Minnesota sheds $2.5 million for the 2019-20 season

Washington sheds $.5 million for the 2019-20 season

Chicago absorbs $3 million for the coming season

I always preferred the metaphor about the cake to the bridesmaids one. Because wtf is stopping you from having the cake and also eating it? Just eat part of the cake! Or, like, buy two slices or something. Be the bridesmaid and the bride.

LeBron is out here talking about how the ghost of Kobe is coming down from heaven to possess his body and do dunks and shit and I WANT TO BE ON THIS RIDE.

I had to rope in a third party to make money work. I kinda expected to get more for that OKC pick and I sorta feel like I got hosed, but this is legit the best offer I got for it over two months of shopping it and it came at exactly the right time.

[Washington Wizards]

The epic LeTrade has finally been completed. The tank is on ladies and gentlemen.

I took on a TON of dead money for this, but I like the length of Tobi's contract, and I believe that TD is an excellent prospect. Plus I got a first round pick out of it too. Not too shabby.

Now go win a title in Minny, LeBron.

I accept.

[Chicago Bulls]

I accept. Pretty simple, I wanr a pick.

[Phoenix Suns]

Wolves won this trade incredibly hard. He got rid of $28,000,000 in DEAD MONEY for 2 firsts and Tobias Harris and got back Lebron James and Lou Williams on great contracts. Bonkers.

Bulls also won this, 7m this year means absolutely nothing to him, and Lou Williams is old and on a short term deal, that pick is much better than what he had.

Wizards is the biggest loser here by far. Took on wayyyyyyyyyyyy too much dead money to GIVE someone Lebron James -- the best piece in the deal. I've never once in my life said to myself, "hmm, I should try to trade for Tobias Harris." How does that move the needle? Seems like a desperation, panicky trade to dump Bron. The 2023 pick is nice, but 28m in dead money? Jesus.

Minny got fleeced multiple times last year, and he seems to have regained his mojo in the past few weeks, and has absolutely crushed other GMs in trades.

A wolf in sheeps clothing indeed.

I approve.

[Dallas Mavericks]

I like the Bulls side of this deal. Possibly got the best hole in this threesome. Pretty soon he is going to be speaking my language, "Picks? Pick, Pick, Pick! Picks!?"

Ever since I stepped down as commissioner, Minnesota has got better and better with his trading ability. Honestly, who is out there clamoring for Tobias Harris? And you get to dump Kelly Olynyk and Rudy Gay? Disgusting. The former EOTY is playing the long con, make everyone think you lost your mojo and then swoop in with a doozy of a move at the end of the season.

I appreciate the Washington Wizards taking Philly's place next season as the team that tanks for me and conveys me with another very high first round draft pick. Please don't fight so aggressively over the honor.

I approve and may god have mercy on the Timberwolves' soul.
