@alpacinogrunt Whether or not Tatum wants or cares that Brown gets traded is completely beside the point lmao. It makes completely no sense for him to go public about any of this.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@alpacinogrunt Also, why would Tatum go behind the front office's back to actively sabotage them? When has this ever been the expectation of a star player when their teammate is in trade talks? People have lost their minds with this.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@normal_jake_ The problem is you have to draw a line somewhere between what is on and offside, not matter how you design the rule. As long as there continues to be instant replay, there will always be instances where it is incredibly close.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

It doesn't really matter how close or far we were. All that matters now is that its over.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@alpacinogrunt Like Bill Simmons said, Hugo was off the table, sorry! Org loves him, especially Brad!

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@RealBobManning Yep agreed, masterfully played by Brad. Just how you draw it up.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@MikeAdxx dont care, were winning the east if it happens.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@TrillBroDude Even worse, there were members of that fanbase that thought this trade was a precursor to a Giannis trade.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

I really hope they didn't fuck around with their "final" offer

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

I’m just gonna say….

I would be absolutely shocked if Hugo was/is thrown into any Giannis trade offer. The entire organization is all-in on him - Stevens prob the most. They could not be higher on him. I genuinely don’t believe he’s involved. Guess we’ll see.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@TA1297 This is my biggest fear, that they are either going to be stupid, or too prideful to take the Celtics offer after Brad drew a line in the sand.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

I cant take this anymore, please someone put an end to this

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@JakeWally the "split faction" one, or did i miss something?

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@PokerGO thatd be Brockton's own Ronnie Bardah

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@lissmx14 think the idea would be to make it a 3 team trade, with all that stuff going to MIL, Giannis to C's, and some extra stuff going to MIL from Boston. MIL gets their Miami offer, but better.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@TA1297 Defense with Rudy/Giannis/Tatum would be insane, but would probably be overkill. We need shooters around those 2.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@NBABabySecret At least we'll be able to use the Kuzma/Tatum meme every time he has a good game.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@Mahcus_Smaht Shams also saying Jaylen "will be in Milwaukee," sounds much more cryptic when you assume that as well.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@Mahcus_Smaht The manufacturing consent has begun, i love it.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

Does the likelihood of Giannis to Boston go up significantly if a trade is not made by draft night? Miami's offer is impacted significantly if they are forced to use #13.

[Rory Powell @Rory_Powell]

@alpacinogrunt @TA1297 @quit_NAGgin I like to think of it as the Celtics have JTs on a 988s board and the Heat have pocket 6s. Heat technically clinging to the "lead" but Celtics have a ton of ways to beat them.
