Week 4 Rumor Mill

[edited by Nels]

TEAM RUMOR

New York continue to pop up in trade rumours, however the young core is by all reports “untouchable”

Klay Thompson returning for W5. Are the Nuggets the most talented team in the league?

Memphis toying with a 6 man rotation after valuable advice given in public forum.

Hawks emerge as suitor for Venderbilt. Will they pay the price to secure his services?

New Orleans Gm demanding excellence from “under performing” pels who now sit 7th in the west with a 10-6 record. Will high expectations = excellent results?

The magic start their second losing streak of the season, dropping 3 in a row after the initial turn of form Kyrie brought upon arrival. Will the magic continue to look for deals?

Brook Lopez reportedly available for first round picks. League interpreted the cryptic trade block post as Lopez would have first round picks attached to him in an outgoing trade. Since the initial misunderstanding was clarified, zero inquires have been made about the 7 foot speedster.

Jordan Poole remains on the block for a big man. There are suitors for the 6moty candidate, will trade talks heat up as week 9 approaches?

Kawhi Leonard returning for Christmas then off 2025? Will a buyer emerge?

“Anyone contributing to our success is officially on the block. Phone lines are always open if you have any picks left.” With an ever growing list of picks, the league looks on in distress.

Shams absolutely flying high, “I knew we’d win the title when we added Drummond.”

Warriors still chasing an illusive first win under GM Daz’s leadership after narrowly falling short against the Mavs in the Owen Wilson cup. When asked about the rusult, GM Daz could only reply, “Wow”

All I want for Christmas is week 9.

1 week to go til we’re in full time GM mode. Prepare your Brandon Ingram offers.

GM Craig takes biggest scalp of the season, grinding out an 8 point win over early title favourite Washington Wizards. When asked about his team's performance Craig has 2 words- "JA MORANT!"

Philly boasting more Xs on their roster page than Kim Kardashian's dating profile. What will they look like at full strength?

35 points on Jae Crowder. Worth every penny.

A red faced and sweaty GM Laddas seen fanning himself with a hand towel

"Phooooweeeee, Deni. Phooooweeeee. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm."

Disgruntled ex Toby seen publically venting about Avdija:

"Deni did what with Laddas? I was asking him to do that for years.."

"Jimmy Butler on the block"

*Phone rings*

"Hi, you've reached the answering service of ShayHoops. I can't get to the phone right now but if you leave a message, I'll have Ben get back to you soon. Alternatively, inbox him directly. Cheers, bye."

Utah agree to host Christmas drinks with Toronto and Washington

Toronto ontrade asset to Utah

Washington trade asset to Toronto.

GM Vitty lodges complaint via email with 2k Sports. "As per my last email, when will Jokic play like a 98?"

Dallas Mavs late to childcare drop off but has decided to take the year off Cam Johnson. When asked about the deal LJ was quoted as saying, "Took me ages to find the accept button on the site. Lol."

GM Klemm to begin childcare duty on Cam Johnson for 2024-25 after putting his hand up to mind him for the year in annual trade with Dallas.

Has Ethan saved the Bucks from himself? 2-0 to start the week.

CJ McCollum returns and immediately climbs to top spot on 6MOTY list
