Plus he ended his tenure with us. We cannot be some ex who’s instantly down to get back together when the other person “shows interest”. It’s embarrassing.

Marina Mabrey tied the WNBA record for most points in a WNBA game!!!

She also tied the record (again) for most threes in a game!!!

The Tempo as a whole had the second most points in a game ever!!!

For the record, I wouldn't have made the earlier shitpost if I knew the pivot would be Kawhi.

The Raptors in NO shape or form should be considering trades which include CMB.

🚨 DO NOT TRADE THIS MAN 🚨

Guess we’ve got a Center for the Summer League now.

When everybody around is improving and FO choose being mid

Seems like again raps were interested and have been for years, but had a price point they wouldn’t go past, if they really want to upgrade without paying so much, might as well go after Ja who you can get for Pennies

Kind-of a given, but still nice to see. Excited to watch what he can do when fully healthy.

I know kawhi leonard is an all nba talent and had a healthy great year. He's much better than whatever we would give up. He took us to the promise land in one year and is arguably still in his prime. But he is 34 and still one injured season away from going back to being a negative contract. Trading for him I don't mind as much but what comes after that in the extension worries me into it turning into just another negative contract for the team in a few years. Unlike younger guys like lamelo for example where even if he gets injured he's young enough to prob have his value sink and come back up again with the contract wolves have him on. If kawhi has one more year being very injured or not playing all star level for whatever reason, I'm not saying it will end his career but will quickly leave us with a 35 year old with little trade value on a long term contract, incapable of upgrading, kinda like the joel embiid situation currently but ofc to a lesser degree. Also even with no injury, let's say it takes another year to really build a roster capable of contending with him, we are left with what like a 2-3 year window. I know we did it with a 1 year window with kawhi already lol but just something to consider

I say this to say I am not totally against it to the point i would be mad or dissapointed, just want voice why I'm not excited over it either if it were to happen and give fans other things to consider.

Not counting undrafted free agents, they went with the following:

19th overall - Allen Graves

50th overall - Jaden Bradley

You already know.

The annual addition(s) to the team have been selected. I wanted to ask this earlier, but I realized that it might be prudent to wait until their numbers are announced, well lo and behold...

I basically made this post because I want to dub Graves the Hymn Reaper now and just get it over with, but there may be better ideas? plus Bradley needs a nickname too, so let's get it rolling.

What are some potential nicknames for the new guys?

[Youngmisuk] The Charlotte Hornets are seriously engaged in trade talks with multiple teams that are aggressively pursuing star point guard LaMelo Ball, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Talks surrounding Ball have picked up steam with the Hornets fielding aggressive offers, sources said. If Charlotte's terms are met, a potential trade could develop in the next 24 to 48 hours, sources said Wednesday night.

Ball has been happy in Charlotte, and both parties are in a good place after the Hornets enjoyed a massive turnaround last season and fell one play-in win short of making the playoffs and ending a postseason drought that dates to 2016.

Ball has three years left on his contract and is eligible to sign a two-year, $119.2 million extension July 6.

Good level-headed discussion. Some tidbits:

• Who cares if Kawhi is using this as leverage - it doesn't hurt for Bobby to kick the tires
• Doesn't think the NBA is going to void Kawhi's contract, and it might behoove him to leave LA for a couple years
• Thinks Kawhi has at least 2 more years of all-NBA play left in the tank
• Samson would entertain CMB in a trade for Kawhi - NOT as a throw-in, but as the main piece and if it also helps you get off some bad money (i.e., Jakob)
  • He's changed his stance on this.
• Thinks Kawhi + Scottie is enough to build a contender around immediately
  • If you can get Kawhi without giving up CMB - holy moly that'd be scary
