The Atlanta/Denver/Houston/Minnesota trade -- 12 players -- is the biggest NBA deal since the Knicks moved Patrick Ewing to Seattle in 2000, according to ESPN's @BobbyMarks42.

sweet

juancho and beasley were gonna be FAs also

Hope this means Wiggins stays out of the bay.

we survived the day

oh man i love this for the hawks. schlenk has been sitting on picks year after year finally coaxed someone in to giving him good value for what would have been at best a late lotto pick in a weak draft year. i know very little about Capela other than that he's efficient, a good defender and not terrible on offense. he should fit nicely next to Collins

juancho and beasley were gonna be FAs also

that doesnt rationalise trading depth for less depth when the nuggets have a chance at the title

the big trade

Nuggets definitely want to make another deal but what the hell would it be? Pelicans seem happy to keep Jrue.

cheers to atlanta jeers to houston

I don't really know what the Wolves are doing here but I never really do.

Because if something doesn't happen, they basically traded RoCo on a good contract for a protected first round pick

i don't hate them getting the denver RFAs

congrats everyone on a 4 way trade tho good stuff

lacking in star power but not without dece players

lol at the rockets going on a 4 game winning streak w/o capela and deciding to just say fuck it, its gonna suck for whoever has to pick up the pieces there

capela has sucked this year tho guess he has really been healthy got the sore foot

one of the ways i can talk myself into this for the rockets is if he really just isn't going to be healthy this year. doesn't matter at all to atlanta.

curious about the cause and effect here:

Clint Capela didn't have the same value to the Rockets anymore since they don't set as many on-ball screens.

The Rockets ranked 7th in plays finished using pick-and-roll in 2016-17, per @SynergySST. It's been a steady decline since then:

2017-18: 9th
2018-19: 23rd
2019-20: 30th

capela ruled in NBA2K19 so I like this trade for the hawks

capela is good excellent fit for atl too

I like the theory that denver did this just because they’re sick of matching up with Capela

Because if something doesn't happen, they basically traded RoCo on a good contract for a protected first round pick

My girlfriend is upset because Beasley was the hottest guy on the team in her opinion

lol

harris imo. some ugly dudes on the squad tho

not really sure I get this deal for denver other than getting capela out of the conference

i guess it's just clear they did not intend to keep those guys and consolidated them to get a decent first rather than bad firsts or seconds.

seems like they basically replaced the draft capital they lost in the grant trade for 2 guys they weren't going to keep

yah get something for their 10th/11th guys they didnt really want to keep anyway. i like it. and now they have another asset to add to the pile for Jrue or whatever.

more trades now

capela is good excellent fit for atl too

mb a little weirdness with collins but they cn try to stagger their minutes and collins can shoot more when they play together shd be ok

wonder if we might see harden on a new team by this time next year

make it bigger

Why 4-team trade may get bigger: Not enough time to complete a follow-up trade since physicals etc. won't be completed til after deadline. So have to stuff any business with newly acquired players/picks/exceptions into this deal.

just had an idea, since we'll never be good, I take over the Wolves and concentrate on building the best looking team in basketball

some gm starts making inexplicable moves and no one realizes what theyre doing until its too late

the handsome wolves

handsome devils

rip off their warmups stripper-style

nba shd have a devils team

las vegas devils lets make this happen

gotta bring back the short shorts

alternate name: Buffalo Bulges

short shorts are def on their way back saw a video of rob williams at practice in what mustve been running shorts the other day

players love the short shorts. i go to a lot of high school games and all the kids roll their shorts up at the waste and also tuck them in. a quick google search turned this up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo2UAxHbnXc

Spottie we should check out a game in da valley some time
