Accept. I'm transitioning towards a retool and think Book is a great guy to build around. Know I'm losing a lot of points this year and this probably throws me out of contention status but I'm thinking more longterm here. Kessler is whatever but EJ could be cool. Thanks for the surprisingly easy talks Loren.
Lidell to G league.

Approve, makes sense for both teams direction but especially like for Knicks who gets the best long term asset while giving up two guys likely entering their twilight years.

Approve.
I like this for the Knicks. Having seen the value that Bron and Rozier have returned in the past I think this is a nice haul. Terry didn’t have Lamelo and shoots like 13%. LeBron is consistently unavailable and not getting younger. Also potentially coming off a deep playoff run.
Bigger issue for me is that I’m not sure this moves the needle on Thunder as a competitor.
Regardless, fun deal and I see logic all around even if I disagree with some of it. Good work getting something interesting done guys

Approve!
Heading into year 4 in this league and I still don't understand the direction that Loren is taking his franchise, but it sure is a fun rollercoaster to watch.
I'm typically not a fan of volume shooters in our format but Booker is one of a handful with peripheral numbers that warrant his place as a fantasy stud. Good work from Sood.
The West feels pretty open next year and maybe OKC can make a jump with this move and a few follow-ups, but its risky to bet on the health of 39-year-old LeBron.

Yeah home run for sood. i get the booker isnt fantasy ideal in this kinda league but ur giving up 40 year old lebron for 25 year old booker. i actually think that kessler edwards and liddell go unnoticed but cheaky steals in the deal by sood as well.
pass
