The clown dude is saying that Hbas have two trades completed but not sure when they will be announced and no info on who is involved..
Friday night can't get here fast enough....

I am certain Francis never expected this in the days leading up to the ED. He prolly expected the usual "take my shit contract for 2nd round pick" bullshit, but the Price situation has thrown his entire plan he has been working towards the last 18 months. The minute he takes Price, he has to...
