Millsap next to Jokic should be fun to watch!

Indiana's stupidity ruined our off-season and it makes me very sad :(

Why take the best deal for your team to help you compete.

When you can make sure 1 team out of your conferance doesnt get stronger

Before Otto arrived at Kings for a meeting, the Wizards said they would match any offer.  Let's see if they can back up the talk.

Wizards will match, there's next to no chance of them letting Otto go.

Nate Duncan said it best: If the Pacers goal was to avoid coming up against Paul George then they made the right deal because this assures them of being out of the playoffs for a long time.

Even if I take away the Celtics component of this trade, how did they not accept Kevin Love over that package?

The must like Sabonis next to Turner. He had to be the main piece in this deal. VO went to college in Indiana so bringing him in means they will likely still get fans to games (not lose money) during a rebuild.

They could have had Noel, RoCo and 2 picks from the 6'ers instead at the deadline last year. They thought they could keep him, when they realised they couldn't they had to go into a rebuild.

Thunder have basically traded Ibaka for Geroge so that's worked out for them in the end.

I'm just waiting for Bill Simmons head to explode when Hayward signs with Utah or Miami. They would have missed out on Paul George, Blake Griffin, Kristaps, Jimmy Butler, and possibly Hayward. Throw in trading pick 1 for Tatum. It's ok Boston, you can always sign Gallinari as your big FA prize

Pretty much they can avoid the cavs too. Dont need to face anyone watching the playoffs on their tv

Gonna go out on a limb here and say Boston are going to be the biggest losers this off-season for not doing anything.  Why would Hayward leave Gobert to play with IT/Horford?  Maybe if Boston had gotten PG or another decent player, Ainge with the moves, then no moves...

not just Gobert.

Rubio aswell.

IT is great at scoring but Rubio has him in passing and defense by a mile.

not only that

Rubio 26
Gobert 25


It 28
Horford 31
Tatum 19

and a boat load of draft picks. which at the moment are nothing but paper.


However in the East pretty much your getting an All Star spot and ECF.

however if your going east surely you go to Philly.

Imagine

Simmons Fultz Embiid Hayward Saric

trust the FEHDS

[jvalles69]

On the Boston note, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum putting up some sick lines today to beat Philly by 1 pt.  Adebayo solid too!

[Keeper27]

Spurs fan here but man am i hyped AF to see the TWolves... that team on paper looks f'n amazing.
damn shame they're part of the stupid strong west conference. if they were on the east i'd reckon they'd challenge LBJ and the cavs

Millsap next to Jokic should be fun to watch!

this.

6'ers signed Reddick and Johnson to 1 year deals. A lot of money but they have a ton of space and it has no long term cap effects.

exciting times for 6er fans... hope all them youngsters can keep fit.

[valkorum]

Darren Collison to the Pacers on 2 year $20mil.  2nd year is partially guaranteed (don't know how much)

[valkorum]
