I didn't wait all day for 5:00 just to have it be 5:09 without any real news.

I think teams are truly terrified of being hit with tampering charges LOL

Free agent C Timofey Mozgov has agreed to a 3-year, $75M deal with the Charlotte Hornets, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

The Memphis Grizzlies need to clear a lot of cap space to make room for Jaren Jackson Jr.'s renegotiation. Interesting we got the deal first before the salary dumps necessary.

So, Memphis HAS to move on from Cole Anthony and/or Brandon Clarke for free.

Does Cole Anthony get anyone excited?

The Fan is reporting Russell to the Mavs as a done deal. Not seeing anything from Shams or Stein.

Because we have no choice... I would like to trade street clothes for a starting PG & SG in our core timeline but Harrison has to save his face after Luka trade so here we are.

A team with no PG and a coach who wants to play our SF rookie in that spot... If this is not a desperated situation then Titanic journey was fine after all.

There is always a choice.  We could do nothing and choose to be bad.  Desperation rarely leads to good decisions.

The Luka-Dodo-love-affair was short-lived in the second round, wasn’t it? 

Not sure if the Rockets really need him and his profile…
