Knicks also send Iggy Brazdeikis to Philadelphia in the three-way deal, per sources.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 25, 2021

oh damn Iggy Brazdeikis

I don’t get the portland deal really

t. ferg to the knicks, it's over for the league

Don’t think of it as losing an Izzy Brazdeikis, think of it as gaining a T Ferg

Or even an Iggy Brazdeikis

Nuggets all of a sudden don’t have that many guards. Big moment for Facu Nation

rise up

Oklahoma City now has a projected 34 draft picks over the next 7 years.

17- First
17- Second

they're not actually gonna trade these picks. half of the players they draft will start a new franchise in seattle

i was gonna say

that’s like two extra teams

thats insane

the gordon trade is interesting... not sure what the returns have been on hampton but that's basically two firsts for aaron gordon who has mostly only been theoretically good his entire career. there is definitely a roster fit there tho

i think the portland trade makes sense... gary trent is a nice player but he looked limited to me in the playoffs last year. norm runs pretty hot and cold but his highs are much higher than trent's imo

I think the Nugs feel comfortable overpaying for Gordon a little if they thinking is he's the missing piece to really make their roster click. They are contenders

it's not clear to me what gordon is good at, exactly, aside from being athletic. his three pt shooting has shot up this year but idk what the value of that is given what's been going on around the league this year. his 2 pt % is kind of ghastly for someone w/ his athletic ability, he seems like a decent defender. i'm not sure it's a huge overpay exactly but i'm also not sure how much it moves the needle overall, altho he's almost certainly an upgrade over milsap, jaymichael etc. i don't fault them for doing it... i think he just leaves me kinda cold. but maybe orlando is such a bad basketball situation that you can't really judge him w/in that context

in any event, pretty great trade deadline for orlando

Are the 3 best players to move so far all exiting Orlando?

seeing some bulls fans i follow talking themselves into this vucevic thing..... sad

denver didnt get gordon for cheap but seems like he should be a good fit there, good switchable defender who can hit open 3s and attack closeouts hes a quality starter, i guess the question is if he can figure out how to and is happy with a complimentary role, obvs it was always kind of a free for all in orlando, the thing hes really just not good at is creating his own offense, but he wont have to in denver

xp i'm seeing media people who like it too! isn't it the exact type of trade we've seen fuck up a team over and over?

i wouldve been happy of the celtics had gotten gordon for a first and a recent draft pick, suspect the magic didnt like anyone on the celtics roster as much as hampton tho

I like the gordon trade, despite the questions around his ceiling as you guys have said he’s a good roster fit, it gives the nuggs a really solid, athletic, good shooting lineup around jokic which is what I think the future has to be

Hawks are trading Rajon Rondo to the Clippers for Lou Williams, source tells ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 25, 2021

hmm

ok lol

rondo been gaming this system for like ten years

clippers flailing

Clippers also send two future second-round picks to the Hawks in the deal, per source.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 25, 2021

Wtf does Lou will not get along with kawhi or something

worth a shot. lou doesn't help them much in the playoffs and maybe rondo will decide to try.

lolclippers for eternity

lou is not good is the thing

i'm cool with the hawks cutting lou. he went to my rival high school anyway. go generals

so lowry staring contest resolves itself and then we're done?

the more I think about the gordon deal the more I like it

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkić will make his return to the lineup on Friday vs. Orlando. He's back from a right wrist fractured. Sources tell : Jusuf Nurkić
