NBA Season 2016/17

Holy crap. Ibaka to Toronto is huge! He's everything JV lacks. If they can mesh together quickly on the floor, you get spacing from Ibaka plus post presence from JV on offense, then you get rim protection from Ibaka on D! The only thing that convincingly beats this lineup is floor-spacing small ball (so the Cavs with Frye or Love as C, or the Warriors/Rockets run/gun/shoot lineups).

Serge Ibaka has officially been traded to the Raptors in exchange for Terrence Ross and a 2017 first-round pick.
So, to clear things up, the Magic essentially traded away Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis, Ersan Ilyasova and Ibaka for Ross and a late 2017 first-rounder; so, not the best return on investment

You can't include Ibaka in that if he's an in and out. It's Oladipo, Sabonis, Ilyasova for Ross and a late first. Which is still awful!

interested to see what Ross can be with freedom

They still got pantsed on back to back deals

Absolutely stoked with this, just need to find some form now, not looking the best today though

Hahaha Kevin O'Connor tweeted this:

Jahlil Okafor was shelved a ploy to stir interest and induce better offers, sources speculate. No one fell for it.

Getting rid of Hinkie might have completely derailed the process. Poor Philly.

Plumlee and Jokic starting together

[Jay]

Philly copped the full Marcus Smart experience today. 8 steals!!

[RiOtChEsS]

Plumlee and Jokic starting together

combined for 26pts 5blks 7ast 23rebs, Joker shot poorly too so expect those numbers to improve

and they got blown out by the timberwolves without lavine....

[RiOtChEsS]

Denver had no Gallinari, Chandler, Mudiay or Faried so ::)

All-star weekend has been a bit of a fizzer so far.

Celebrity game had some cool moments; the Harden impersonation, lead singer of Arcade Fire double doubling again, kid with the liver problem getting on court and hitting his first and only shot, some hot chick that hosts some 2k17 tv show nailing trey's.

Haven't watched the Rising Stars game, but some killer highlights from Joker, Jamal Murray (MVP trip dub) and KAT.

3pt competition, Klay failed, Eric Gordon beats Kyrie in OT.

Dunk comp was at rock bottom this year, some cool dunks, but not really by anyone popular which made it a quiet affair.

2 things I'd do to spice up the weekend.

1. Have someone donate 500K to the charity of the winners choice in the dunk comp.  Would bring in the superstars to rais money for their charities.
2. Can the celeb game in favour of a legends game.  That, people will pay to see!  Even if it's guys who have retired in the past 2-3 years, but would be very nice to see guys like Payton, D-Rob, Zo, Webber etc play again.

[RiOtChEsS]

yep snooze fest thus far

[killerbees]

Yeah absolute fizzer, dunk comp was always going to struggle after last year, but I didn't expect this fall off.

I was at NOLA last all star in 14 and when it shifted from charlotte to NOLA i was spewing i wouldn't be there, think i dodged a fizzer the arena just seems so dead

looking like Westbrook MVP again. You would think how Warriors heavy the team is he would be no shot.

Irving probably the competition at this point.
