having a hard time imagining what the rockets can do to keep harden interested in this team

sign a stripper to play center

lol

lmao

that oladipo stuff is a bad look wow

espn talking westbrook to the knicks which seems dumb enough to happen

its destiny

averaging a triple double on a 35 win team seems like Westbrook's calling

luckily the ny media would be very nice to him so it'll be a low stress situation

hopefully the harden and russ era of the nba has made a bunch more folks realize that counting stats don't matter

hard to think of a stronger demonstration

thee rumors

NBA draft, trade rumors roundup: Boston interested in Jrue Holiday https://t.co/ab8jJ4lYJt

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) November 13, 2020

why?

cause hes good i guess, theres also a myles turner to celtics rumor in there and hes not as good but makes more sense

if you replace marcus smart w/ jrue you're getting a lot of the same things but a better player. would be an interesting move for the C's, also gives you some insurance if kemba gets hurt

kemba-jrue-jaylen-tatum-center ... line up could do damage!

wld also have a nasty defensive lineup if u swapped smart for kemba there

it would be strange to me to move two years of 26 year old marcus smart for 1 year of 30 year old jrue holiday making double the money

right. i agree jrue is better than marcus smart, but not twice as good. i wonder if theyre thinking of trading kemba, ha.

i think that's more likely although i could debate the merits of that move too.

im sure its hayward theyre trying to trade

too many guarrrrrrds

i dont like that move for bahstan, they need frontcourt players.

xxp yeah that would be the first choice but that has to be a sign & trade that gordo agrees to

and i agree i don't know why the celtics would trade for anyone under 6'9

hell prob just opt in to the final year of his deal

he could although if you know you might get traded you can threaten to opt out for leverage.

he shd just be cool imo

hayward era in boston has been truly cursed so i expect whatever outcome is worst for the celtics

What’s oladipo’s deal? Come on, man.

i think pat riley got an idea of what he is and was like lol no thanks

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2020/11/12/insider-oladipo-stay-oladipo-goes-analysis/6123176002/

sounds like oladipo was mad that people like brogden and that the pacers did fine without him, not a great look.

lol wuuut

DEVELOPING: The Rockets and Clippers have discussed a deal that would send Paul George and a first-round pick to Houston and Russell Westbrook to LA, per @ScoopB. pic.twitter.com/jqILwvppfy

huh that's something

musical disgruntlement

wait PG *and* a first for westbrook, the inferior player on a worse contract??

with all respect to scoop b of heavy.com and legion hoops i’m not sure that one passes the smell test. the clippers are gonna trade *another* first round pick and paul george to get westbrook. why? what first can the clippers even trade at this point? 2029?

yeah

in as far as there is anything whatsoever to that rumor, I assumed he put the pick on the wrong side. But both of those teams have yielded comical amounts of future draft picks to the Thunder

three team trade w westbrook going back to okc and cp3 to the clips

i hope these guys all find the situation they're looking for but i'm gonna root for their teams to fail until they stop blasting bad vibes all across the league constantly

We’re approaching an absurd levels of paul George trades here. Has a player this good switched teams this often in a 4/5 year span?

i still blame kd to warriors, that move broke the entire western conference and it needs a full reset

is kd the bad vibes patient zero

PG is the ultimate trade piece of the star accumulation era insofar as he’s not good enough to be a no 1 but is (theoretically) qualified to be a very good no. 2. he was acquired by OKC and LAC to be a second banana to more established stars after he hit a ceiling in indiana and if he gets traded again it will prob be to a similar situation

gree hee hee
