But... why. I mean, I'm not even talking about matching salaries I mean like, why would you just give something up to rent Rose. Even accepting that he could actually help a team like... help which team do what at what price? Help the Timberwolves not make the playoffs for a second round pick?

Rose isn't a terrible option for a team that needs an extra scorer. He's probably worth around what any other short term rental contract player is worth.

Which is nothing unless you're a contender or a fringe playoff team. Or maybe if you think you're one bench scorer from a playoff series win.

Nah. Evan Turner has been great in the 2nd half of the season. The real problems Portland has is: lovely guard defense, and spotty outside shooters. (Turner, Aminu, Harkless)

You can't run a Stotts-fense aka Carlisle-ball with average at best 3 point shooters and no real inside presence.
I'm hoping Jusuf Nurkic is a better fit for the team because all teams have to do is pressure the guards and without an outlet to pass to, it leads to a lot of broken as gently caress plays. Turner with his playmaking skills actually allows for that to happen less.

This is so weird to me. We are talking about a league where 2 teams signed Rondo after he literally gave up in the middle of a playoff series. Either these GMs are all full of poo poo or they have some dirt on Boogie that we don't know about.

I assume the NBA is way worse than the NFL at keeping secrets but here's a very old reddit thread that's fun to read because it's a ton of people saying "gosh darn the Patriots organization I want to dislike them but Aaron Hernandez is such a classy dude"

I have no idea how real this is, but this sorta seems dumb for both teams. LA would clearly "win" it, but Butler is 27, his window is now. They'd be a 35 win team next season unless they make a huge signing, otherwise they'd be a couple years away from Ingram (19 now) and Russell (20) being ready for a deep playoff run, but then Butler will be declining.

Lakers would have money next year, but they still have Deng and Mozgov under some pretty big money so they wouldn't be able to completely load up. I think the FA thing is pretty risky unless they have an agent telling them Durant or Griffin are going to jump over.

It's a few of the front offices getting a stick up their rear end about 'winning culture' and ignoring the hundred million counter-examples. There are still teams that made "objectively better" offers for Cousins and execs who expressed shock that he was traded away like that.
