2. The hershell walker trade or rocky colavito were worse...maybe the trade that made the thunder

Brown's salary will put the sixers up against the apron. Once other guys get paid they are screwed.

Still think the Celtics could have gotten more but they put the Sixers in cap hell.

The Hershell walker trade was the most one sided in the NFL because Jimmy Johnson played guys who sucked to trigger escalators to better picks (honorable mention for the Ricky Williams trade).

The thunder got a gazillion picks that turned into a championship team.

I don't think so. The thought of not seeing Jaylen dribbling the ball off his legs while burning the shot clock NewHendoLib Friday #3

He made a shitload more clutch shots than Tatum ever did. OAITW r.2.0 Friday #5

both players are flawed - but Jaylen's turnovers were a constant bother. His +/- was often pretty bad too. NewHendoLib Friday #8
