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

Heard Javale was gonna get waived; Matt Armstrong placed on suicide watch

Afflalo is good good move for pdx who probably are in a good spot to swap a future pick for a player who is good now

Also he seems like the kind of dude who can just do whatever they need until nic batum joins the ranks of the living again

Love George Karl's first moving is getting his old security blanket dre miller, most predictable thing ever

the heat have supposedly offered two firsts for dragic

So did simmons just never bother to finish his trade value column or what

did anyone watch the tv show

rip Jerome Kersey :(

― Clay

RIP, you crazy diamond. I'll think about afflalo trade later. rn, Jerome deserves my thoughts.

Minnesota and Brooklyn are still awaiting Kevin Garnett's decision about waiving his no trade clause, league sources tell Yahoo.

#Sixers Brown: 'I would prefer not to comment' on type of player JaVale McGee is.

the nuggets got the 1st

wait maybe not

well they got a 1st for afflalo but also sent one to philly for javale

they sent the first they got from OKC in the mozgov/waiters trade

ESPN reporting Heat's pitch for Goran Dragic is Norris Cole, Josh McRoberts, Birdman and two first-round picks.

How do you not immediately say yes to this

it's not a great offer, honestly

yea cole is bad, mcbob is hurt, birdman is whatever, the picks are the most valuable asset i guess

a '17 miami first-rounder has a chance of being good but that's just about the only good thing in that package

if they make that trade they're basically just banking on the heat having a disaster season in 2017

mcbob has had multiple leg surgeries and still has 3 years left on his deal

he would fit phoenix's system well but i don't think the heat would feel bad at all about clearing that contract off the books

bird could help them though and it seems like if they get cole they're gonna re-route him (i saw okc or detroit on twitter)

McBob is a good player and only makes 5mil per season. Cole would go to Detroit anyway. Birdman is an expiring. The Heat could easily have a disaster season in 17.

Well, not an expiring, but still only 5mil next year and it's over. Plus he'd be a good backup for Len I think.

mcbob had a good year but a big man coming off foot and knee surgeries :-/

Yeah I guess.

I shouldn't be a GM. lol

it's not a bad deal of phx, two first rounders are two first rounders and bird is still useful

but it's not an overwhelmingly good trade or anything

couple picks and some serviceable players to unload a guy who doesn't want to be there and you won't get anything for in a few months seems fine

Yeah that was how I was thinking about it

goran did them a favor making this happen before the deadline, coulda stuck it to em once the season was done

Garnett waived his no-trade

kevin garnett!!!!!!

anything is possible

why is garnett doing this

he'd rather hang out with flip and watch the development of the yung wolves on the team he's gonna part-own soon than be miserable on the most depressing team in the league?

he could've taken a buyout and signed with a contender though

why would he rather be on the wolves than the clippers

Austin Rivers?

u can actually yell at wiggins

Oklahoma City has traded Reggie Jackson to Detroit

yaas stan

fuck it

Phoenix is finalizing a deal to send Goran Dragic to the Miami Heat, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

riles

pat riley style

KG wants to retire a wolf is all, he's hanging it up.

best trade deadline in years

i need this goran shirt, omg

xps to jordan: in a vacuum, i'm not sure why not the clips - like i saw he outright rejected that scenario, per woj - but with KG it could very well be some old beef with one of the other olds on the clippers, or pretty much anyone on that team

man..... minnesota trading a first round pick for thad young for KG's corpse will not be on the list of flip saunders notable accomplishments as GM

rationality isn't necessarily a strong suit of his
