Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

@freedarko Subtweeting everyone all the time is an incredible burden to bear.

he is beginning to crack under your assault

quick q did they ever free darko? seems like this dude is built for exercises in futility

fwiw giannis claims that thanasis is a better baller than he

what a nice thing to say about his younger brother

Happy to see this, esp because I find nothing more frustrating than when a team runs a break w/ numbers and instead of passing it around for an easy dunk one guy decides to take it in and get fouled

philly reneged on its promise to release ak47 so he didnt report now theyre suspending him w/o pay

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/philadelphia-s-k-j--mcdaniels-takes-bold-approach-to-rookie-deal-143327281.html

underrated NBA storyline imo ^^

someone will give kj mcdaniels at least $30 million right? philly probably will match it but it's nice to see someone get one over on hinkie anyway

yeah he was v savvy to negotiate his deal like that

bold risk taking for sure

if i was a second rounder i'd pretty much try and take that bet every single time

you're only really negotiating away one year (the second year) and the upside is pretty enormous ... & even if you bomb in year 1 and get released you can still bounce around or go to euro and come back balling like hassan whiteside

agreed

only downside is teams have less incentive to develop you

And risk of significant injury

From the other thread:

the lakers have only finished below .500 13 times in 66 seasons

They're making up for lost time!

BTW I like how in the Lance GIF he pops up and the chyron flips over at the exact same time.

wowwww suns trading for Brandan Wright

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA · 30s 30 seconds ago
Phoenix is sending Boston a future draft pick for Brandan Wright, absorbing Wright into an exception, league source tells Yahoo.

this maybe makes the rondo deal look not so sorry for boston in the long run?

wow they got him for a future 1st rd pick?

i know he's not great on defense but i'm kind of surprised. maybe i overvalue him from his time in dallas

well he's a free agent, so this is a great haul for the Cs

not sure where Wright fits in the rotation, maybe plumlee rides the bench?

xp duh/touche. forgot his status, this makes a lot more sense

split time w plum and also could play the four if they want to go big with a morris at the three

Boston is nearing an agreement to send Jeff Green to Memphis for Tayshaun Prince and a first-round pick, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

danny bonanza

split time w plum and also could play the four if they want to go big with a morris at the three

plum is the backup rn

how many first round picks can boston legally have

can they have every pick is that ok

yes.

The Pistons dancers are wearing shirts tonight that say "The Wall Vs. Everybody." This is a thing.

right, i think they run wright at the 4 maybe? really not sure i guess plums is gonna get benched

wow they got him for a future 1st rd pick?

damn for half a season of brandon wright, west teams r panicing

god that unprotected nets pick the celts have in 2016...

perhaps that should be the last word on the season

2015 NBA 'OFFS

has anyone watched much paul george since he came back? how's he looking?
― Clay, Thursday, 16 April 2015 13:04

still believes hes the best player on the court. jumper & stroke looks tight. a bit newborn lambish on his legs though, not ready for playoff minutes at all

pacers have proven they can cough and sputter their way to wins they don't necessarily deserve

lol fuck off

dude the team I root for has been the butt of lottery jokes all year in the media & on this board & from fans, I think you can live w some completely impersonal criticism of what was last year a fucking 1-seed who will prob be at least a 4-seed on lock again next year

the guy who was tossing me occasional nets tix got in touch to ask if i wanted to go in on next season and i had to say no
brooklyn killed my dream

the nets are not a good team and it makes me sad

at least well see the two best centers in the east go at each other
