Cavs fans are hoping for a Harden like return, or just Lebron.

Okoro good play

Dare I say Javale McGee revenge spot PLUS Drum out????

Can someone invite me to the new league. Pidinolo84 is my dk login

New League

Haven’t received anything yet. Usually last week of February.

Don’t sleep on thad young tonight.

I think it might be one of those random Harris pop a shot days.

Seems like all the ownership going to like three games. May have to lock in Jimmy Butler

I played Thad pretty much every night until his price got unreasonable. It’s fallen back into a playable range but Carter Jr may be back tonight. I think Thad has an opportunity to have a good game, but I’m not going out of my way to include him.

Also, DK’s DvP number is suspect here. The only way I can get IND to rank 29th DvP at PF is to limit to the last 7 games which happens to include a run with Giannis put up a triple double and they also faced Zion and Collins. Extend that window and the matchup doesn’t look anywhere near as good.

Drum should go to bucks and they should want him – Lopez should be retired

I will roll dice on Javale tonight

My guess – Boston

Drum is on an expiring deal. No one will have to give up much to get him other than making the salaries work. Probably have to take back another bad expiring contract and throw in a second round pick.

Three way deal with Miami, maybe? What would Miami need to dump to make that work salary-wise?

Moe “Dont Call me Moritz” Wagner is 3.2k on DK. If he starts again, I will have 50% and hope he tops 20 mins.

Fingers crossed for Boston.

I’m gonna puke when he ends up in Brooklyn but I don’t htink they can make it work without throwing in Dinwiddie or Harris for salary purposes

Per ESPN, Cav’s have to take back 23 million in contracts to trade Drummond, who is on an expiring deal.

Yeah, last year it didn’t work for Boston, because the only way they could match salaries realistically was to move Hayward, but now they have that giant trade exception from the Hayward to Charlotte deal, where they could just straight up absorb Drummonds salary, right? It’d be funny if Drum went to Boston and just bumped Tristan Thompson right out of a starting job again. Part of the Kardashian curse I guess.

Yeah, figure they will find a way to get him to Brooklyn or LA.

Drummond makes sense for the Lakers. But I dont know the cap ramifications

Wouldn’t make sense. That clogs up the lane for Giannis.

Forgot about that, they have a 28.5 million trade exception. Don’t have to send out any contracts. Throw in a second rounder and you probably have a ready made deal.

I disagree and the bucks get destroyed night in and night out on the boards – every center and quality forward kills them

You are just making that up. Bucks are number two in the league in Rebounds.
