Jrue/bogdan/Middleton on the wing is pretty darn nasty I gotta admit
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 14:49 (three years ago) link
Lonzo and Jrue never made sense to me and this was quite the offer for Jrue.

If the 2021 pick from portland is heavily protected I think it’s ok. Covington is exactly what they need. Well he’s one of the exact things they need.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 15:38 (three years ago) link
hes a really good fit and they only gave up a filler player but... i guess draft picks are cheap right now
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:18 (three years ago) link
with houston rebuilding there might even be a playoff spot for the blazers
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:19 (three years ago) link
theyll def make the play in game at least lol
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link
So apparently the thunder’s pick swap with the rockets next year is top 4 protected, which means the Rockets will have to engineer a really special kind of tanking
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:41 (three years ago) link
Can they trade harden without getting players back that will win any games?
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:42 (three years ago) link
i think you could build an awful team around ben simmons if you needed to, he might not like it tho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:51 (three years ago) link
but with the new lottery odds even if you have the worst record you only have a ~50% chance of landing in the top 4, oops lol
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:53 (three years ago) link
rockets shd prob just kiss that pick goodbye and move on with their lives
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:54 (three years ago) link
i mean okc prob will miss the offs too so

are they aware that you do have to play more than 5 players?

i'm dying @ thanasis being on there
guys weve still got thanasis
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 17:31 (three years ago) link
yeah that roster is thin as hell...their best 5 will be really good tho
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 17 November 2020 17:35 (three years ago) link
having only 7 guys might be good for Bud though
― frogbs, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 17:43 (three years ago) link
they shd get rondo
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 17:51 (three years ago) link
the warriors had like 6 or 7 real players the other year
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 17:56 (three years ago) link
They have to keep the other Antetokounmpo because the other Lopez opted for free agency

wow that would be something. players might have to start their own league to get around that issue.

the fertita stuff feels like a real stretch to me. if the rockets were set up to be contenders none of them would be trying to break up the team bcuz of the owner’s political donations

xp it's a ric bucher report so it's made up, but still pretty funny to think about

i do support any and all news reports that portray tillman fertita as toxic regardless of their accuracy

insane if true
Sources around the league believe there is a “verbal agreement” between the Nets and Rockets that would bring James Harden to Brooklyn, and create a superteam with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.Story with @FOS: https://t.co/k0Gu3kDeaj— Anthony Puccio (@APOOCH) November 17, 2020

That team won't have any drama at all. None.
― octobeard, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 20:10 (three years ago) link
also the nets cant even put together a half decent offer for harden, are hardens people just telling every other team that hell be a huge bitch if they trade for him
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 20:13 (three years ago) link
speaking of having a thin roster. what would they actually have besides those three?

Former first team all nba-er Deandre Jordan and this year's round of vet minimum ring chasers presumably.

it's especially weird if ppl seem to believe that giannis is re-signing... all the 2021 cap hoarders will need to pivot

lol the celtics thing where after every big trade they leak that they were actually in on it too until the last minute is a good recurring comedy bit
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 21:39 (three years ago) link
the celtics have never offered less than 3 first round picks in any trade

its funny when they do make trades there are never 3 1st in there
