They still have to pay him don't they?

 

yeah. i guess it’s for the best, to give him time to recover without pressure of returning. just sucks to have that happened and get “fired” basically back to back

 

Ringer sold to Spotify.

 

saw that. very cool to not tell the union!

 

You mean, the one he refused to recognize or ever even say one word about?

 

and that his failson nephew bashed on soundcloud lol

 

Nephew Kyle gonna get those sweet nepotism money bags bruh

 

I remember rando journalists defending him like "just because his nephew thinks that way, doesn't mean he does!" as if he's some bastion of labor integrity lol

 

Love this pic

 

Management pretty quickly recognized the union did they not?

 

Simmons himself has not publicly recognized the union. it’s an extremely easy thing for him to do that would garner him a lot of goodwill, making it all the more odd he hasn’t done so. it’s not like he’s a reluctant tweeter.

 

Mahimi?

 

was the first name that came to my mind. could also see Turner

 

seen a ton of people say Tristan or Olynyk but idk how tf that works

 

turner wouldnt be bad at all actually

 

They have room for Thompson?

 

Morey swinging a wacky trade for Drummond would be fun

 

They could have taken Bol Bol from us for their next 10 1sts

 

They don’t have any assets for Turner, sounds like they just want a cheap back up so Tristan or Mahimi make sense. They should have just went for Dieng in the Minnesota trade.

 

what is the market for Turner honestly though

 

Not much and I don’t think they’re looking to trade him, especially now while his stock is pretty low. He’s a good defender who can shoot 3’s so he’s valuable for a lot of teams, but in a weird middle ground where they aren’t trying to sell him cheap but he’s not really like a foundational all star level player.

 

which is why his name came to mind as a pretty perfect rockets center haha. idk. i think he’s “getable” before tomorrow, for sure.
