    Sounds like VAN was convinced that Hughes would leave in FA to go play with his brothers. That would be a concerning facet of the deal if there's any truth to that rumor. It does sound like everyone wants out of VAN so there is that.

    I'm not disrespecting Rossi as a player. I'm only referring to how big of value gap there is between Rossi and the other assets we moved (Buium & 2026 FRP). The only real concern for me about moving him is we depleted our depth at C even further. Now THIS is disrespect:

    After letting the dust settle a little, no disrespect to Rossi and Ohgren but this trade really boils down to: VAN in: Zeev Buium & late 2026 FRP MIN in: Quinn Hughes That swings my opinion of the deal closer towards the stance of what 1992 and Greasy have been saying. The entire Wild fanbase...

    Dec. 12: Wild land Hughes in a December blockbuster Everything was quiet Friday ... until it wasn't. Because that's when the first blockbuster trade of the season happened, with an expected name going to an unexpected place. The Vancouver Canucks traded captain and star defenseman Quinn Hughes...

    I agree...Hughes is absolutely a superstar. I'd probably feel a little better about the deal if he had more than 1.5 years on his current deal and if Guerin hadn't completely botched the KK extension.

    That's true...and only adds to Guerin's inadequacies as a GM since he was the guy that drafted both of them in the 1st Round.

    Tons of credible steam that DDV could be headed back to the Knicks. Sounds like Deuce McBride or Mitchell Robinson would be coming back but nearly impossible to complete with both teams at the Apron unless a 3rd team gets involved. Giving up DDV for a C like Robinson makes no sense unless...

    Yikes. I think Billy's been hitting the bottle harder than usual. Absolutely hate to see Buium go and only 1.5 years left on Hughes' contract. Hughes is a stud when healthy but this team desperately needed another Top 6 forward (preferably a C) much more than help at D. Not much left for trade...

    More on Coby White: Bulls' Coby White decision is now crystal clear (just not in the way they hoped) This surely was not Chicago's plan. White, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, didn't make his 2025-26 season debut until Nov. 16. He's only played in seven games since then. While...

    Regardless of which of us is correct, it sounds like a move is almost a certainty with all of the Connelly/Wolves trade rumors floating around. Reports are coming out that Conley's career could potentially be over with his Achilles tendinopathy getting significantly worse in the past week or so.

    So don't start Alvarado. He'll still end up playing as many minutes as DDV at PG if not more. He doesn't start for NOP because they're giving their rookie (Fears) a chance to develop with their starters. If you compare overall #'s, Alvarado is clearly the better player right now. NOP also have...

    Agreed. I do think it's possible that a team desperate for WR help could offer him $25M/year with the upcoming Cap increases. If the Vikings offer was around $20M/year, I could teeter in either direction on the type of deal.

    The scene in the dance club with Paul Oakenfold's "Ready Steady Go" blaring in the background absolutely thumps. I'm convinced the writers from the "John Wick" franchise borrowed that model of techno music matched with extreme violence for their films. That was a brutally talented list of...

    DDV isn't a PG...and neither is White. How many games have you watched of White this year? He's a small SG and high volume chucker that can't guard a fire hydrant. There's a reason CHI wants to dump him and wants nothing to do with signing him to a $30M/year long-term extension. One of the...

    It certainly wasn't Oscar worthy but my favorite Cruise role was the hitman in "Collateral" because it was the only evil character he's ever portrayed in a movie that I can recall. There's something to be said about actors accustomed to playing heros taking a walk on the dark side. I always...

    Depending on what Addison is looking for on his next deal, I'd have no issues moving him for the right return. Drafting a guy like Sarratt in the 2nd Round would do nicely as a replacement. BUF would seem like a potential suitor considering the WR busts they've drafted in the 1st Round lately.

    Apparently, Connelly been talking to NOP about Alvarado and Bey and the rumored deal looks good on paper: MIN in: Bey ($6.2M) & Alvarado ($4.5M) NOP in: Dillingham ($6.5M), TSJ ($2.7M), Miller ($2.2M) & 2027 Pick Swap * Bey is a versatile 3&D player that can play/defend three (3) positions...

    I call BS on this particular trade offer even though I believe we probably have inquired about him along with Irving, Derrick White, Holiday and Murray. White is not a PG or primary ballhandler, he's terrible on defense, a poor distributor, turnover prone and he's a high usage player. All of...
