JUST IN: 🇷🇺 Russian health authorities have placed hundreds of people in quarantine after a deadly virus leaked from a lab.

Several hospitals have also been shut down and placed under quarantine.

@James_HamNBA Small correction James, the luxury tax is actually calculated at the end of the regular season, not Aug 31. Teams can still get under it later with trades or buyouts. The late-August date is specifically just the deadline to use the stretch provision :-)

new list

@CarmichaelDave Once again - not 5th best odds. Same odds as Utah to win a top 4 pick. A tie splits the lottery odds but only needs the tie breaker to decide who picks first in the event neither team moves up

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@CarmichaelDave Not 5th best odds. Even odds with Utah. Tie breaker only decides who picks higher in the event neither moves up :-)

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@CarmichaelDave No offense Dave - but if the kings can get any sort of a positive return without taking back long term salary for Domas, they absolutely should do it, it makes no sense to pay a guy this much who��s prob outside the top 5 at his position at this point

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@BrendenNunesNBA They can do 27, 29, & 31 without unprotecting 25 by using “first available” language

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 I’ve got them with about $10 million left, they can take Duarte into Richaun Holmes’s trade exception, meaning they can complete the deal once they’re over the cap.

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 Kuzma has never posted a positive defensive +/- in any season of his career. He’s also never posted an above average season in true shooting or efg%. Not sure this is the guy we need 😂

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@LilSutra @TimMaxwell22 If he makes it again next year, he is super max eligible

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@NateDuncanNBA What’s the score Nate? Maybe say what the kings are doing well?

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 No issue with giving up firsts, I just don’t think he’s the guy. Would be much better to swing for the fences and try to unprotect the 2024 pick to ATL, then do:

Sac : OG Anunoby, Malachai Flynn

Toronto: Holmes, Davion, 2025 swap, 2026 first (top 4 protected), 2027 swap

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 John Collins = league avg true shooting, 22% from 3 while shooting 32% of his shot attempts from there. He’s also owed $25m/yr for the next 3 seasons. I don’t really get the fit let alone think it’s worth trading a pick for

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 Also -13 in a game you lead by 1 point 🥲

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 Get V aggressive, unprotect this year’s pick to Atlanta, send HB, Davion, Holmes+ 2025 unprotected 1st for Markkanen & Conley Jr

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 HB, Davion, Holmes & a 2nd for PJ Washington & Kelly Oubre Jr

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 Holmes for Kelly Oubre Jr feels like a natural trade? Works straight up

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 How do you feel about this:

SAC: John Collins, #5

ATL: Jerami Grant, Len

DET: Holmes, #4

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 #4 and Holmes for Keldon Johnson and #9

[Chris Fox @chrismfox]

@TimMaxwell22 I believe we’d have to send out matching salary for Grant so this would also depend on Detroit’s willingness to take back some spare parts
