🔥 Dailyn Swain?
💪 Tobe Awake?

And one more question…
Did the Bulls make the right move trading for Nic Claxton, or would you have preferred they waited on Jalen Duren?
Let's hear your thoughts! 👇
Agree 💯 % Troy…not only are those that think we could've pried Juren away from Detroit delusional but then to criticise BG for pulling the trigger on Claxton so early (b4 free-agency) really are displaying their collective stupidity and fundamental lack of understanding of the modern NBA – Truth be told, the Claxton trade will go on to prove a master-stroke considering the value that has been placed on serviceable big men (like $14 million for Jock Landale).
Moreover, Claxton has been seriously unutilised by a, quite frankly, terrible tanking team and this change of scenery is going to do him wonders…
BTW mate, the Finney-Smith deal didn't cost the Hornets 3 2nd round picks – they actually received those picks to take on his woeful contract…Charlotte now have 20 2nd round picks lol 😆
They signed
