2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

woj went from saying nothing was happening yesterday to this, albeit in a deniable sort of way

i think if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that harden's decision to not formally request a trade has helped him avoid the public backlash that would come with asking out of a second franchise in consecutive seasons.

haha

What's the backlash? All 5 Nets fans going to go after him on twitter?

what does it even mean to formally request a trade? is there a form to fill out

I was wondering, would 2010 Lebron make the Lakers a championship team? I know everyone is focused on westbrook, and that is a HUGE piece, but a lot of this is down to Lebron being a very good player not a transcendent player.

The Sacramento Kings are trading Marvin Bagley III to the Detroit Pistons, sources tell me and @sam_amick.

The Kings are acquiring Milwaukee's Donte DiVencenzo in a four-team trade, sources tell ESPN. Marvin Bagley is going to the Pistons.

finally the kings get their hands on donte

and got rid of their #2 pick that they picked instead of luka, trae, jjj, and many more.

The Toronto Raptors are trading Goran Dragic to the San Antonio Spurs for Thad Young, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

bucks dumping salary and picking up an old washed guy for their playoff run i guess?

I believe this would be Juancho Hernangomez's sixth team in a year and a half

two seconds for donte huh guess he is an RFA before he got injured everyone was talking like hes a real piece for the bucks

he was solid before the injury but they prob dont have time to get him back up to speed

if he’s as good as some ppl seem to think that’s a pretty good trade for the kings. but i guess they’re gonna have to pay him off of less than half a season tho

he was solid before the injury but they prob dont have time to get him back up to speed

maybe they can resign him for cheap then idk its weird why have they turned their back on donte

if they sign donte and he’s good and they’re able to keep sabonis around (major if) they prob won’t end up regretting dealing halliburton. as two moves put together i can understand why they like it, they’re def a better team today than they were 2 days ago, tho i’m not as big of a donte fan and it’s still a leap of faith to assume sabonis will want to spend any time there beyond what he has to. he did seem fired up last night tho

i think ppl saw them acquiring future republican speaker of the house grayson allen as basically a much cheaper version of donte who they were forecasting would get an offer sheet beyond what they would want to pay beyond the tax. but they basically went from trading him for bogdan bogdanovic to getting the possibly irreparably damaged serge ibaka & a few seconds so it doesn’t seem like the trade market ever rematerialized for them

The Raptors are trading Dragic and protected 2022 first-round picks to the Spurs for Thad Young, Drew Eubanks and a 2022 second-round pick via Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Pick is protected 1-14 in 2022; 1-13 in 2023 and would turn into two seconds beyond that. https://t.co/SN0sFyVurm

raptors giving up a first for thad? tho that pistons 2nd is almost a first

yeah i guess they look at it like dropping down 10 spots. thad will prob fit there even tho he’s been getting DNP CDs for most of the year

feels like there’s lots of pistons second round picks flying around even in trades they’re not even involved in feel like they should’ve kept those

blockbuster for the celtics to get under the tax line

The Celtics are trading PJ Dozier and Bol Bol, a future second and cash to the Magic for a future second-round pick, sources tell ESPN. Dozier and Bol are both out for the season. Cost-savings for Boston.

i like it

!!!!!!!!!!

The Brooklyn Nets are trading James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 10, 2022

That's pretty rich, hope Morey has plans to acquire a backup center and another shooter, but let's do this and be legends!

morey was right in the end wow

when you have too many bols, this is the most efficient move you can make

sixers kept maxey, feels like a win for them

sorry i was late on that one, there's a new trade now it seems

and thybulle

trades baby hell yeah gotta love em!

feel like brooklyn did pretty well here

Flight to Philly!!!!!!!!!

— James Harden (@JHarden13) February 28, 2012

yeah that is a haul

nets have like three top 10 spot up shooters now with harris, patty and curry

not to mention kd and kyrie

small ball lineups with kd at center could be really cool. now we can see what ben looks like with shooting

kind of annoyed by this as a Bucks fan

yeah activating ben in the east and harden now being able to take off his fat suit.

over/under on the 'work in progress' being 7 days

Ben Simmons will continue to work with his therapist to get mentally ready to play in Brooklyn. “It’s a work in progress,” according to one source close to him. But he’s thrilled with the change of scenery and has already spoken to Kevin Durant. https://t.co/rVpErjw5Oa

— Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) February 10, 2022

After all that, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden played 16 games and 364 minutes together.

The Boston Celtics are trading Josh Richardson to the San Antonio Spurs for Derrick White, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 10, 2022

Sixers bench was thin before this - hope Morey's got a couple more minor moves to shore it up.

lol 16 games total is insane xp

morey was right in the end*

*had to trade his third best player and two first round picks to acquire a disintegrating 32 year old playoff failure

Would be awesome if the Nets cratered in the playoffs and KD bails and Simmons is left holding the bag.

you misspelled “sixers”, “harden” and “joel embiid”
