CJ is an awesome dude and basketball player.



I'm sure Mozgov will be able to find a good daytime bartender in NY.

What the gently caress
There's no way that's the best offer they got for Russell even with a mozgov salary dump

I guess Magic is all in on building a future 2nd round exit team/ but who knows what poo poo has already been agreed upon

Lonzo Ball, George, Ingram, Randle, /TARIK BLACK
with tyler Ennis/clarkson/nance/deng/lopez

depending on randle and ingrams development that still leaves them several players away from the playoffs

the Nets get to cut costs even further and suddenly have a pretty decent backcourt of the future and present with Lin/Kilpatrick Russell/Lavert

Today I officially cast my vote for Harden (even though he had 800 TOVs).

DeimosRising posted:

I wouldn't be too worried either, but the [Warriors] will be worse next year barring a really lucky signing...

I believe next season could be their peak season if the core maintains 100% health. They didn't even have a good RC% this season. The Durant/Curry/Klay/Green quartet could undergo further gelling that could put them as the #1 SRS and/or MOV team of all-time.

How good were Rik Smits and Zyldraunus Ilgauskus, I remember them both being way too good in a way that seemed unfair, because they were tall and made jumpshots during my chyldhode

Shaq > Smits. It's why the Pacers didn't win in 2000.

I'm not sure I understand it either unless they think they can get George and are trying to win now.

Or maybe it's to free up money for next offseason but why not just wait till then to dump Mozgov?

I know it's gonna be boring and nobody will care but Portland almost certainly is going to move someone with their picks and I am really excited to see it.

I care so much. I know Paul Allen's not there, but I keep looking out my window at work at the moda center trying to will him to action. I can't wait for Meyers and Turner to be gone. I'm still hoping they can swing a CJ for a star trade. What's up Kristaps??

Because they are shedding a real bad contract in Mosgov, and they are planning for George to be there this year or next year, so they want a competitive team and Lopez is a real real good player still.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

They had to include Russell to shed Mozgov's contract. They need that money for PG.

The Knicks seem like a dumb enough team to ask for Kawhi in a trade. I don't think Kristaps moves, their price seems too high.

i just don't think the spurs have any tradable assets for a high level player

pau's new contract will be designed to retain patty/simmons and plan for 2018

note: i just don't see them trading danny green either after his team friendly deal, corporate knowledge, and being one of the best wing defenders in the league who can also sort of shoot 3s

So they'll probably waive Deng as well.

No PG this year though without giving up Ingram or the #2 pick.

So basically they're giving up the #2 overall pick for a contract that almost everyone thought was bad and signed on the first day of free agency as the first center signed.
