Rudy Gobert trade absolutely inflated the trade market

Everybody cant be Danny ainge or dumb as minny

People use to hate the Grizz on here because of me.

Now, people just hate them in general

Crazy how Ja went from being a media darling to a public heel within the span of 2-3 months. Makes me wonder, if He's the brains of the entire Grizzles personality, or if he's simply a product of it from something/someone else.

TBH - before the playoffs last year, the public perception was the Grizz being a young, hip team.

It all went downhill for several reasons:
1) Dillon injuring GP
2) all the talking between MEM/GSW (Bay area fans were on another level on Twitter during that series )
3) the Ja interviews earlier this year + incidents made matters worse

Now, we went from being the young, hip squad to one of the most hated. I think the underdog nature of the team last season kept them out of harms way too. This season? They are still a threat, talking even more and the national media getting more involved on the hate train

I'd also add the following:

- Dillon Brooks getting into it with Donovon Mitchell
- Grizz getting into with a celebrity fan
- Grizz losing 8 out of the last 10 games

I wouldn’t say people hate the Grizz. They just find them very annoying.

They were never good enough to be hated.

dawg he wanted leave after YEAR 1?!?

Bruh imagine doing all that to get KD there with him to only want to be out as soon as it started.

Buyout market is gonna be fascinating.

What is up with john wall? Is he seriously injured? Clips finna buy him out even though they need a backup pg

 

[Armada]

Hawks need to inquire about Bridges and Johnson

 

[sohi 23]

In terms of supposedly available players:

Bridges > OG > Johnson > DFS/TrentJr

I have no idea what any of these players are worth. when People say 2 or 3 first rounders I’m not even sure what that means. Unprotected picks vs protected picks are a huge difference.

MAGA but can shoot

Bridges stays.
Toronto NEEDS to cash out on OG.

 

[datznasty]

Nobody gonna call okc on Bazley? A hyper athletic 6’9 switchable defender who can even also rim protect that okc don’t want anyways. I guarantee you a trash 2nd rd pick will get it done

 

[airmax1fanatic]

CP3 out, Kyrie in for the Suns? Would they be willing to risk the KD-Kyrie drama again?

 

[sohi 23]

Why would Dallas agree to a sign and trade w/ Kyrie going to the Suns for Chris Paul?

Not better than moose. Also didn’t he play here before? Must be an ending contract but ion like it. Moose was the team old head and wanted to be here.

He’s been dealing with an abdominal strain for about two weeks now, but is expected to be ready to play again soon.

Guess the franchise doesn’t see him as a good fit and, rather than just keeping him around but out of the rotation, wants to give him a chance to go somewhere else where he might play more.
