I get that it's twitter so people will complain about anything but the scary skull guy is just a classic bootleg sports shirt motif, since the 80s at least.

If anything brandishing Kobe's graven image even as an undead burn victim shows how deep the love of Kobe worshippers runs

It reminds me of those 1980s Metallica skull shirts.

According to the latest projections (in 2021) monkeu is going to win a large lottery and then buy the forums. Only Drake and GSW adulation is permitted. Next is 2022 and it goes something like the end of Melancholia (2011).

If a player isn't playing, there is no reason for them to be there. All it does it create bigger potential for the restart to fail.

they’re never gonna get someone equivalent to gobert back in a trade, but donovan is the most popular player on the team by a long shot and is still on a v cheap contract

i think utah management toes the line and tells them both to loving deal until gobert’s contract is expiring/up

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
I think it's easier to imagine Mitchell improving over the next few years into a top ten player in the league than it is for Gobert, already 28, to improve to that level. So if you have to move one then it'd be Gobert, especially since he is the more expensive player.

It's a gamble. Personally, I don't think Mitchell will improve to that point, nor do I think Gobert will lose value. But I agree that if you move one, you move Gobert, because while Mitchell is the one most vocal about it, I can't imagine anyone on the team is happy with Gobert. You gotta move the guy who caused the problem.

He's up for an extension but still has a year left on that 4 year contract he signed in Oklahoma. Ok a few things about Oladipo.
He is the defacto number 1 pick of his draft, because nobody could ever imagine the Cavs picking Bennett.Therefore the Magic could have gotten anyone except Bennett, looking back it was a wise decision.

He looked great his first 3 seasons in Orlando, forget hindsight his shot looked fine.Some fans and media outlets mentioned the shot but it was never that at all. He made poor decisions with the ball and didn't get to the free throw line. All of that was on the Magic, i'm sorry to say.

So the Trade goes down and Oklahoma signs him right away to his second NBA contract.This is very important, as he could have played one more year on the original contract. Also i think they could have signed him to the 5 year deal. He progresses and really can't show off with the Thunder because he needs the ball in his hands more. Finally gets traded to the right team and looks great right away, makes the all star team.

So what do you do with a former number 1 pick(almost!) who has had only 1 good year and hasn't really played for two seasons?As an Orlando Magic fan i'm a little bitter about the trade but can't imagine the dysfunction if he was still in Orlando. The Pacers have done just fine without him the last two years, which makes the decision much more difficult. Considering the timing they should let him play the last year out, lots of free agents in 2021.

Pacers offered him a less then max deal extension and he got mad. He is done here. Hopefully some dumb team will trade for him.
