[planetmars]

Just bumping this thread.. reminder tomorrow is the deadline (before 6pm of course). You can make edit's to your posts now if you like, just no edit's after 6pm tomorrow or your DQ'd.

I'd say tomorrow at 6 is too late with so many announcements already coming today.

[Demographic Shift]

Now that the Lakers have "traded" their last remaining 3 players under contract (besides Lebron and Davis and Kuzama and their draft pick) to the Wizards who happen to have a Rich Paul client named John Wall who the Wiz can really really use some help moving off their books in the coming year everyone who can fog a mirror in free agency will be linked to the Lakers.

However the great story is how this happened. Its probably just a fluke I know.. All three being non descript players going to the same team. On the same day. In the same transaction . Happens all the same time. Yes sir it just happens all the time.

They have a max slot available.. So get ready for it... EVERYONE is going to LA baby.

I think Woj actually has a ton of integrity. The rest of them are pumping pro-American nonsense for ratings. But I do believe that Woj just reports the things he hears.

Everyone of them 'hears' things.
Only thing that matters is who they're hearing things from.

Right. And Woj is considered the gold standard in reporting because he has the best sources.

Is he perfect? No. But I think you have to use critical thinking to discern what is obviously speculative and what is definitive, as he makes it fairly clear which is which.

About 2 hours before the deadline.. and I think I've locked in my ballot. No idea how these deals can be announced so early. Next year I'll try and remember to make the deadline 2 days before free agency lol.

[Kagemusha]

Fuck, missed out on KD joining Kyrie in BKN.

I thought about editing mine like everyone else but I'll just take credit along with 007 and jacob for being the only unedited ones to call KD/Kyrie to Brooklyn more than two days before the deadline.
