Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

these trade possibilities are really fascinating, as is Larry Sanders hitting the FA market

amar'e to the mavs

you know what would be an interesting big man combo? Enes Kanter and Larry Sanders.

isnt that substanially the same as kanter/gobert?

gonna be hard to get them on the same team because kanter is gone

he might not be, albeit only because of his reps' unrealistic expectations

read someone saying its unlikely sanders will sign/play this year

ya sanders should probably just chill

re: kanter, woj sez utah want a solid young player and a first rounder at least, so actually they're being more unrealistic than he is...like in what world is enes fucking kanter worth that much if he can't protect the rim particularly well

it's good that Amare already planned an exit - i hated him being injured and sucking up salary cap space but he can be good on a team with less pressure on his role

what the heck

did not know it2 was close to the chopping block, the draymond thing is also interesting http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--suns-determined-to-sign-dragic--barring-blockbuster-trade-offer-195235888.html

Remember: beware the intersection of woj and Pistons sources

This long break is not cool at all

Otm, very depressed rn

ya terrible idea

i checked the sched to see if there were any games tonight and it just said "lol right"

"as if" it said

"no games... ever (until thursday)"

how about Tyreke Evans? His box score numbers are very very similar to last year’s and yet he’s had one of the large improvements in his RPM. So what gives? Well, a little digging and you find out that Evans has played the most minutes on the Pelicans with Anthony Davis7. So that ought to help a bit.

um isnt the whole point of yr stat

Goran Dragic's agent informed the Suns tonight that Dragic will not sign an extension in Phoenix this summer, league sources tell Yahoo.

dragic on the move?

The Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and New York Knicks are among preferred destinations for Goran Dragic, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

lol goran all about living his best life

lol go to the lakers bro have fun w that

he's either a complete moron or is looking for scrill rather than rings

seems more like he just wants to live in a cool city

tho those are also the teams w the worst point guards

and all but miami are going to be irrelevant for the next 3 to 5 years

Phoenix is cool :(

miami will prob be good again in not too long but the other two are cursed for their past sins and rightfully so imho

any team has an opportunity get good real fast w the coming salary cap jump, the thing holding ny and la back is their tendency to make bad decisions, which maxing dragic out wld be

free isiah thomas

so do they keep dragic for now, letting him walk later, and deal it2, or deal dragic for fuck-it reasons? or stand pat

I mean no way they deal them both if they still think that 8th seed is get-able (which it is, in theory)

gotta be a way to get boogie on the suns

Dragic's age doesn't quite fit the team's arc, will be interesting to see what they get

vh1 vj on a mtv vj team

isnt that substanially the same as kanter/gobert?

you know I don't know how much those two play together? seems like it's always Favors/Kanter or Favors/Gobert

82games isn't working so I can't check easily

thered be a spacing issue but kanter still has more range than favors

there better be some cool and wacky trades in the next few days cmon man

i defo wouldnt sign dragic to a long contract. hes got some injuries, hes 28, and his game relies on driving inside and getting calls. players of his type fade hard and early. and the % of his possesions that end with free throws has already delcined this season iirc

how did the kings become the most delusional team in sports

i assume dragic's motive here is that he figures the lakers and knicks are the only teams with enough cap space and desperation to offer him the max this offseason and if he can get to them now he can get even more money?

also it seems like dragic might just dislike the US outside of metropolises with sizable euro populations? it's understandable, there can't be tons of yugoslavians in phoenix

who wants to live in Phoenix anyway

how did the kings become the most delusional team in sports
