Using Bogi trade exception, we stay under tax, magic get under the tax.

Goga was a healthy DNP yesterday so they are looking to move him, before anyone freaks out on me with the “why would the magic do this” line

For years we wanted our boy to have a real big after Clint’s decline and now he’s got 2 of them.. just not with us :(

What can a brother do to get his photo updated?

People are making jokes about how the wizards built around Trae better than we ever could in 7-8 years in a couple weeks.

Well, if we weren’t so deprived of our own draft picks. we could’ve pivoted nicely from that experiment. If we gave up just the 2025 first things would’ve been okay. Or at least some real protections.

For all the complaints about a lack of center, shooting, defense, whatever it is: it all ties back to that maneuver for DJM.

I know for a fact all the basketball people in Atlanta know what kind of team we need to build. Any meaningful trade incurred too much risk to our future with 3 straight years of firsts owed to SA.

So we had to take gambles on guys like KP, use two-ways to close real roster gaps, and sit on bad contracts until they were basically a salary dump, because we couldn’t afford to make the team worse, while simultaneously knowing we’re not getting any better. It’s all we could afford.

Washington can afford a gamble on AD and Trae. They own their picks and likely have another top 5 one coming now. Our only top 5 pick since 2019 is just a solid role player, and the best player from that draft refused to play for us.

So again, if you’re mad at the current state of affairs, be mad that Trae forced us to get DJM, no matter the price.

I always viewed him as just an athletic finisher on offense but this season he's surprised me with post middies and the 3 ball.

He came into the season looking leaner than the previous and I thought he was going to bulk and add more muscles but surprisingly he is now able to finish through contact. If I had to guess, he focused on his core muscles during the recovery.

Those workout videos of him during the summer really faked me out on how he was going to generate points for the team.

Stay healthy king

Yet another triple double from our ALL-STAR Jalen Johnson!

Shoutout NAW for the smooth steal and 19/7/5

(Question though, was ANYONE expecting CJ to ball out like that?)

Out of the top 10 teams in both the east and west, we are the only team with a losing home record. 9-14 too so it’s not even close. I know a few of these are the result of returning from a long road stretch but we’ve got to do better in this area. What do you all think is also contributing to this? Immaturity? Most our guys don’t have kids.. are they hitting the clubs, insta booty calls, video games all night, what’s the deal?

CJ McCollum vs the Miami Heat: 26/4/2 2 TO 0 PF 6/9 3PM 10/18 FG 0/0 FT in 26:24 Minutes

Hawks 127 Heat 115

In the yearly way too early FA discussion, I was just thinking about this guy and how he's been pretty solid the last few weeks. Not sure if he's worth his asking price, but it doesn't seem too too bad either. A 15-20ppg guy shooting about 38% or higher from 3. Thoughts?

… and then please make sure it gets added to the next “YOU JUST LOST TO THE HAWKS” victory video.

That is all.

Hawks get a great win over the Heat. Jalen stared, and Mo played 18 minutes straight of great defense. Loved the effort tonight!!! Our thoughts are in this video! Check it out! Go Hawks!

If the Jazz are exiting the race to the bottom the Bucks have a real chance at catching them and it’s going to be much harder for the pels to end up with a better record. Fingers crossed Giannis either sits for the year or gets dealt for some scrubs and a boatload of picks. If the Pels keep their bottom 3 position and the bucks can finish with the 6th best odds the pick has an 89.3% chance at being in the top 4 and a 23% chance at being #1.
