This is great. To have everyone hanging on your every word without really saying anything.

The Brian Windhorst memes are all over the twitter world now - some are hilarious.

Honestly, the Windhorst thing made my day. In the very bleak Mavs landscape of my mind. Supreme Court justices set to put the final nail in the coffin of our democracy. Only Windy could make me right…

The f´n state of Twitter, that half the comment section cannot even figure out what he´s trying to say without him spelling it out.

(1) Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter: "Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland has agreed on a five-year, $193M maximum designated rookie contract extension that could be worth as much as $231M, @KlutchSports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN. It is the largest deal in franchise history." / Twitter
I don´t know. I do know that when we started our re-build the Cavs had just beaten the Warriors for theNBA title. Since then the Cavs have overhauled their whole roster to this...
Garland/Neto
Lavert/Rubio
Osman/Okoro/Ajbaji
Mobley/Love
Allen/Markkanen
....and they still have the Collin Sexton trade asset to upgrade their wings positions. Assets, youth, depth. Complete rebuild in five years.

Way better than JB and three years younger.

Btw huge respect to the wife of Miles Bridges. She keeps her mouth shut, Bridges gets a $100M contract and she gets $50M in the divorce. Probably cost herself at least $20M speaking up at this point.

I am really surprised the mavs have not designated a two way spots. Moses Wright would assume to have one but no announcement. I would hope they are proactive with these slots. I am uncertain if they are really deliberate or just don’t care too much.

The above tweet does make me wonder if Dallas is involved in a peripheral trade with these teams considering what Skin said on the podcast.

This tweet is crap. Mitchell can't go to Bkn. So, is the thinking that Mitchell would go to the suns and Durant to the Jazz? WTH? Twitter is crazy sometimes.

The thinking is, someone throws names out there and pretends to know things of which he has no clue, and hopes you believe him.

That tweet named 3 players and said the trade was big with several other moving parts and picks. It does not say that the 3 teams currently attached to the names are the only teams in the trade. Not too long ago, Atl was attached to Ayton, along with other teams that have some parts that are rumored to be gone. When you get vague talk like this, you can’t get into specifics and think your reading of the tea leaves is absolute.

I've been following this guy for a while. He has been right about a lot relative to PHX. I believe he's affiliated with the organization, somehow.
He doesn't write or articulate thoughts as well as Skin, but that's who I'd compare him to in our Mavs scene. Very pro management, and in a way that makes it seem like his sources are high up.
He was talking about the Durant interest in PHX (which is true) while the Mavs were still playing GS. Weeks before the established media picked it up. Just saying.

He absolutely can, it would just require Simmons to go elsewhere (which the guy mentioned in another tweet that I posted somewhere else).
Look, Durant is going to PHX, MIA or TOR, and that's all there is to it. If any of us here actually believe the player is not going to be accommodated to a huge extent, then we haven't been paying attention over the past few years. They're not going to keep him against his will, and they're not going to send him to OKC or Orlando or any such place against his will.
Donovan Mitchell's team is blowing it up. He has always wanted to play in NY. Ayton is in play. Personally, I think the three-way match there is super easy to see coming.

I think you’re right on the money that Durant will be traded to one of those teams (my money is on TOR). I think Kyrie ends up in LA and Simmons gets moved to?

I imagine this is one of the more difficult moving parts in the process. The list of Simmons suitors might be pretty small, and it's not like teams don't know that BRK has to move him for some of their preferred outcomes to happen.
