Some incredible trades.
I flat out don't get the Warriors trade. Wiggins has been considerably better than Butler for a season and a bit now in every facet of the game except team destroying pouting. Anderson is a good solid reserve, Schroder is a good solid starter level player, Waters wasn't a bad bench guy either and they're giving up the pick and giving him 110m over the next two years. It's actually somehow an even worse trade than the Luka trade and that's saying something, credit to the Heat though, somehow they managed to devalue an asset so much that it became more valuable than it was before starting the devaluation process, proving that perhaps you can polish a turd into something nicer.
Hornets continue to Hornet. Williams was a really good center and they get a decent reserve type in Knecht, who plays the same position as 2 of their 3 best players already play and those pick swaps aren't nearly what they were a couple of days ago when the Lakers didn't have a top 5 player for the next decade on the books (actually shocked the Lakers didn't trade those earlier if they were intending to). Hornets basically banking on the Mavs being right about Luka... Also why do teams continually keep bailing the Lakers out...
The Ingram trade another case of why? It's Indiana's pick, so not likely to be good. I guess it's better than letting him walk but surely could have done a sign and trade or kept him, not really sold on giving away an all-star calibre player for essentially nothing, especially for a team that's actually loaded with talent and just needs to hire a new training department.
I can't recall a trade deadline where so many teams were selling so incredibly low on assets, the Warriors on the flipside going for the extreme overpay so they could remain irrelevant.
Definitely makes things interesting.

Forgot to switch Buzelis and Salaun around so hopefully Giannis can play the last two games. Okongwu hold excellent so far but work needed for Barnes to catch Edwards. Durant was also considered last round for that spot so will be interesting to see the difference between Barnes and Durant come the end of the round.
Should be able to progress through another round of the Eliminator

I stumbled across this the other night ...
- the most ridiculous reasons a player was out ...
- I recall the PG one after the too much coffee one as I had him at the time ...
- not included as probably not "ridiculous" but I also had Mitchell for this one

Cunningham is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers with a right ankle sprain.
I'm sure you are the only person with Giannis as well. Very unlucky...
That said, Eliminator does come down to luck a lot of the time, multiple years I've been beaten by someone I outscored pretty much every other round. It seems to rarely be won by the #1 overall, and often not by a top 10 entrant, which is what you would expect. I guess it is expected in the lead up to all stars some of the bigger guns won't take any chances, which could be why he's being more cautious.
