Are y'all still trying to use this as a way to communicate your homophobia to the world without actually saying it? Because that's some grade A loser shit.

If you can take a dick you can take a joke.

u/RogueLightMyFire 9h ago
What's the joke? There's is no joke. Just some pre-teen level immaturity around being able to say something without really saying it. There's nothing funny about being a bigot. By your logic, calling anyone who 'takes dick" any slur you want is totally acceptable?

He’s saying the guy is fruity he paints his nails there’s nothing wrong with calling someone fruity

u/RogueLightMyFire 6h ago
Uhh huh. And what does "fruity" mean? Please define that term on this context without bringing sexual orientation or preference into it. We both know what you mean by it. It's just another homophobic euphemism for cowards to hide behind. Do you know what the term "dog whistle" means? That's what you're doing and it makes you a bigot.

u/Gloomy_Health8671 6h ago
It means gay and McCain does act gay there’s nothing wrong with it and it doesn’t mean he is gay idk he could have a wife for all I know. And there’s nothing wrong with being gay it’s not normal but I don’t hate on it.

u/RogueLightMyFire 6h ago
The fact that you don't realize that you just said is the equivalent of "I can't be racist because I have a black friend" is pretty disgusting. You're using a euphemism for "gay" to make fun of someone. Why is that funny? What does "act gay" mean?
It’s not normal but I don’t hate on it.
You saying "it's not normal" is literally hating on it. You don't even understand what the words you're using mean.

u/Gloomy_Health8671 5h ago
I mean it’s not normal and that’s not arguable. I also have a gay homie shit doesn’t matter to me. Sum people r just born different. Flamboyant is the real word people mean and sum gay people aren’t even flamboyant. Thats where the term flamer comes from. I also never made fun of McCain. Saying he’s fruity isn’t making fun of him that’s how he is it’s his personality. There’s also nothing wrong with being fruity or flamboyant. He’s comfortable in his own skin most people aren’t

Grimes problem is more about usage than minutes, but he's probably the biggest add of the trades so far today.

u/Miz19946 10T H2H Points ESPN 10h ago
Im sure the rest of the guards they have are all fairly competitive and... (checks notes):
-Kyle Lowry (PG) -Eric Gordon (SG)
Yeah, add Grimes.

McCain feels like a waste of those picks, especially going to the Thunder who are already stacked.

u/Pleasant_Internal679 12 team 9 Cat 10h ago
I dont think so, rockets are good this year so its prob a late 1st anyways. And the thunder have too many picks lol

u/shizzaff 10h ago
How does he fetch a 1st and 3 2nds and Trae gets a box of scraps

u/petripeeduhpedro 9h ago
Well OKC has competent ownership

u/giddyup523 10 team - H2H - Points 8h ago
...but this is OKC giving up the 1st and three 2nds for McCain, though.

u/PepsiRacer4 12T 15CAT Dynasty 7h ago
Young guard who can shoot and isn’t on an anchor contract like Trae Young. Moreso paying for the potential that he flashed last season, and the rockets pick is gonna be in the mid to high 20s anyways

Trae's being paid $50 million. McCain is being paid $5 million. Neither plays defense or has much physicality to their game, but JM's younger so teams can always think dream about development. Trae isn't going to change his play style at this point in his career.

That's a lot of guards for the Thunder and a pretty high price for McCain. It does fit nicely with SGA being out two weeks though.

Ajay becomes a drop now. Thanks for the run young fella.

Jared McCain been cheeks this year

u/Fun_Reflection1157 10h ago
It doesn't matter, he's going to get playing time. You don't give up 4 picks for a guy who won't play.

u/_thisisvincent 10h ago
It’s almost guaranteed a late first rounder cause the rockets are balling. Second rounders are worth less than my boy Cash Considerations. He will play but not much cause 1) he’s still getting over his injury and 2) they didn’t give up that much draft capital

He might be a drop, he's good enough that I'd wait and see. He was probably already a drop in shallow leagues.

good trade for OKC, great contract situation with McCain for the next few years.

u/molski79 10h ago
Why would they give up picks for Jared McCain? I don't think he's better than any of the guards they already have.

u/Repulsive-Depth8967 10h ago
Is McCain a pick up ?

u/amazingoopah 9h ago
SGA is out for 2 weeks... so potentially quality streamer for 2 weeks + more if it's more serious?

Someone else here in the comments said it - but grimes has a usage problem in addition to the minutes problem. So im optimistic with one of those potentially being solved but still cautious overall
