if rubio didn't have the injury i presume this trade never happens?

yeah he was playing great for them and fit well
― call all destroyer, Monday, 7 February 2022 03:23 (two years ago) link
i don’t know, they’re different players who do much different things. they may have needed to figure out a different way to match the salary but still a possibility they go after a scoring wing
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 February 2022 03:31 (two years ago) link
rubio will probably re-sign in cleveland, theyre basically just losing the ability to pay him while he recovers from injury

The Brooklyn Nets are open to a Ben Simmons and Seth Curry package in a James Harden trade, per @BillSimmons (Via the Bill Simmons Podcast | h/t B/R) pic.twitter.com/mimwpP6YXK— NBA Central (@TheNBACentral) February 7, 2022

I'd prefer Danny Green go instead of Curry but I think I would ultimately do that. Curry got killed on D late in games against Atlanta last year.

― Spottie, Monday, 7 February 2022 22:05 (two years ago) link
see this is why i never trusted the idea that the knicks actually had found a competent front office. no such thing is possible w/ james dolan as owner
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 February 2022 22:17 (two years ago) link
I really like McCollum as a player and as a person, but the Blazers need to move him if they can find a trade that makes any kind of sense.

lol what the hell are the knicks going to do with cj mccollum
― call all destroyer, Monday, 7 February 2022 22:38 (two years ago) link
if the portland front office actually has a plan apart from dumping salary and going deeper into the tank, it should be obvious by mid-July. if no clear plan emerges, this just looks like the prelude to dame moving on and another rebuild.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Monday, 7 February 2022 22:49 (two years ago) link
can’t wait to see how dirt cheap the market for cj is after waiting five years for things to somehow just work out, feels like some matching salary and a second rounder?

Atlanta and New York have joined New Orleans in the bidding for CJ McCollum, sources said. Plus more details on Portland, Indiana, Sacramento, Boston, Milwaukee and others around the league in our latest @BR_NBA trade deadline notebook: https://t.co/DQOSlNUnaV— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) February 8, 2022

New York remains active in exploring avenues to bolster its roster and compete for the Play-In tournament while clearing room for Cam Reddish in Tom Thibodeau's rotation. haha I love this, Thibs rotation is so set in stone that you literally have to wait until someone is traded or retires to get minutes
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 8 February 2022 13:51 (two years ago) link
Why would you trade for him if you're not going to play him? It's just nuts.
― removing bookmarks never felt so good (PBKR), Tuesday, 8 February 2022 13:54 (two years ago) link
sounds like the front office and coaching staff might not be 100% on the same page

interesting to see divincenzo in there wonder if the bucks dont want to pay him
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 14:23 (two years ago) link
Over the weekend, Boston offered Schröder to Milwaukee for Donte DiVincenzo, which the Bucks countered asking for Grant Williams, sources with knowledge of the discussions told The Athletic. Though sources said the Celtics balked at the offer, the teams continue to explore frameworks that include Williams.

celtics really need to be targeting connaughton tho, bring patty home
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:30 (two years ago) link
they could save money by having him play lucky too, just put the hat on during timeouts get out there with w tshirt cannon
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:31 (two years ago) link
guess this is happening
New Orleans is on verge of adding an accomplished vet and playmaker as the franchise aims to make postseason.End of an era for the Trail Blazers and their McCollum-Damian Lillard backcourt. Portland worked to acquire assets in McCollum deal and send him to a good situation. https://t.co/or5Ay22rZ3— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 8, 2022

i don't really get it, i don't really get the pelicans overall, are they trying to build for the future or win now?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:35 (two years ago) link
yeah they seem bad as an org
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:37 (two years ago) link
gotta think is is gonna end in a dame trade at some point, maybe ownership isnt ready and the front office is trying to backdoor their way into it by putting a definitively bad team out there
pelicans are just flailing. zion might not play at all this season and then he'll bolt as soon as possible.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:41 (two years ago) link
yeah couldnt be more clear that he does not want to be on the pelicans
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:41 (two years ago) link
zions lucky that his storyline this year is like the 3rd weirdest thing in the league behind kyrie and ben.

I love Connaughton but the man belongs in Boston
― frogbs, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:51 (two years ago) link
lol was just thinking about Zion the other day. like are we ever gonna see the dude ball or is this another Greg Oden situation? has anyone ever become a perennial all-star after missing this much of their first 2 seasons? idk maybe Blake Griffin but Zion's issues seem to run a little deeper
― frogbs, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:52 (two years ago) link
Hard to say with him but from my perspective it just looks like he’s trying to play as little minutes for the pelicans as possible. The red flags are piling up tho.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 15:58 (two years ago) link
the thing about oden is he was never actually good, zion has been dominant when hes played
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 16:08 (two years ago) link
Offensively anyway
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 16:14 (two years ago) link
his defense has been a huge disappointment, one of many red flags as you noted
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 16:16 (two years ago) link
also oden had like a degenerative leg injury coming into the league, one leg was several inches shorter than the other or something. they feel like different situations

a good situation.......in new orleans?

lol guess we know where the leak came from
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 16:22 (two years ago) link
the pelicans screwing up lucking into anthony davis by trying to win immediately and triggering a series of compounding mistakes where they kept trading away assets to make up for poor decisions when previously trading away assets and eventually locking themselves into perpetual 7/8 seedhood… and then lucking into zion williamson and just doing the same thing again. the NBA should find new ownership and move that franchise
