NBA Season 2016/17

The Rockets are not flowerin around

The Lakers are sending Lou Williams to the Rockets in exchange for Corey Brewer and a first-round pick.
He was fully expected to be moved before the deadline with several teams expressing interest. Williams will have the green light in Houston and the Rockets attempt the most 3-pointers in the NBA

Wanted a better pick for Lou, tbh, but can't really complain about a first rounder.

Magic will do a great job turning the team around.

losing williams is great for their tank effort you would think they should finish bottom 3 comfortably now which puts them at almost 50% of getting a top 3 pick and 15.6% of the number 1.

Yeah that's a good trade for the Lakers. The Houston pick migjt8not be great but they will want to tank is this year so the pick doesn't convey to Philly in a deep draft and then they only owe the Magic seconds instead of another first.

Wizards are after Shabazz Muhammad and The Jazz want Deron Williams to back up George Hill

[Mat0369]

That fan reaction is going to be hilarious if they get Williams.

I wouldn't put that on Magic doing a great job. Mitch was already shipping Lou for the same reasons - get a first and help the tank. Rumours were Washington (which would be a slight better pick) or Utah (same) before the front office blew up. I'm not saying either of those deals were necessarily going to go through but I think we have to wait a while to see if getting rid of Mitch was a good move (or at least not a bad move).

Duuuuude, Kupcrap is a jabroni, Magic is an upgrade even if he is putting in Phil Jackson hours

Not the greatest history of people like Magic jumping into these roles out of nowhere.

Although i guess he can't be worse than he was as a coach, that said he thought the bulls having rondo wade and butler was a good thing

Traded for Pau Gasol, Chris Paul (not his fault it was vetoed), Dwight Howard & Steve Nash (can't blame him for Dame Lillard destroying Nash with a freak break and nerve injury). Drafted Clarkson, Nance, and Zubac all in the second round (as well as obvious first round picks of Randle, Russell, and Ingram). He's orchestrated the beginning of what looks like a very good rebuild and then he's shown the door.

How the hell can you have bad things to say about Mitch outside of overpaying free agents during a period where nobody wanted to go to LA?

Apparently Magic was working the phones on this deal. So good effort, it's a decent trade

I am hearing that because he didnt get a deal done for DMC didnt help his case.

[RiOtChEsS]

This is speculation at this point but

The Celtics have started following Melo on Twitter and Instagram
Jae Crowder has removed his Celtics cover photo
Isaiah Thomas tweeted "0.0"

I heard the same but it was something like the Kings wanting Randle, Clarkson, and Ingram. We do that and two things happen.
1. We win a few more games this season from DMC alone and lose our pick in the process.
2. We're no better than the Kings were with Cousins (probably worse) and he walks when his contract is up.

Not trading for Cousins was the right move and if Mitch had to take a bullet to stop that from happening, I respect him even more.

regardless if he did it or not im sure he wont stuff up the pick like Mitch would have.
