Is there a world where Utah turns around and sends Jaren Jackson to Portland for the Bucks picks and then this gets really stupid?

On the day that Jaden Ivey gets traded to the Bulls, the Bulls somehow injured Cole Anthony. There may be justice for Jaden in Chicago......

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Everyone call the Timberwolves office at 612-673-1600 and leave a message that the game tonight cannot happen.

What a great NBA night of close games! Teams with top two records both lose and one of them at home to the team with the worst record in the league! Great finish to regulation and OT in Boston-Brooklyn! Real fun for fans watching the whole night!

Bigs nights for SGA, Mitchell, Mobley, KD and Saddiq

Cleared my fantasy roster so that I could pick up Valaciunas. Denver is playing great and Jokic has no reason to play right now, so while he probably plays before the All-Star break, he might not. Peyton Watson is a star and is why you keep draft picks and invest in development. Will they pay him?

Bucks fans love to hear the hits.

JJJ for Paolo. Which team says no first?

Really important to see that the baiting of Stewart early has constantly led to Stewart getting a tech and not the other team. Getting Brown an early tech didn't charge much to the naked eye, but it changed completely the plan for Brown to bait him into getting tossed and hurting Detroit's defense.

Fantasy Basketball Pickups

1. Aaron Wiggins

Most people have dropped him by now and we don't have an actual read on the J-Dub injury, but he is a must add for the next few weeks at this point.

2. Anyone with a pulse for Dallas

Cursed franchise. B Williams/Klay/Naji/Nembhard/Christie/Powell?

Trade #3

I didn't get a chance to ask for McBride based on this one being the closest to the deadline, but the last five days have this one feeling very lopsided. I love Portland and Sharpe is super fun and has some really big games. Barnes is more consistency that I gave away in other deals

Trade #2
We had Edwards and I felt like Maxey was pretty equal value there. Also, this Edwards ankle stuff has been weird and they clearly don't need him to win games. Maxey is likely to have very big games in these upcoming B2Bs and will play no matter what happens with George and Embiid.

Here is the scoring for my league. I am not the manager, but Mike is and I hate Mike. He sucks. Like really sucks.

Anyways, our trade deadline just passed and based on injury concerns and certain teams resting guys, I turned over my whole roster. Below are the trades.

Ok, couple things I want to say.

I think the ICE raids happening in Minnesota are terrible and that the money being spent on ICE is much better spent elsewhere.

I think what Israel is still doing is also terrible. I understand that there is a history of atrocities between the two. This isn't good

Ok, favorite NBA fake trades. I have no real traction here, but we were spot calling ideas and it is too fun.

1. Schroder to the Lakers

2. LeBron to Detroit

3. Dillon Brooks to the Lakers

The bad NBA teams are becoming the revolting children from Matilda! Jazz with maybe the most impressive b2b wins of any team all season. Washington, Charlotte, Brooklyn, and New Orleans getting some things going this week. Now we just need the Pacers to win a game or two that they are competitive in

We are not to Christmas yet, which is the barometer as to when teams normally start to coalesce and become their real form, but some themes seem to have become more clear. Thunder and Spurs are very good and can survive injuries to stay good. We kind of knew that already.
December 15, 2025 at 5:00 AM
Dear NBA Santa Claus, for Christmas, if I had one wish, it would be to please give us a Blazers and Thunder playoff series. Thank you.

If I had two wishes, the first one, of course, and then send Trae Young and New Orleans first and NAW to Minnesota so All-NBA Jalen continues and ANT comes home.
