Keep them in a game. Sure? Win a championship? NFW. No Durant, no chance.

Plus, let's see if Klay actually can come back after 2 major issues. 

They didn't draft Kuminga and Moody to play minutes during the playoffs. They have another move or two to make. 

Otto Porter is a really good additions as well and just saw they got Bjelica

Unless they are trading for an MVP caliber player, an aging Curry, injured Klay and over the hill Green aren't doing a thing. No chance that team competes with the Lakers or the Suns in the West.

I know we're not allowed to talk about anything other than how Green's suspension blew the 3-1 lead (because the Cavs apparently didn't have to win games 6 and 7), but that Warriors team with those 3 in their prime beat a Cavs team where Matthew Dellavedova was the 2nd best player and then lost in 7 to the Cavs after almost losing to the Thunder (down 3-1 in the WCF). They didn't become a juggernaut until Durant joined them.

I reach out to the Reggie Jackson camp and Clippers see if they want a Luke Kennard and Sign and Trade Reggie Jackson for Tobias Harris and Shake 

Raptors Siakam, Dragic, picks for Simmons

Please no.

assuming lillard isn't happening, i wouldn't mind something with the kings for de'aaron fox...they're guard heavy right now & really, really need help on D, so maybe they'd want ben...worth a shot for fox +, imo. 

Best shot Ben took in forever

They won 72 games without KD and without the suspension I bet they beat the Cavs. 

Aging Curry? He had a career high in ppg at 32pog, his highest FG% in the last 3 years at 48% and shot 42.1% on 12.7 attempts from 3.

Curry and Green where were playing with Poole, bench guys and G League guys during the season. It all depends on what Klay does and how is his side to side movement. He can still be a 40% 3 point shooter because shooters don't lose that stroke. 

You really mentioned the Suns? They were in the Finals because AD got hurt, Murray was hurt, Kawhi got hurt during the series. We won't see the Suns sniff a Finals again.

And if that guy who is probably a foot shorter than him and 100 pounds lighter said that to him in person, Jen would wait until he was 10 feet away and then mumble something.  What a little B*tch.

$200 says Suns go further than GS next year. Deal?

Why? Reggie Jackson's during the playoffs were out of this world. His iso game was higher than Luka during that run. Kennard gives them a legit shooter. Dragic can run a point and Siakam can give them bucks in iso moments

Bulls now have a plethora of Guards as well. 

Where does LaVine fit in? Do they play 3 guards t start? 

We discussed the outlook for the Sixers based on how the other teams in the NBA look but what about how the West looks from Dame's perspective.

The Lakers, Utah, Golden State, Suns and Denver are better than the Blazers.  Do everyone a favor including yourself Dame, and ask the F out!

I’m guessing they go Lavine to the 3 and just go ball, derozan and Lavine. Probably look to sign and trade markkanen to get a stretch four or someone that can defend 2-4

Sources: The San Antonio Spurs are finalizing sending DeMar DeRozan to the Chicago Bulls for Thad Young, a future first-round pick and two second-round picks.

And the outcome is the same or slightly better.  The ceiling would be a 3rd round exit.

There’s more teams I’d argue that are better than the blazers in the west. Forgot the clippers and Dallas. Also wouldn’t be surprised if memphis eventually passed them.

yeah..derozan has played the 2, 3, & 4....so they could easily start those three together. 

coby white might be available though.

Still gives them the ability to sign and trade markkanen to get another fit since he doesn’t want to be there. Credit to the bulls they actually used their cap space wisely unlike the moronic sixers and Brand when they had it 

dont get me wrong it still could implode for the bulls but they spent their cap way more wisely then the sixers 

Isn't Drummond the dude that Embiid always had major beef with?   

idk...the bulls made a lot of moves but they have a bunch of guys who've never won a damn thing.  derozan, lavine. vuc, ball....
