    Been an entertaining trade deadline for sure lol.

    Heat get Wiggins which they’ll like, have to see the details on the pick to fully judge this tho. Kind of forgot PJ was still in the league, is he washed?

    For the warriors this was really the only trade available if you’re going to try and make a run. Maybe you get the version of butler that helps carries you to the finals and maybe this blows up but at least they went for it one last time with Steph.

    Edit: can’t wait for the inevitable Draymond/Jimmy fight

      I really can’t see a world where Jimmy Butler is contributing as much as Andrew Wiggins and Dennis Schroeder offensively unless he’s dropping 40 every night. You’d really need Steph Jimmy and Kuminga to drop 30-40 every night to make this work which has almost never worked with recent all-star teams minus Luka & Kyrie.

      They already had really poor spacing, now you pretty much only have Steph who can consistently shoot 3s. Moses moody has been showing a lot of great shooting recently but will it stay? And how will it be in the playoffs.

    LOL. Only one I feel sorry for is Schroeder. He’s a big family guy and he keeps getting moved every season.

      Also find it funny he was commenting how much he likes SF because it reminds him of Europe. Welcome to Utah. Whoops.
