I like the Pascal trade but three 1sts is too much. Two, tops. He doesn’t guarantee a title Or definitively move to a top 2 in West.

I’d take Wendell from Magic, but they won’t. I like idea of trying for like Joathan Isaac, and (Fultz or Cold Anthony). Buy low on an elite defender, and get a guard.

Rockets trade is good value. Don’t know why they’d do it. Poole and Green is a terrible mix. if something like that happened the Warriors need to flip those for something more present

Ok found a trade that might be possible:

Poole to Magic for Fultz.

Saves $, gets a switchable player that actually passes and dribbles the ball, but also one that misses lots of games so other players will get playing time.

There are no great trades out there for the Warriors, unless some team irrationally loves Poole. Getting their collective heads back out into sunlight is the most viable path to success.

The Miami-Celtics game was pretty cool. The refs inconsistency made it a bit tougher to watch than necessary but at the end it came down to players making plays. Butler calmly draining 3 FT’s was pretty awesome and White got the job done at the end after the inevitable Smart miss. The finals has no wrong answers at this point but the heat and celts are looking pretty banged up.

I vote for Alex as the wisest dnhq member.

i know anything can happen in a game 7 but that DW putback screams team of destiny.

What a painful loss for Miami. Up by 1 with like 3 seconds left and then lose by 1. I feel so bad for them. They seem to have lost steam after winning the first three games. Hopefully, they win game 7 but Boston now has the momentum and the home advantage.

That's the most tense I've felt for a non-Warrior game in a long time

i guess losing close games in the playoffs hurts more than getting blown out.

If it wasn't for that flurry at the end, Jimmy's new nickname would have been:

We all need Miami to win game 7. But we all also know they’re gonna choke

I feel bad for Miami. Hope they take Game 7 somehow, but it's not looking promising after...whatever the hell that was....

When I said the Heat would inexplicably take the Celtics to 7, this is not what I meant

I love how we watch to the very exact nanosecond of the end of the shot clock, but nobody much cares about the start… not calling out this play as anything special, but if the clock keeper starts it 0.1s early or late, it matters just as much.

Pretty sure Derrick White earned his $16 mil for this year in just this game. Didn't have a great shooting game, but 6 assists and 3 blocks, and that putback.

That was terrible by Strus in the end. Don't know why he jumped out to cut out a pass to someone that was running away from the basket with only 3s on the clock. Then was late to return to box out White. That's some Jordan Poole defensive sequence right there.
