One of the wildest trade deadlines I've ever witnessed. Everything from minor salary dumps to blockbuster moves. 2nd round picks flying around like crazy

It's not that i miss GarPax but it's strange to think that we may better positioned right now with them. Their track record says they draft Haliburton and they probably never would have done the Vuc overpay either.

I believe it. People are leaving Illinois in general. It wouldn't surprise me that people outside of Chicago would leave for WI or other surrounding states, considering how much they hate Chicago (mostly for political reasons).
I doubt many people are leaving Chicago for Wisconsin, though. I don't know the numbers, but I would think more people from WI move to Chicago than people from Chicago moving to WI. I've lived in Chicago my whole life and always meet people who moved here from WI, but I've known very few people who moved to WI. The ones that did only did so because they went to college there and got a job via the company they interned with. I know it's anecdotal, but I just don't see it. Maybe people are going to Milwaukee?

Yeah, it got wild the second Kyrie requested a trade. If that doesn't happen, I don't think we get all this craziness.

I'm surprised the Grizzlies didn't do anything. It seems like they really didn't want to part ways with their 1st round picks. Which is crazy to me... First round picks in 2-5 years aren't going to help you win a title in the next couple of seasons. Championship windows close quickly, and the Grizzlies have pieces to get better now.
People may think the Suns are crazy for giving up 4 first round picks... but without that move, there's no way they win a title in the next couple of years. Now, they have a legit chance. Odds are, those picks wouldn't amount to much anyway.

I was actually just thinking about how it feels like we still have GarPax. They were known for "staying pat" on the trade deadline. Now, we've gone 2 straight deadlines where we didn't make a move.
Isn't Paxson still with the Bulls, but in a different role? Maybe he has more influence than we think.

Yeah a max contract for Felicio would have been tough to swallow.
Not to mention that lifetime coaching contract for Boylen.

Well, since we all here seem to agree BD sucks, then that must mean LaVine has a very HIGH BASKETBALL IQ, seeing as he’s the only one on the team that sees it apparently

They did do something. The Grizz added sharpshooter Luke Kennard to help their 3 point shooting
Also, the Grizz front office has placed a high value on their draft picks(1st rounders in particular) and they have basically vowed to not stray from their philosophy. Time will tell if it proves to be wise or not, but they are sticking to their plans either way

AK is a fraud. Sold the fan base on “continuity” If he believed that, he’s a moron. Extended BD like an idiot…now trying to say they’re not ok with mediocrity LOL…BS artist

Gotta at least be higher than the rest of the scrubs on the team if this rumor is true
Or the rest of the team is just cool with mediocrity because they like billy as a person(kinda like it seems AK does), and ZL isn’t cool with accepting a mediocre head coach

Or, the team doesn’t like the way Zach plays basketball and doesn’t accept responsibility? And they recognize BD isn’t good, but still side with him over Zach? Lol…fact of the matter is, we don’t know and will likely never find out the true pulse of the locker room. Silly to plug in conclusions to fit personal narratives
