NBA Trade Talk 2021

The Rockets dropped the ball, LOL.

How soon can those players to get to Miami?

There's a game tonight and Miami is -4.5? LOL.

I feel like the market for Dipo isn't as strong as many think.

True but even if he isn't the same player he was in Indy, they didn't get as much as they could have IMO.

And I like Kelly, but Bradley looks washed.

So Miami got Trevor Ariza, Oladipo and are the likely landing spot for Aldridge? Not too shabby for Old Man Pat. Good solid veterans with a strong young core. I like it.

Drummond didn't get traded, @WiggyRuss, @Shanemansj13, @dtgold88.....

Bought out most likely like a lot of us said. LOL.

"Riles has lost his fastball."

LOL. This is what @WiggyRuss said once upon a time.

And Lowry staying put. Ujiri tried to shake down Sixers, Heat, and Lakers or at least one of them and ultimately never got what he wanted.

What are your thoughts? I think this was a good day for the Sixers. They add a vet back up PG which moves Shake off the ball. It likely makes Furkan better because they don’t have to depend on Shake/Howard pick and roll every trip like they’ve been doing. Second unit got much better. Avoided the Lowry albatross (I thought that was a Brett Brown-like deal; grab the best player out there and fuck whether he actually fits yourself). And most importantly they kept Danny Green’s defense and spacing which is huge with the Nets 3 headed monster looming. Can’t get enough defense as far as I’m concerned. Kept Thybulle and Maxey and still got better. It will be interesting to see if Doc and Morey can recruit a 3 and D wing piece on the buyout market. Any potential names? I can see Austin Rivers potentially running it back with dad if he ends up getting bought out. Did the JJ Dallas thing go through? He was a guy I thought they might kick the tires on bringing back because of how well he and Jo worked together on dribble hand offs.

Lou Williams, 2 2nds and cash being shipped to Atlanta for Rondo? That doesn't sound right. Little help?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Miami won the trade deadline.....even with how unsure I think Oladipo fits....

Is he a PG or a SG there?

I don’t care what they call his position, but Jimmy Butler is the Heat PG for all intents and purposes. I think Oladipo is their two. I think Heat are:
Butler Robinson Oladipo Aldridge and Bam
With bench of Dragic Beilica (or however you spell his fucking name) and Herro with the other guys playing a role in a series based on matchups. Heat guys...did I forget somebody. Oh shit I forgot Precious and maybe Nunn.

Clips needed a leader to try to get a title before Kawhi hits FA. If Rondo can be "playoff Rondo" again, it improves their chances of getting out of the West, especially if the Lakers aren't healthy.

Clips need a leader? Shouldn't one of their 2 "SuperStars" be able to fill the role?

It seems a little strange considering that the Clips are gambling that they'll get Playoff Rondo and not the Rondo that most teams have gotten, but one of Atlanta's biggest problems was their lack of scoring when Young sits...b/c Rondo can't score.

I wanted us to get Hill rather than give up all the capital to get Lowry especially if it meant losing Thybulle.

I just want to know who the heck the Sixers will be playing at Center while Joe is still on the mend. Is Howard going to be playing 40 minutes a night?

Like I said, Houston should never have traded LeVert for Dipo.

They could have returned serious assets for LeVert.

 

[thunderc]

Really surprised the thunder didn’t do anything else but you can only stockpile so many picks

 

[DJ]

I saw a Tweet that said Aldrdige will consider several teams.....maybe the Lakers?


Hmmmm.....

You'd think. But neither of them ever has been.

Redick got traded to Dallas.
