Yeah, thought that plan was based on Kyrie/Durant though.

Walker would be great, have him third in terms of free agents I'd like now (assuming Durant opts in and Klay re-signs). Leonard first (although I suspect he may well re-sign as well now) and Butler second. Only have Butler ahead of Kemba because with Lebron we shouldn't need to worry too much about playmaking, instead perimeter defence is a must. Then Russell, as mentioned yesterday, although thinking about it today he might need the ball a bit too much. Rubio, Payton, Rose, Teague, Beverley... even Rondo, there are so many PGs on the market this year we should be able to set a good back-court without a max option.

Lonzo has given plenty of indications that he's able to impact NBA games in numerous ways without even being a reliable scorer. Him going down with injury was the turning point for the season. Basically, right now I feel a bit burned by the deal, but nowhere near as angry as the D'lo trade (as that was a stupid decision necessitated by stupid decisions). Ultimately need to see the roster they put together. Main point is there's no excuses now. They have to build a winning side.

Just seen this. First off, well in Raptors. Great to see Kawhi stamp his authority on the league, I was hoping for an Eastern champion, just thought it would be Giannis. Think we've given up too much to be honest. The package was much better than everything else on offer. Ingram's health issues has him undervalued, same with Lonzo too. Kuzma on the other hand is overvalued, and in the only position we're now stacked in... I would have let it ride to the deadline. If this goes wrong it'll be about twice as bad as the Nash trade. Still, FA is strong this year, we could see a good roster put together. Ironically the guard we could do with trying to pick up at sub-max level would be D'lo… although I think the Nets will max him (as Durant was probably their priority, but I assume he opts in now).

I don't think exonerated is the right word, but claims of certainty seem premature. I definitely don't think it's right to chastise the opposition for disputing said 'certainty' in lieu of evidence.

Fuck me, I literally just explained my original post...

Just issuing the statement and helping escalate matters, nothing else at this point. Wasn't meaning we've dived in with the military at this point or anything. Corbyn is acting pretty consistently with the Salisbury attack again, first reaction is scepticism, but with evidence he would probably again accept it (even if it's unlikely he'd support military intervention). Hunt's jingoistic "don't ask questions" response just left me exasperated (even if it was coincidentally quite predictable and pathetic).

God forbid the opposition leaders asks for evidence of government actions...

Funny as fuck and had a cracking arse, but knew fuck all about HMS Bounty so I had to bin it off.

Well I suppose "corner taker" is probably as close as they have to an actual playmaker, so maybe. I was referencing Andre Gomes.

Signing the best playmaker in the league shortly, with his one assist for them last season. Heads will be falling off all over the place.

Looking forward to the Maguire/Jones dream team.

Don't skimp on the details though, he doesn't like things abridged.
