I see... Sounds reasonable. I'd really like to see if we can talk Sacto or NY into taking Al. I saw some people speculating that we could be moving Kemba, but hopefully, if our FO has any sense, they see Kemba as one of few bright spots on the team. Unless a move would net us mudiay or Russell, then I would be hesitant to move kemba. I really hope we find a taker for Al. I feel like he's the biggest piece holding us back at this point.

Regardless, I just don't think any deal we do will be directly with the Celtics. Ainge just seems like a greedy asshole. Cho knows who the mark ass GMs are out there lol.

Curious Jase, why do you think the two are related?

Also, now that the Celts rumors have fell apart, I can't remember of I already mentioned it here, but I asked Steve Reed on Twitter if we were done dealing after the Lamb deal and he said, "nope." So something must be bubbling... I actually think several somethings are bubbling if MKG is the only safe Hornet.

Founding Hornet, the guy at HP who has claimed to have inside info, said last night that Cody was safe after the rumors initially came out... He just came back and said "scratch that, no one is safe except for MKG." Yes!!!! Bye bye Al!

I hope the knicks talks are going like this... "well, we're willing to give you Al Jefferson. you know, Al Jefferson. we have Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson is here."

Yeah, it appears Smart is only available for the #3 if Okafor is there. BUT, just read from another reporter that Philly called Boston about interest in the pick and they did not make that offer.

Now this... Remember Jase saying he was hoping we could get some length at guard? I think Jedi Master Cho is working his magic...

I thought maybe he was just a big fan of Cho's wheeling and dealing.

Yeah CB, I can see the advantages to having Sully. Definitely gives us added flexiibility on offense with his shooting and rebounding... He's also fairly rugged, hard-nosed... He's a good player, I was just hoping we could move up and move on from Al. But, who knows? As you said, this may open that possibility up. We keep stringing them together.

But now there is this... Berger is an excellent reporter:

Also, same guy (Potato) over at HP said not only did Sully follow The Hornets on twitter, he also unfollowed the Celtics, lol. Looks like we just added Sullinger and traded down. I hope that isn't it. I'm really hoping we trade Al and was hoping we found a way up into that top 5 if it wasn't too pricey.

Not sure if legit, but:

FWIW, if there was any doubt, I just asked Steve Reed if he think we're done dealing and he replied, simply, "Nope." LOL. This is awesome!

I'm beginning to worry that Presti got us on the Lamb deal. Something just doesn't seem right. Bunnell broke the Lamb news almost simultaneously as the Batum deal, and yet, the Batum deal got done and reported officially by the team within a few hours of being reported. We better not have swapped picks for a guy they essentially wanted to dump for additional salary space. We are doing them a favor that happens to help us in the process... If we swapped picks, I will join the fire Cho bandwagon.

Wow. Cho is a fuging boss.

Yeah... Like celibate said... I'm done.

There's that irrational hate I was talking about... So who was going to take those shots, KG? Lol... The amazing ball handler, Dellevadova? Lol. JR Smith was likely the best shot creator on their team outside of LeBron once Kyrie was hurt, but he likely would've shot 15% to end the series if he took the same amount of shots. LeBron had no one else to shoot those shots. He even tried to get others involved and no one else could do anything. I know you already know all of this, but don't let me stop you from your blind hate letting.

We'll, I appreciate your honesty. I don't completely agree with your assessment of his style of play, but that you even acknowledge his greatness is a step ahead of the innumerable amount of people who just flat out hate him. That's what my issue is... I get that not everyone is going to like even the greatest player... I remember I had a friend that didn't like Jordan when I was growing up, and my uncle hated him too lol. I'm sure they didn't have a good reason, but they still acknowledged how great he was. LeBron is the first player I can remember who is universally known as the most talented/skilled player of his generation to have people flat out say he sucks but have no reason for saying so other than not liking him. To further illustrate my point, Iverson was my favorite player post-MJ, pre-Lebron. So when the sixers fell to the Lakers in the finals at the hands of Kobe and shaq, I absolutely hated Kobe to a degree that can't even be measured. He literally pissed me off... I already despised him for wesealing his way out of charlotte to start his career, so that just iced the cake... All that being said, i never would've said he sucked. In fact, I told many that he was the most clutch/best closer since MJ. I think he's a mj-wannabe bitch, a chucker, selfish, and I don't think he would've won the championships he did without shaq for the most part... But I respect his greatness.

Also, good job bringing that trophy to Dub Nation, Steph. Mission accomplished. Now, get your ass home.

Warriors earned AND deserved this chip. They were the best team all season. Now, I hope LeBron wins the MVP because of his efforts in the finals and because it would piss off all of his irrational haters for the rest of the offseason lol.

James Michael McAdoo. NBA CHAMPION.
