Tristan Thompson move the needle for you?
No its a desperation move after they fucked everything up. Brad won't play him it makes no sense.
You like Theis better?

Thompson, Harrell, Ibaka, and Myers Leonard all got basically the same deal. The Myers Leonard deal is really confounding. Also really don't understand why the Lakers didn't offer their money to Ibaka instead of Harrell, seems like he would have been a much better fit.

You need to keep them close to the other eastern conference teams I guess. Missed opportunity in my opinion. I've been listening to Sonics Forever podcast. Last week GP was on. He was really loose and told a lot of awesome stories. It got my Sonics nostalgia going.

No but Brad does and he refuses to consult with me on rotations.

Isn't Washington one of the states with the strictest covid policies? Florida's the exact opposite. The state says sporting events can be held at 100% capacity. No team has actually decided to do that yet, but I'm guessing that's the biggest factor.

Now that I've calmed down I'm coming around to the Tristan Thompson signing. I'm still afraid they'll use him like they used Kanter but I've got to hold on to something here. They are the 5th seed at best.

2 and 15 for Rondo isn’t too bad long term anyway a c it’s not my money. Hopefully he’s good and happy.

I certainly like what they did. I was not expecting all this.

Rondo is a great guy to have with a young group. He did a really nice job with the Bulls young guys. He even went to G League games in Hoffman Estates. Rondo sided with the young guys when Wade and Jimmy threw them under the bus. He also didn't give a fuck about what Boylen had to say and got suspended for throwing a towel in his face. Hard to argue with any of that.

Danny got his trade exception from the Hayward trade. Now we can have hushed whispers for the next year about Giannis until he goes somewhere else. Danny's next white whale.
