kennard to memphis sounds pretty cool they really need shooters (the other kind of shooters, ja)

pretty funny the lakers were just defending trading bryant by saying they were gonna play their third string center then they trade for bamba an hour later

my head is spinning

anyway lakers have done a good job of getting a bunch of guys while also clearing their locker room of two of the most annoying people

my head is spinning

the value of second round picks is cratering this is a full on crash

neveryen gabriel :(

yeah it feels like there has been at least one full draft's worth of second round picks traded today

random bench guys making demands now the worlds lost it moorings

Thomas Bryant requested a trade from the Los Angeles Lakers after his minutes diminished once Anthony Davis returned from injury, sources @tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.

Clippers are sending Reggie Jackson to Charlotte in the deal, source tells ESPN. https://t.co/tIh0QdCcX3

trades, trades, trades

I pop off for an hour to do some gardening and I return and nobody’s on the same team anymore

yup. isn't it wonderful!

5 seconds

The Blazers are trading Gary Payton II to the Warriors for five second round picks, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 9, 2023

so, wiseman for gpii ultimately?

im so happy hes back he was a perfect fit

flipped wiseman into gp2 and saved a ton of money

traded wiseman for a back up center they can actually play

warriors need front court depth tho they need a buyout big to eat up 10-15 minutes a game

gp2 getting the bag to live in portland for 6 months and then ending up back on the warriors... great stuff for him

its beautiful. also got to heal and take the first half of the season off lol. just got his ring from the dubs like last week

he belongs with them

traded wiseman for a back up center they can actually play

yup, gsw guard depth is actually really deep. curry, klay, poole, donte, gp2

gpII rehabbed in pdx, was paid all season, played in about five games and gets to go back and play for the curernt champs. sweet deal for him.

love to learn the value

The Raptors never turned out to be sellers, adding Spurs center Jakob Poeltl on deadline day. They'll have to make some harder decisions in the offseason, but Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster tested and learned more about the value of several players.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 9, 2023

The Warriors made a hard push for Raptors forward OG Anunoby at the trade deadline. However, I'm told Masai Ujiri's asking price was too high. Wanted Jonathan Kuminga, others, plus picks.

— C.J. Holmes 🚀 (@CjHolmes22) February 9, 2023

who knows what others and picks mean but i.... would've done that

'others'?

i wouldnt trade kuminga hes the only untouchable youngster imo

Wolves waived Bryn Forbes let the feeding frenzy begin

buyout market should be juicy a lot of these teams need vet depth badly

bones is a negative player at this point in his career and two second rounders is what the rumors had been for a few days now, but dumping him for nothing stings a bit

kinda sad ending for bones in denver

the value of second round picks is cratering this is a full on crash

GMs agree with me then

i mean they have to have some value... right?

idk you can get pretty good value with random euros and undrafted players too

i just mean there has to be some reason why the teams acquiring 5 seconds are doing that
