Mark Rosewater says there's no way to change Magic back to how it was before.
He's wrong.
Loud and constant criticism works. They hear us when we complain about cowboy hats and pizza slices.
UB might be hear to stay, but there's no reason it can't be forced to adapt to the hard fantasy at the core of Magic, rather than forcing Magic to accommodate goofy cartoon schlock.
So what you’re telling me is the Spurs ultimately traded him to the place he liked the most in his career, even though he put the franchise through hell. Just goes to show how classy the Spurs are.
Kawhi Leonard wants to ultimately retire as a member of the Raptors once his next contract extension is done, per @ShamsCharania.
Kawhi will lead Toronto’s group led by Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles over the next handful of years before his Hall of Fame career ends.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
@WembysCastle C+ not calculated broad stroke swing big approach. Took big swings on high risk and settled for need. They could have done worse but they should have tried to make more moves given the weird draft spot they were in.
I would have given the spurs a D grade in the first round if they didn’t trade for Reed it bumped them up to a B- grade. Pick 26 being able to get rotation minutes early is great. Spending pick 20 on who is essentially just chess buddy for Wemby for 2 years not so much.
@CarterB_burner *high risk, outstanding reward, IF he can return to form and stay healthy spurs will have 3 all defensive players if he can’t he will be out of the league.
Looking at Quaintance scouting reports it says his game is built around athleticism and explosive power. Two things you lose through major injury. Spurs really chose to gamble huh
@ZachNBA_ Too bad he Derrick rosed he will not be the same player you see in the highlights. You don’t swing for upside on injury at this point in the draft.
If ant becomes available spurs should throw every pick and any player not named Dylan or Victor they can in getting him this is the reason why you hoard picks and assets.

Anthony Edwards has been frustrated since Karl-Anthony Towns was traded, per @WindhorstESPN@BannedMacMahon: “The NBA vultures are swirling around Ant in anticipation of him potentially becoming the next superstar who's available in the trade market” 👀

Dylan Harper really went from being considered worse than Kon to on par with copper Flagg . If there is one thing this finals showed us it’s that the spurs made absolutely correct pick at 2.
