Chris Paul on the move again. I understand the move for the Suns as a path to get into the playoffs, but they won't be a serious contender.

Any team that is hoping to get Giannis next summer is happy, so are the Lakers since he won't be going to the Clippers.

I think Giannis will stay with the Bucks...

I'd take the Bucks over any individual team but probably the field over the Bucks at this point.

I find the pairing of him and Luka very intriguing if the Mavs can pull it off.

There is no way in hell Giannis stays with the Bucks

Chris Paul is going to fall off a cliff one of these years like Steve Nash did. Might not be next year, but soon.

Covington is a nice get for the Blazers but two firsts?

Depends on the protections for next year's pick.

Pelicans and Thunder now own something like a third of the first round picks in the next 6 drafts.

Bucks better make this season count. The virtual fans need to soak it all up while they can.

Draft picks don’t mean shit to us for the next 2 years. It’s win now mode with Dame. One of the better moves (on paper for now) by Olshey.

Bogie on the Bucks will be nice

Fair. But what about Melo?!

Covington is like adding a B+ student to a classroom filled with C+/B- wings. Portland has been looking for a guy like this for years.

Man that's a lot for Jrue Holiday. I get it, but man. I was expecting a Kemba for Holiday trade.

If that's the price for Holiday, it's hard to imagine anybody being able to put a deal together for Harden.

Man the Bucks gave away a lot last night. I guess they figured Giannis wouldn’t accept running it back.

Whoa, the Bucks got Bogdanovic, too? A lot happened after I went to bed! Those are some pretty impressive win-now moves.

Bledsoe and Holiday don’t look that different on paper, but the former has proven useless in the playoffs, so that must be the thinking. Holiday’s last playoff run looked solid.

Holiday can play defense, create his own shot, and run the offense. Bledsoe can get his shot, but playoff time he's borderline unplayable against teams that target him on defense. That's a huge upgrade IMO.
