this is crazy i dont think theres ever been a midseason makeover like this

got a hot insider tip coming in here folks plz dont disseminate outside this platform

...

You Have Been Yellow Carded By a Moderator: lebron to spurs is confirmed tho

uhh whyyy not trade smart cmon

Memphis had preferred either Marcus Smart in exchange for Evans and a second-rounder, or a first-round pick in exchange for Evans, but Boston was not willing to meet that price.

http://celticswire.usatoday.com/2018/02/08/source-tyreke-evans-marcus-smart-talks-stall-out-for-boston-celtics-nba-trade-deadline/

ayy bringing iso joe home okay

Boston remained pat at the deadline without making any trades and will target Joe Johnson in the buyout market, which is expected to be robust this season.

Re: Kings & Georgios Papagiannis. Going fishing for NBA centers in the draft is a cruel mistress.

iso joe wld be nice for them. smart straight up for evans i’m not sure i really bother.

they need scoring

smart is bad they shouldve done that deal

they’ll get some scoring from monroe and some buyout guy and i still want smart’s defense in a playoff series.

lebron is so fucking funny

hes compromising he allowed the cavs to bring on good players but then he gets perk

I’m impressed Lebron got the Cavs to give the Lakers enough cap space to sign both he and Paul George this summer. And not get a pick from them to do it.

the thing abt smart to his credit is he is a good playmaker and somehow manages to interest teams in his pick n rolls and make good plays out of them, and if you leave him totally open from three he will hit some shots, like u cld prob concoct a defense to take advantage of his limitations but its not as simple as just not guarding him on the perimeter, and tbf he does make an insane amount of winning defensive plays, also he is insane and terrible at scoring the basketball

yall have smart googles on, lookin like scotty brooks over there.

listen man i said i wanted him traded for tyreke but ive watched a shit ton of marcus smart basketball and i feel its my responsibility to accurately report on his basketball behaviors

Kemba Walker will replace @kporzee in the All-Star game, per NBA

you're a danny ainge plant who's just trying to up smart's trade value so danny can fleece some poor gm/franchise again. seen it too many times... all those words you spilled about Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder and IT.

these are outrageous and unfounded rumors i am immediately deleting all my online accounts

smart

i think the cavs are gonna miss not having wade for the playoffs. maybe he really is ready to retire after this season.

wade off the bench in the playoffs was definitely something i was looking forward to

could still happen. would love to see the heat eliminate the cavs tbh

*marcos red flags me*

beal should be ejected from the game for arguing that call

got kyrie right on the shooting arm then landed on top of him lol

goddamn i hate watching marcus morris play.

why didnt they trade him we dont deserve this

hopefully they move to more horford/monroe 4/5 lineups eventually, monroe has limitations but he's not going to iso for 20 seconds for no reason

he did it like twice as much tonight too cause he was playing his brother smh

otm it was pure dumbass behavior

yall have smart googles on, lookin like scotty brooks over there.

spursfan69 help me out here and yellowcard this rascal

Bryan Colangelo on Markelle Fultz:
"There's always a chance that he's going to be out there soon, and there's a chance that he's not going to play this year. I can't answer that question because we don't know the answer to that."#sixers

— Derek Bodner (@DerekBodnerNBA) February 9, 2018

was hoping to watch the new guys but they are not playing tonight

For those who’ve asked: Cavs starting Bron, JR, Calderon, TT, Cedi. Nance, Clarkson, Hill, Hood not yet officially ruled out, but highly unlikely they play
