flash reaction teams that did good in no particular order: celtics, suns, thunder, blazers

lakers likely keeping this pick this year, next year who knows where they finish

re: philly getting the lakers pick - if it's still top 5 protected, doesn't it not matter bc lakers are most likely gonna be top 5?
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 February 2015 01:20 (nine years ago) link
damn too slow
it's top 3 protected in 2016 and...I still think the lakers might be that bad then, it's just not a known quantity like right now
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 February 2015 01:21 (nine years ago) link
pick still has a good chance to be high this year or next, tho no guarantee

one of the dudes who writes for the SB nation sixers blog, liberty ballers, posted the most kool-aid-drunk, hinkie-head article ever about how hinkie was right...exactly at 3 pm, right when hinkie traded MCW and kj mcdaniels

his tweets shortly after to walk it all back were kind of hilarious

Feel like thunder did great just collecting a bunch more decent guys and shipping out two of their problem children which should make everybody chill
Also finally it's the end of the Scott brooks' perk binkie era

Cenk Akyol a 6'5 guard from Turkey, was drafted 59th in 2005 by Atlanta but has been traded 3 times within the last year.
Currently listed as the fourth-string SF for Anadolu Efes!

This shit is wild and hilarious I wonder if Cenk even has an agent who bothers to let him know "bro your NBA rights got traded again this month good luck in turkobasket cup level D"

also I love how ainge saw a trade almost completed without him and butted in and was like YO Philly let ME take the best player in this trade don't worry about it you're just gonna trade him away for an injured big man in a year so let's just slide Isaiah over to the celtics thanks
― we just form a f#!king wall (agent hibachi), Friday, 20 February 2015 01:39 (nine years ago) link
well yeah unlike hinkie, danny has some semblance of a plan

i drew a comic awhile back about Brooks and Glasses and the punch line was brooks putting perk in the game and i am sad it now has no relevance

i think this is the first time i actually have watched mavs w rondo, it is...not great.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 20 February 2015 01:46 (nine years ago) link
i dont think hinkies plan is necessarily bad its just is not vverifiably good yet, if theres something thats particularly sus its drafting non shooters and making them watch ted talks, besides that seems pretty reasonable
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 February 2015 01:47 (nine years ago) link
basically he scammed ownership into guaranteeing him job security because there's no way to prove that he was conclusively wrong...yet
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 20 February 2015 01:52 (nine years ago) link
to be fair sixers are owned by like private equity people who seemed p happy to be scammed and/or don't understand the NBA

a complete tear down was prob the way to go tho w that team tho / jrue holiday trade was def good

lol amare getting grilled abt his wine baths
i feel like i havent seen the nba in 10 months the all star break is awful
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 February 2015 02:02 (nine years ago) link
looking forward to amar'e in dallas, i think he'll be an interesting watch until he gets injured again
― pursuit of happiness (art), Friday, 20 February 2015 02:04 (nine years ago) link
is there enough wine in dallas, though

They extended the all star break this year! Normally just a long weekend deal.

trading mcdaniels just doesn't make sense. He's a guy they should be happy to pay.

there's rondo, wish he was wearing a crazy facemask instead of just goggles

I feel like the Heat trade is good but not a slam dunk by any means. A lot of smart people are saying Goran is a great fit but I'm not sure. That's actually the suns deal I like, but the zeke trade is too much for Knight I think.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 20 February 2015 02:24 (nine years ago) link
I like the Kanter deal a lot for the Thunder. Kanter is weird and doesn't play defense but the upside is so huge short and long term.

one great thing is that there's no fucking way the nets make the playoffs now.
