It was weird. Butler was hyper efficient with 27 points on 11/15 and 6 assists but it was quiet and in the flow. He was surprisingly also -12. Eye test wouldn’t have resulted in -12; seemed solid and can’t remember him missing.Quote:

Saw some of that; nice to see Lillard bounce back. AD had a tummy ache and LBJ is out with an old man injury. Warmed my heart to see Westy (1/13) toss up bricks early in shot clock.Quote:

I think Dame arguing his point to a ref during the time out and all through the 1st to 2nd quarter break worked. Westbrook was awful.Attachment 391903
You have to call him by his full name. His coach did.Quote:

As much as I dislike Simmons and like Smart, I recognize that Simmons is not far away from being a top 10 player, which Smart never will be. But there's no way Brown gets traded for Simmons. Someone was floating that idea just to manufacture some news.Quote:

Danno, pretty much agree with all of that. Simmons is such a hard no for everyone because he is such a dumbass, however in the right situation he could be a game changer. Smart for Simmons would be scary if you ask me (if you could get him mentally right). I just love how vehemently people react to the possibility of having him on their team.
I'd rather have Jimmy Fucking Butler. But that ain't gonna happen.
nah, that's just the current "let's have a hot take" narrative. They have worked great together in the past, it's just new that they are the 2 fulcrums of the team, so they are trying to figure that out.Quote:

I have a better trade offer for the Celts for Brown...how about CJ and Simons for Brown and Pritchard?Quote:

Not specific but…
Boston, PDX and Philly… all need to change it up and do something because running it back again is just more of the same.
Of course I’m just a Warriors fan who listened to months of how we may not make the playoffs…………… and Klay isn’t even back yet.
For PDX I'll say I agree. I think Boston and Philly are not going to win anything as currently constructed, but the Bucks are not looking great and I thought they would have a much better record thus far...meaning, it's early.Quote:

No, not straight up. Just mean including Smart as a major piece. Smart + Williams would be intriguing, though Philly wouldn't want Williams so a 3rd team would need to be involved.Quote:
