Folks, do you remember when I wrote 5000 words over the course of 12 hours about the [NBA Trade Deadline](http://www.sbnation.com/nba-trade-rumors)? I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember it, because it gave me (and former face of Canis Hoopus and victim of my ravings Jack Borman) a migraine.
I have not learned a lesson and am daring to sit at my computer during this outrageous heat wave that has my apartment at easily above 100 degrees and leaves me with no choice but to keep my shower running on cold all day in a hope that it will help me.
This could go many different ways. I could hit pick four and find myself at a loss, my brain shrinking like a raisin in the blue lighted sun-lighted hell. Alternatively, I could give the people what they want. I could reminisce on my good draft takes like “Tyrese Haliburton is the second best player in the 2020 draft class” or “Jalen Williams is a better prospect than Jabari Smith Jr.” Alternatively, I could remember that I had Malachi Flynn as a lottery talent and thought Sidy Cissoko would be a better value than any non-Wemby pick.
Still, it’s fun to hang out, and it’s always fun to write. So please, join me in our absurd recap of the most insane night of the NBA year. Outside of the opening of free agency. Or the trade deadline. OK cut that.
Let’s just have some fun. See you guys at 8 PM EST.
