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

yeah send them to seattle doesnt seem like anyone in nola really cares anyway

they should but my hunch is they'd rather add seattle and vegas as expansion teams

Portland's plan is to fully reshape roster around Damian Lillard now. Portland created a $21M trade exception today, potentially $60M in salary cap space this summer, multiple draft picks and assets via Pels and Clippers trades. Plan is to pursue high-end talent now, not retreat.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 8, 2022

As Pelicans await return of Zion Williamson, McCollum delivers a dynamic scorer in backcourt that desperately needed it. After starting 1-12, Pels have elevated to a play-in tournament spot. No team since 1996-97 Suns has made playoffs from that kind of a start. https://t.co/NAUQJ0hl93— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 8, 2022

Sources told ESPN that Harden (who has no agent) & his manager have been searching for an agent to help navigate the situation -- whether that's free agency, a sign-and-trade to leave the Nets after the season, staying on a new deal, or even, a trade prior to Thursday's deadline— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) February 7, 2022

i get what both teams are doing here insofar as they're trading from positional log jams to better balance out their rosters but it also feels like deck chair rearranging for both of them, like i'm not sure either team is actually much better after this. feels like halfway on the fly rebuilds.
the pacers are at least getting shooting and some playmaking, feel like once myles turner comes back they'll resemble more of a carlisle team in that they'll basically never post up at any point ever. their center will essentially just be a small forward offensively. brogdon, halliburton, duarte, hield, turner is a line up that should score some points and again it's def resembles a carlisle roster but it's also lacking star power badly & idk how they get it unless they hit on another paul george style draft pick
the kings i mean they prob needed to shake up their roster and sabonis is at least verifiably good and reliable, but they might be the single worst shooting team in the NBA now. it's like harrison barnes and not a single other player who can make a three pointer

At 21, Tyrese Haliburton ranks 12th in the league in steals, 11th in assists and is already one of the most efficient jump shooters in the NBA. pic.twitter.com/QUj4xvxiCj— Kirk Goldsberry (@kirkgoldsberry) February 8, 2022

I would argue the pacers got better. Maybe not right now but landing Halliburton who should only get better is big. They could prob flip hield into something although he’s been complete ass this year.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 19:28 (two years ago) link
they prob did get better, at the very least they got a less rigid player who is also younger/cheaper. but what is their path to the second round of the playoffs lots of unanswered questions, but i guess you can only make one move at a time
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2022 19:46 (two years ago) link
it's interesting they were willing to bet on turner over him esp given his recent injury. just feel like carlisle doesn't fuck w/ the way sabonis plays and was happy to get him out of there and open things up
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2022 19:47 (two years ago) link

Very decent chance they move on from Myles as well if the asset pool is right.
