The clock has struck July and the NBA’s great bazaar of human potential bursts wide open. We are stepping directly into the fantastical pages of Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, where the surreal becomes ordinary, and the marvelous town of Macondo is reborn in the neon glow of free agency negotiation rooms. Just as Melquíades brought wondrous, reality-bending inventions to a remote village, general managers are now wielding trade assets like ancient alchemy, trying to transmute draft capital into golden championship banners.

Who will find their own beautiful, isolated paradise? And who is destined for a century of basketball solitude? The anticipation for the magic realism of the NBA open market is absolutely exhilarating.

Excellent!

TY also for explaining the Josh Hart contract. I remember at the time you described it as “designed to be traded” but I didn’t understand why/how
