Blazers pick, pick swaps in 22, 24, and 26, first rounders starting in 27, and second rounders scattered here and there.

People will focus on the second half of the tweet rather than taking it holistically.

Under GarPax I also would have viewed it as spending everything on KAT and then having nothing left. This FO has show plenty of creativity.

Their pythagorean W-L was 97-65, so they actually underachieve according to math.

Time for the annual ridiculous "get more stars to Chicago proposal": Pat, Coby, DJJ, and Brown + whatever draft capital we have left for picks. Hope T-Wolves are willing to look past Coby and Pat's injuries. Draft assets are basically fucked for a while, cap space is fucked. Re-sign Stanley Johnson. Roll with this: Lonzo - Zach - DDR - KAT - Vuc Caruso - Ayo - Javonte - Johnson - Bradley

I didn't say they'd win the games with Yermin playing second. Just they would win some games.

Unpopular opinion, but if Yermin played second base we would have won some games.

Posey probably taking home hundreds of millions and wanted to spend time with his four kids.

Rodon's definitely rejecting so he can secure the bag this offseason, unless his shoulder is well and truly fucked and it'll show up in team medicals.

You forget that Tray hates Vaughn with a firey, white hot passion of 1,000 suns.

Ok, fine. He's glumly cashing checks.

This is just one profile, but I remember when the Bulls drafted Jimmy the report on him was that he wasn't athletic. He was basically a good defender, could draw fouls, and he got slapped with the dreaded tweener label. https://www.espn.com/blog/boston/celtics/post/_/id/4685044/draft-profile-jimmy-butler Adding DraftExpress as well: https://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jimmy-Butler-6315/ Not saying Ayo is gonna be Jimmy, but I feel like you'd be hard pressed to find someone say Jimmy isn't athletic. It feels like the athletic label only gets applied to speed demons or guys who have springs in their legs, when so much more goes into athleticism.

Pax is sitting here grinning as he listens to jeers of "GarPax sucked ass" on the radio while he walks past AK in the Advocate Center and cashes "special advisor" checks.

Hollinger basically trashed it as the worst signing of the offseason. This tweet aged well:

The only non-AKME players on the roster are Zach and Coby. Crazy turnaround time.

This should be universally agreed on, but will not be.

I'm loving the Ayo pick more and more.

Clearly, it's cause Jeff Tanaka was there:

Woke people from 30 years ago: And the National Congress of American Indians:

My guess is they try to sign him to a bargain extension.

Re: P-Will, anyone think Harry Giles might be worth a flier? Talent has always been there, he's just had but injuries have hampered him, so he'd be a low risk.

He was President of Basketball Ops as well. Thibs should only coach.

I retract my earlier statement upon further review and admit my biases were similar to old school dudes who get wowed by flash plays.

Yes, because we clearly haven't negotiated with Boras clients in recent years.
