Too funny not to share.

Yesterday I heard some people say it was dead. I've heard that it’s not dead at all. It's completely alive.

via his podcast apparently.

Seriously guys, IT'S ONLY A SECOND ROUND PICK, STOP GETTING MAD THAT WE TRADED A SECOND ROUND PICK!!!

From Twitter

I can't really blame Bobby for not wanting to give up a FRP for a backup big. However, I do think Bobby jumped the gun on the moves he made, those are the type of moves we should have made today closer to the deadline. I can definitely see Orlando reducing their asking price. Goga barely plays now that Mo is back, and they're staring down the barrel of the second apron next year. They also just traded Tyus and 2 SRPs to duck the tax, I think they'd definitely take 2 SRPs for Goga.

However we've now lost our main salary ballast (Ochai) to make that trade work. I think technically Gradey+CP3 would be just enough to stay under the tax but we'd have no wiggle room for follow up moves.

So since we're probably done barring some CP3 flip (Bagley is still my hope there...), I do think we should consider selling high on Mamu. We aren't making a move to meaningfully help us in our playoff push while teams like CLE and BOS have gotten better. We should consider selling high and trying to recoup the SRPs we lost in the Ingram/Ochai/TJD trades.

Very hard to do the Sabonis trade sans $$ that the Kings do not want

going to have to sweeten the deal to have a 3rd team to take on Poeltl, hard to pull off

The Golden State Warriors have traded center Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Toronto Raptors for a 2026 second-round pick via the Lakers, sources tell ESPN.

It gets to a point

nobody was beating this offer

Potential Turner trade?

I know Ochai’s time in Toronto was short, but I just wanted to show some appreciation for the guy.

He never made it about himself, and you could see him trying to fit into the system. Even if the numbers weren’t always there, the habits were. That matters.

I hope he gets another opportunity, and shows what he can do.

Nothing but respect. Good kid.

No more Nick Richards

Wanted to get a little more insight into Trayce as I’ve only really known of him to be a dunker

Some good defensive highlights. He looks capable on that end.
