    I liked him coming out. These euro players can take a while to reach their potential in the league, kind of like Dragic.

    Also How bad would it look if Lebron went to Houston and still got beat down by GS? The “he needs more help!?” Crowd would destroy him.

    If riley were to swing for the fences at the deadline, what star guard is realistically available? And what kind of package would we have to offer?

    Just gonna leave this here:

    Team LeBron injuries ahead of the ASG: DeMarcus Cousins
    John Wall
    Kevin Love
    Kristaps Porzingis

    So the Wizards are starting to implode right now. Wall is at odds with his teammates and they're intimating that they're playing better as a team without him. If they were crazy enough, I'd call them about Dragic and Winslow.

    With how crazy this nba offseason and season has been I’m expecting something big to go down. I definitely see Cleveland making moves. Hopefully we get the better of some team.

    Maybe with the porzingis injury, we can do a Whiteside/Dion for porzingis/thjr? I’m sure knicks fans would love that.

    Clippers gave Lou Williams 3 years. He's now one of the most valuable trade pieces in recent NBA memory.

    So a rebuilding team, trades away a cheap 23 year old center (Willy Hernangomez) who made all rookie team, for 2 future (unprotected) 2nd round picks and expiring Johnny O Bryant (and they’ll get a 1.5M trade exception to go with the 2.4M they had from the Anthony deal). This, the day after your franchise player tears an ACL and the silver lining wa sthought to be “Well, at least now they’ll have a reason to play Willy”. FML.

    My thoughts on that idea...

    But I wouldn’t move THJR for BAm and Tyler Johnson with the Knicks using the 3.9M in trade exceptions. That should work cap wise :)

    No thanks lol wall’s contract is ridiculous. I like the player i definitely dont like a contract that starts at 37 million in 2019 and ends in 46 million at 2023. 3 million increase per season

    If your name isnt curry, Giannis, harden, russ, lebron or durant, i dont want any player making over 30 million here.

    We don’t want this guy but are willing to bend the knee for him to get porzingis. We just have to get him out of hiding first. I heard he’s curled in the fetal position sucking his thumb. Ya know, After what happened to him.

    The amount of James Johnson isolations we were subjected to in the 4th quarter was absolutely mind boggling.

    My god do the one year wonder signings of JJ and Waiters look terrible now. And the TJ contract might be worst of all

    Survived the 4 game road trip (4-0). No Ariza, No Gordon, and No Anderson.

    Harden, Capela, and CP3 improve to 26-1 when playing together.

    I said it a few months ago and I'll say it again, I was wrong and the Cavs got decimated by that trade. The Lakers, on the other hand, are actually going for it this off-season. Did LeGM just clear Lakers cap space for himself?

    Holy **** I called a trade to bring Babbitt back a while ago. We only lost Okaro White to do it.

    Isaiah's contract is up at the end of this year. Lakers don't have to resign him. LeBron can still go.

    The Heat certainly need more 3 pt shooting, but they need a wing. I'm not sure Babbit does a whole lot, and I'm a little frustrated (but not surprised) that they're adding instead of subtracting. I hope this doesn't result in losing Ellington for nothing in the offseason. I guess they can still make moves to dump players in the offseason, but it's time for these guys to look towards the future and stop putting band-aids on a mediocre team.

    We traded and injured guy for a healthy one on an expiring contract. Obviously not a huge move but a good one that costs nothing.

    We’ll see if anything larger happens. There are a bunch of teams interested in DeAndre which means Hassan has a market should they want to explore it

    Cavs get Rodney Hood and George Hill. Trade Crowder, Rose and Shumpert in separate deals.

    Dear god the Cavs just compeletely cleated the decks

    Stephen A. just reported that Heat and Cavs have had some discussions regarding Wade....

    Let’s do it. I’d rather go down with him than without him

    I'm not complaining about the move itself. Okaro White is an end of the bench player. That, plus rumors that they're trying to get Belineli signals that they are adding rather than subtracting, though. It is what it is, they'll probably get into the playoffs and could give a team a good series. It could be worse. I just think it would have been nice to reset. There's always the offseason, though.
