See, I think some low level team will trade for him. Hoping Jayden Ivey is part of a potential deal if Detroit is the suitor. I don't want that poo cocktail of any variation of Bagley, Wiseman, Kevin Knox, and Killian Hayes. Hope we can get a first as well in this sort of deal.

This would probably be a poop haul, but it works and it's not bad. I'd love for a pick to be thrown in instead of Burks, but that makes the salaries match.

If it's not showing, it's Zach for Bojan, Ivey, and Burks.

Pistons now have lost 17 straight and are off to the worst start since the 2015-2016 Sixers who started 1-19

Please I don’t need to see the Celtics play the Knicks for the third time in 6-7 weeks. I’m with BZ! Go Knicks! Sorry for the thread title, boss!

I wonder if in future years, this tournament will develop the credibility of an FA cup or similar premier soccer league cup.

The courts are my big issue with the tournament. It's impossible to watch some of the games depending on which court its on it give sme a headache. But I think the tourny itself has been fun as its gone on. There was also a game with Shaq, Reggie and I think Kenny on commentary where they were baiting Reggie the whole time and I was just dying laughing.

Zion has no potential anymore in terms of guy who can win something as a teams first or second star. Honestly didn’t see that being his career path. He love food more than the game. He’s never gonna turn it around and lose weight or something, his potential is already maxed out. This is as good as he’s gonna get. You see real young stars like Haliburton and then you see this guy drag ass running up the court and man.

The Pels should trade this dude if he has any value at all. You don’t want to get stuck with players like Zion before they fall all the way off the cliff. He’s just Andrew Bynum with more talent. Nothing more than that.

This might be the hardest Build Your Own Team exercise I’ve seen yet. Ended up deciding on Bird, Jordan, Shaq, Kawhi and Tatum. I don’t love it but I fear the alternative of Isiah/Steph instead of Bird/Kawhi might leave me too small, even though the playmaking gets better. I find more and more that Shaq ends up being my centerpiece in these exercises even more so than Jordan/LeBron.

Lol, he actually has been fine this year, but I laughed at that stat line. He's still fine for a 2nd rounder. All you ask for is a rotation caliber player and Ayo brings that.
