@btrowland.bsky.social any buzz that ATL is his “preferred destination”?

bsky.app/profile/sham...
FROM SHAMS:

The Houston Rockets are waiving center Jock Landale ahead of his July 7 guarantee date, sources tell ESPN. Landale is expected to sign with his preferred destination upon clearing waivers.

Naz Reid's raise makes keeping both Julius Randle and Nickeil Alexander-Walker costly without reducing payroll.

For example, Randle opting in and Alexander-Walker re-signing for $14.1 million (mid-level) puts the Wolves over the second apron and increases tax by $65 million.

@btrowland.bsky.social gicen SAS’s situation (Wemby et al + #2) what do you think it would take for ATL to get #14 if all of Bryant/Coward/CMB were available at 13 and you could get 2 of them? 22+ a future 1st + Kobe? Would you try to do that and would you make that specific deal?
June 23, 2025 at 11:53 PM
@btrowland.bsky.social what do you make of the @jakelfischer.bsky.social and @keithsmithnba.bsky.social reporting that ATL is being very active in trying to use the DM TPE? What forms could that take, and IYO would would the *optimal* outcome of that execution be?

Goddamnit, #BrokenTimes, your headline implies LA started this. It is not a war. It is an attack on the city and its residents by the fascist regime. Headlines like this give their crimes cover.

The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

Marines deployed to Los Angeles carried out the detention of a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump.

“He has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined. He seems more willing at the moment to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.”

The story of today’s parade: Trump is a warmonger, but only against his own people.

They should’ve figured this out well before they deployed the marines to Los Angeles. The latest from the Trump regime’s shoot, ready, aim playbook:

📌 The Pentagon was scrambling to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with using force against citizens on American soil.

Absolutely grotesque abuse of government power. Lying to educators in order to entrap children. No wonder they want to hide their identity.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement.

What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.

We won. This is from my closing statement.

There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

@btrowland.bsky.social two Qs:
1) Given last night’s events, do you think Jaylen Brown is a realistic ATL target?

2) can you explain the mechanics of the 2026 pick swap between ATL/UTAH/CLE for 2026 in layman’s terms? Wondering how valuable this chip might be in trade scenarios this summer

@btrowland.bsky.social @dantefromthe404.bsky.social given the picks issue in 26/27 re: SAS + the looming cap issue when Dyson et al have to be paid, do you think ATL will be looking for another chance to buy a 2nd in this draft and try to find a cheap future rotation player?
