ok bey to the hawks warriors stocking picks for somethjing bigger?? OG PLEASE

if this is just for cap relief im gonna cry

i dont understand this trade

two part question, why have the hawks been trying to trade john collins for years, and why can't they? is he like a low key horrendous locker room guy

this is all moving so fast but i liked the idea of the warriors having bey. but if the whole thing is a $100 million salary dump then i guess taking back any comparable salary kinda defeats the purpose

Why did the Warriors trade former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman for five second-round picks?

It saved them $131,000,000, per @johnhollinger.https://t.co/kzWpHu7d4T pic.twitter.com/NEPze5k6YB

no one knows

hes mostly just overpaid and is a stretch four in a world that wants big wings i think

the same reason the hawks wanna trade collins — he’s an expensive player who doesn’t really have a position — is exactly why teams are reluctant to trade for him. if he was making half as much money or whatever he would’ve been traded ages ago bcuz he is pretty good otherwise

why are the clippers like this

The Houston Rockets are finalizing deal to send Eric Gordon to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

kennard to memphis sounds pretty cool they really need shooters (the other kind of shooters, ja)

pretty funny the lakers were just defending trading bryant by saying they were gonna play their third string center then they trade for bamba an hour later

anyway lakers have done a good job of getting a bunch of guys while also clearing their locker room of two of the most annoying people

my head is spinning
