the nuggets got the 1st

wait maybe not

well they got a 1st for afflalo but also sent one to philly for javale

they sent the first they got from OKC in the mozgov/waiters trade

ESPN reporting Heat's pitch for Goran Dragic is Norris Cole, Josh McRoberts, Birdman and two first-round picks.

How do you not immediately say yes to this

it's not a great offer, honestly

yea cole is bad, mcbob is hurt, birdman is whatever, the picks are the most valuable asset i guess

a '17 miami first-rounder has a chance of being good but that's just about the only good thing in that package

if they make that trade they're basically just banking on the heat having a disaster season in 2017

mcbob has had multiple leg surgeries and still has 3 years left on his deal

he would fit phoenix's system well but i don't think the heat would feel bad at all about clearing that contract off the books

bird could help them though and it seems like if they get cole they're gonna re-route him (i saw okc or detroit on twitter)

McBob is a good player and only makes 5mil per season. Cole would go to Detroit anyway. Birdman is an expiring. The Heat could easily have a disaster season in 17.

Well, not an expiring, but still only 5mil next year and it's over. Plus he'd be a good backup for Len I think.

mcbob had a good year but a big man coming off foot and knee surgeries :-/

Yeah I guess.

I shouldn't be a GM. lol

it's not a bad deal of phx, two first rounders are two first rounders and bird is still useful

but it's not an overwhelmingly good trade or anything

couple picks and some serviceable players to unload a guy who doesn't want to be there and you won't get anything for in a few months seems fine

Yeah that was how I was thinking about it

goran did them a favor making this happen before the deadline, coulda stuck it to em once the season was done

Garnett waived his no-trade

kevin garnett!!!!!!

anything is possible

why is garnett doing this

he'd rather hang out with flip and watch the development of the yung wolves on the team he's gonna part-own soon than be miserable on the most depressing team in the league?

he could've taken a buyout and signed with a contender though

why would he rather be on the wolves than the clippers

Austin Rivers?

u can actually yell at wiggins

Oklahoma City has traded Reggie Jackson to Detroit

yaas stan

fuck it

Phoenix is finalizing a deal to send Goran Dragic to the Miami Heat, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

riles

pat riley style

KG wants to retire a wolf is all, he's hanging it up.

best trade deadline in years

i need this goran shirt, omg

xps to jordan: in a vacuum, i'm not sure why not the clips - like i saw he outright rejected that scenario, per woj - but with KG it could very well be some old beef with one of the other olds on the clippers, or pretty much anyone on that team

man..... minnesota trading a first round pick for thad young for KG's corpse will not be on the list of flip saunders notable accomplishments as GM

rationality isn't necessarily a strong suit of his

Dan Le Batard Show ‏@LeBatardShow 1m1 minute ago
I'm told Dragic to Heat is done. Four players and two picks. Details coming.

so it's prob that exact trade

def best trade deadline since perk for jeff green

Does that mean Zoran is staying?!

four players now, dang

shit is going off today.

what's the biggest impact deal today? feels like dragic to heat might be the most interesting dev

yeah they needed a shot creator so badly

the upgrade chalmers/cole to dragic has to be the most dramatic improvement of any team by far

if wade and bosh can put a healthy string together this might make early round ec playoffs more interesting
