Not having Twitter right now sucks ass. Or I should say - it's working intermittently and only on desktop/mobile.

 

Yeah, I agree with that. But I do think Bridges is being a little overhyped. I think we need to see more before we can say his time in Brooklyn wasn't a "good stats bad team" situation. But I do like him overall.

 

Bridges was pretty good in Phoenix too lol

 

I know he was good in Phoenix too but once he got to Brooklyn people's perception of him skyrocketed. And he may stay that good, we'll see. But I don't think he's good enough to be your 2nd best player as a contender.

 

And after what Brooklyn just went thru, trading a bunch of assets for a disgruntled star that wants to be elsewhere just sounds like a bad idea.

 

I don’t think Dame going to Miami immediately makes them the team to beat. They just lost Strus and Gabe. In a deal with Portland, they probably lose Herro, Martin and who knows what else

 

Yeah I think they'd be top 3, but not the faves.

 

I just don't get it for Brooklyn lol

They tried to be super aggressive and it backfired. They were able to recoup some assets and actually have a pretty good setup to build a good team. But they have a good amount of work to do right now. Trading for an aging star who makes a fuck ton of money doesn't feel smart. Just be patient and build up the squad. Keep the assets to make your splash when the roster is more ready for a move like that.

And I know they probably worry about Houston having their picks but they can be decent enough that those picks won't be anything too good for Rockets. And a move for Dame probably makes the much later picks even better for Houston.

 

They also have a top 2 NBA coach

 

He’s not going to San Antonio lol

 

this would be a fun running count lol

 

Dame and Kawhi on the Clippers will somehow lead to the most disappointing season yet

 

your team isn't good enough to be a contender if dame is your best player and bridges is your second best but bridges can absolutely be the second best player on a title team

 

I love this time of year man

 

ah, well that makes sense

(come let us down in LA, Damian)

 

if he wants to go to miami, it'll be miami, but this is much much better than anything they can offer portland

 

Wasn't Harris sent to the Pistons?

 

Joe Harris already got traded but also… idk that really stinks lol

 

“The Heat are prepared to offer a package centered around Tyler Herro, with possibly Duncan Robinson and picks, sources say.”
LMAOOO

 

Herro is better than the players Brooklyn is supposedly offering

 

Idk why Portland would want him. You have Scoot, Sharpe and Simons. Maybe find a third team to take him and gather as many picks as you can

 

Move Simons or Herro in this situation
