Also, is that guy a legit reporter?
Agreed but I guess we will see. According to Chris Mannix the asking price is 2 All Stars and picks. In order for this deal to happen the Nets will have to move Simmons to get Mitchell. Who would want him at this point?

According to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, the Nets have set a high asking price for Durant, and they don’t seem willing to come down from it.
“Brooklyn’s asking price, rival executives familiar with the situation told Sports Illustrated, is steep: two All-Star caliber talents and a cache of draft picks,” Mannix wrote. “If a team doesn’t have that, one exec said, the response has been ‘well go out and get it.’”
Chet with 18 points (4/5 from 3), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks in 13 minutes or so in the first half. Pok just off shooting, but looking really solid at the point forward slot. Giddey has gotten so much stronger. Both Williams looking solid as well and Dieng has as few buckets. [Reply]

Edit: LOL, some badass tried to take it to the rim for a thunder dunk and chet sent it back.
Chet assist to Giddey for 3. Damn.
That was fun to watch. Chet looked great. He wasn't asked to be a real offensive force at Gonzaga but he was super efficient. Certainly looked the part tonight and Jalen Williams looks to be a proficient scorer.

Thunder may be able to make the playoffs.
PokePoke and Giddey have both taken the next step. It was almost shocking to see how confident Pok looked making plays for others. His shot will fall. [Reply]

I'm not gonna lie I'm not high on Poku at all. Hes skilled and he looks cool running around but I just dont know if he will ever get the ball in the basket efficiently. Hes young enough to figure it out but it hasn't been a great start for his career. [Reply]
The Lakers traded the one semi-useful young player they had for yet another aging asshole.
Talen Horton-Tucker for Patrick Beverly.
I am so very glad I pulled the ejection handle on this team when I did. LeBron's signed an extension so they seem to be inclined to double down on just being a pack of hateable mercenaries.
Guess I'll be back in a few years. There's just absolutely zero reason to be interested in this franchise. [Reply]
I imagine after what happened to Chet you can bet every contract will have language in there about not playing non NBA games like what the NFL does. [Reply]
