there’s a straight line between that moment and what he’s built this current team into

I thought the “decline in interest” had been at this point 100% attributed to local carraige issues that are supremely messed up
but whatever, I’m not getting into the “nba is fixed” convo

It was extremely obvious when he was at MSU that he was an extremely awesome player
wild stuff
yeah he was an absolute monster in college. was crazy obvious. and Izzo coached him like he was Montgomery Burns coaching Don Mattingly

Izzo probably thought that by under-playing him, he’d get JJJ to return.

Perhaps some premature reports

Looks like Coby, Vuc, and Zo are on the trade block.
I mean, the whole team should be.
I’m not sure what Vuc’s value is, we’ve been over Ball ad nauseum.
White is a starting caliber guard making $12 mil this year and $12.9 mil next year. Ayo is a poor starter/ideal 3rd guard making $7 million each of the next two years. Those are really good contracts! Good teams should want them!
Giddey isn’t practically tradeable because he’s bad, expensive, and expiring. Patrick Williams is probably one of the 10 worst contracts in the league. Outside Buzelis (who I doubt will get moved just because he shows some promise but I’m not sure who is trading for him), that about covers anyone they have who is rotation caliber.

White is probably the easiest to move, depending what Chicago wants in return. I would think Detroit would be willing to trade Fontecchio & a 2nd rounder or two, but don’t see any chance they give up Holland or Ausar. I doubt Chicago is interested in that.
Ball seems most likely for Detroit if Chicago just wants to shed the salary and get a 2nd rounder back.
We already found that out in 2002…
I’m more interested in Luka’s first game as a Laker than the Super Bowl.;.

Ishbia trying to give the Adelsons some company.
I dk, maybe it’s just always wise to get into the Jimmy business. You don’t regret it until the end.
As an avowed Jimmy Butler Stan
What the heck is this about
There’s a rumor that the Mavs wanted KD, Nico should’ve gotten more assets from the LAL if that’s the case. lol

So they got KJ plus 2 future 2nd for free just to take on salary?
