Congrats! Big fan of Jake! Excited to have that much more content on your platform.

Intel on what executives around the league are saying on my (dysfunctional, pathetic) Sixers will be interesting. Any chance they could deal Embiid and/ or PG to a desperate franchise? Lol.

Agreed on no chance of a trade during this season - question is, are PG and/or Embiid, with their injury histories, a positive or negative asset.

I see no scenario they move those guys this season. Next summer… let’s see how this season finishes.

I remember the news of Spurs entertaining idea of trading Dejounte. I said Jake didn’t know what he was talking about… I was flat out wrong and owned up to it on twitter.

Great stuff!!

Great memory. He was indeed the first to identify Dejounte as a likely trade exit from the Spurs.

I remember being convinced it was John Collins going back to San Antonio. Atlanta was looking to move him (they eventually did, to Utah). And if memory serves, it was Danilo Ganilinari's non-guaranteed contract which got that deal done.

Oscar and Kareem? Kareem and Magic? Lets goooo! 🙌

I like the Oscar and Kareem take. Not to say that Marc is 'old,' but the veteran 'legend' and the youthful up and comer dynamic seems to be a good matchup. Combining to become a super-power, but also a passing of the torch as well. Magic/Kareem also fits in the same vein. Either way.. it's a one-two duo that we're all lucky to witness.
