Bitch please, for a 4 year span every single one of my top picks were out injured 2014 #2 - Jabari Parker - played one full season in 4 years, two ACLs 2014 #3 - Joel Embiid - played 31 games in first 3 years 2014 #4 - Dante Exum - (now traded) not played full season since rookie year 2016 #1 - Ben Simmons - missed first season Having Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid on the same team must be tough. I'm so sorry. 😂😂 To be honest it actually made my rebuild stronger! If I had a healthy Embiid those 4 years, there's no way I pick up other dudes like Jaylen Brown along the way,

Queue the AD trade watch: fires his longtime agent today, and Rich Paul (aka LeBron, Ben Simmons agent) is in the lead to sign him.

But let's face it he's going to LA He’d be the ultimate sidekick for LBJ, but I think more likely is NYK or another big market team with a young star to pair with him. But the agent firing has now become the first tell tale sign for superstar players that a trade request is coming

Kyrie Jaylen Taytum Davis Horford I’m assuming the trade would be Hayward, the 2019 Kings pick,and maybe Terry Rozier?

I once met Thibs in a bar in Chicago. I am now his third-string point guard.

The Timber Washed Ups is more like it. I can't wait for Towns to leave that dumb ass team.

The worst part is the obvious biases towards former players that are CLEARLY done and not even worth a roster spot. There is absolutely 0 upside to the Deng signing, none.

I’m waiting for the Joakim buyout from NYK to then sign with the Timberwolves, and Thibs can roll out the entire lineup from his old teams
And I am betting both Towns and Wiggins are gone after this season— Towns after forcing himself out and Wiggins who isn’t a $30 MM a year player you can win with

I get the feeling that TWolves ownership saw some of Thibs past successes and went with the reasoning that they should let him take the reins as GM and do his stuff as well. But imagine if you're Towns right now - I'd be pretty bemused and wondering where my career is heading.

Good luck with that spacing Sixers. Fultz for Tatum and a pick might end up being a bigger heist than the brooklyn trade haha

If Andre Drummond can learn to do FT than Fultz can re-learn to shoot 3s. There are plenty of players that come into the league without a shot that developed into good/great shooters. Fultz already has a leg up on them because he's shown it before pre-injury.

Is Michael Jordan the kinda GM who only really knows the established veteran players? Kinda reminds me of our only Hall of Shame inductee!

Sometimes when a couple's relationship is on the rocks they decide to invest in having a baby together in the hopes it will rekindle their former joys
