

Bill Simmons came out hard touting his Trade Index list. I know he's not really a knowledgeable basketball guy, but he still has a hefty following. Anyway, he had Jaden McDaniels ranked #65 in the NBA.

One spot ahead of Rudy Gobert... one spot behind Garland, two behind Lu Dort and a few spots behind KAT, Embiid and Davis.


[Note: Heck, Julius Randle is ranked #46. LOL.]

Gobert is a multi time dpoy. About to win another. Garland is a former all star. Ranks sound about right. I would have julius further down the ranks closer to those three.

And whoever said Bill doesn't know the nba, is a casual.


If there are 30 teams and each had two good players that is 60 ranks. For context. So nothing about Jadens or Julius' ranks are whack

Simmons is knowledgeable about the game but in a certain way. He isn't a guy that his strength is hot takes he has usually been better with looking at how teams play and looking back at teams (especially historically) and how they were put together. Imo he gets asked or willing to do things that aren't really his strength. I don't pay much attention to him anymore but to be fair I don't spend a whole lot of time on analysis because a lot of it I don't feel like I get a whole lot of actual worthwhile info from. I would put a decent chunk of money on McDaniels having more trade value than Garland but whatever.

The Thunder can literally do whatever they want to do. If they wanted Giannis all they would have to do is make the call and outbid everyone else. They own the league right now.
