Bucks are crap. How do you give up 70+ points in a half vs the Lakers?

Draymond with a Triple Double with steals! Did it without points and 5 blocks as well!

Kings come from 22 down to beat the Hawks

Former C Fab Melo died this morning.

Jah was held out of the game against the Heat due to a potential trade. Lots of stuff going down right now.

News broke with Embiid having a slight meniscus tear, BC is saying that isn't the reason he isn't playing and it was likely there before the original MRI. Bone bruising is the main reason he has been held out. This news all came out after Embiid was filmed dancing on stage at the Meek Mill concert at Wells Fargo last night. He participated in a shoot around and it's just a matter of waiting for him to be asymptomatic before he can play.

Philly broke Miami's win streak which was the longest in the league this season. It was on the back of great defense lead by Noel and Covington, Saric and TJ both killed it again as well. There was one passage of play where Dario hit a no look pass to Sergio who then went with a behind the back pass to an open Sauce who hit the 3.

Jah was seen shaking hands with team mates before being escorted to the locker room at one point. It was thought the trade might have been done there. Nothing has completely broken yet but these are some of the rumors. NO are apparently the front runners for Jah, Blazers and Bulls are the other two. The Bulls would probably waive protection on the Kings pick as part of the trade. Philly really want to bring Jrue back and have been asking for him in a trade. This was posted by a guy that used to cover the 6'ers for CSN

One other report is the Lakers are interested and will remove protection on their pick. The account that posted that doesn't seem to have much credibility though.

Jah was also reported after the game as saying he is expecting the trade to be done in the next day or two from what he has been told. I have gained a lot of respect for him in this whole process. He hasn't complained once, gone about playing and has handled it like a true pro.

Looks like Den/NO/Phi 3 way. Jurkic being moved somewhere too.

Jurkic for Plumlee is done, doesnt move needle really on either, don't really understand it on Blazers.

Whoever gets Okafor is getting Brook Lopez light

Whenever you can get a first round pick for a backup C then you take it.

Plumlee and Jokic on court at the same time is an insane tandem, both cracking passers and 7ft tall

Blazers desperately needed some D at the 5 so i can see this making both teams better

Plumlee and Joker need to play at the same time though or i dont like the trade for Denver

Andrew3747 · February 13, 2017, 06:21:50 PM

Playing them at the same time makes no sense.

Yep, Plumlees stocks plummett. Had a much better outlook in Portland, might be a bit of insurance as Joker is fairly injury prone.

plumdog millionaire · February 13, 2017, 07:19:30 PM

Plumdog should be basically a backup for Joker, both are top 5 big men passers so they won't have to change the system for those guys depending on who is on the court. I expect them to play together for 5-10 minutes a game because they already have Faried, Arthur, Chandler, Hernangomez and even Gallo who are good fits next to Jokic or Plumdog
