mavs are weird as per usual

luka tossing lobs to deandre and dennis smith jr doing dunks with his small hands is...its not a playoff team but itll be fun

yeah they won't be great but that's a team i would watch for sure

huh what no we need him

Note: The Celtics cannot acquire a player like Anthony Davis because of the Rose rule. Boston is allowed to trade for only one player (Kyrie Irving) that was signed with the Rose rule.

anthony davis isn't getting traded this offseason so i'm not sure why this is news

other than that it's a really dumb clause in the cba

but like when is it ok for them to get him the nba rules are hard

on what date will the celtics acquire brow

if they trade kyrie or sign him to a new contract before acquiring a.d. this clause no longer applies

so they will trade kyrie for brow, i will miss him but life is full of difficult decisions

words of wisdom

i'm irrationally psyched that the sign 'n trade is back, baby

i feel like dre jordan shd go to a good team like whats the point of him playing out the remainder of his prime for a rebuilding mavs

what good team wants deandre?

idk it doesnt have to be like the best team but at least one looking at the playoff u know

if bron were to stay w the cavs i think dre cld help them alot (not enough to be the celtics)

(why bron is gonna leave)

when bron leaves the cavs should be honest and contract themselves

its the right thing to do

demolish their arena light the river on fire and split town

dj would be fine on the cavs but i have no idea what the path to acquiring him would be.

the wiz could trade wing depth for him; i don't hate that?

yeah i support him on the wiz tho itd prob still turn out depressing and weird cause its the wiz

oh yeah for sure

dre seems like a chill positive guy he shdnt have to endure that

the nuggets should get DJ but for cheap, who says no

looking at the clips salary situation and they seem uhhh

dont the nuggs have a center

dj probably says no b/c he doesn't want to back up jokic

that being said if the nuggets want to make an even less logical roster than the one they already have who am i to stop them

its kind of beautiful it its own way

hey faried finally comes off the books after this season, maybe hell finally get traded

what happened to that guy exactly seems like he just faded away

if malone really is intent on giving jokic time at the 4, DAJ >> plumlee

I’m not really srs tho tbf

game sort of passed faried by. tough to be a big guy who can’t pass shoot or play defense in today’s game

yeah that's fair, plus i guess he relied on energy and explosion so much which have prob withered some w/ time

Kuzma, Ingram, Hart and two-first round picks for Kawhi … WHO SAYS NO?

the elephant in the room is kawhi playing only 9 games last season due to a leg injury of unknown provenance

+being a team killer

+you could sign him as a free agent in one year

+being a team killer

― sprout god (lag∞n)

if the spurs are actually culpable for any of this bs kawhis camp should have leaked details by now

Ok good I’m not the only one who would be extremely nervous about acquiring kawhi

There’s some chance he’s just never that good again right

missing a full season for any injury other than a broken bone is nagl

also kawhi is 27 tomorrow. happy birthday

Do we know for sure that the injury kept him off the court and not whatever behind the scenes aggro with the team?

I remember Parker and Ginobili intimating that he was healthy enough to play

Either way, nagl. I think he’ll never be the same.

Boston is allowed to trade for only one player (Kyrie Irving)

re: the injury, if you buy what kawhi's camp and doctors say, the spurs med staff misdiagnosed his injury as tendinopathy when it's actually ossification and therefore requires a totally different treatment, including more rest than what tony parker had (who DID have tendinopathy). so, if that's right, the spurs may have risked exacerbating his injury and isaiah thomasing him into getting re-injured before a contract year. if that's true, and various spurs reps were taking your injury news as basically made up or exaggerated or whatever, you might be kinda pissed and feel betrayed

+you could sign him as a free agent in one year

not necessarily. if LAL gets 2 max dudes this summer, they're capped out. if they can trade for him they can add 2 FAs plus him plus a bunch of minimum contracts.
