How does Portland benefit by agreeing to switch picks with the Cavs?

Are they getting anything?

Celtics are trying to lose to Philly.

Vyle its pretty clear they had no one to defend Embid, who ate them up. But Bostons backcourt of Smart/Isiah/Bradley is just dynamite in quarter 4.

So why did Philly play Noel tonite? Hmmm

Embiid's a monster. He's all but unguardable already. We'll have to get him in foul trouble earlier next time lol.

They played tough. They shot really well most of the game and I was surprised at how tenacious the defense was from them.

It is odd that Noel played and Okafor didn't. I've heard Okafor may be the one to go?
But maybe they were shopping Noel to us, who knows.

Sold win for the Celts, but shit man, does every game have to come down to the wire?? Shit's bad for my blood pressure.

Makes no sense.

Seriously, I'm starting to wonder if I could apply for an NBA GM position. Can't be that hard apparently.

“I think from the outside, people look at it and go, ‘He went to the best team available,’” Nash said. “But that’s the same thing LeBron (James) did as a free agent the last two times; he went to Miami and Cleveland to join two max players. When he was doing that, there didn’t happen to be a team with three All-Stars (as there was with the Warriors last July) or maybe he would’ve gone to that one. […] Look, it would’ve been easier for (Durant), no one would’ve been upset if he went back to OKC; but I think he has a chance here to grow as a man and put himself in a new environment where he’d be challenged in different ways. For me, I thought it’d be a great move for him basketball-wise. I thought that he would fit in great.”

Wouldn't you agree that all of the above ages are young??

In comparison to myself...?

Definitely...

TJ nasty.

What a bum

LOL - I think Miami got the raw end of that deal when Clarkson and Dragic both ejected. I'd rather lose Clarkson over Dragic. He was Miami's leading scorer tonight

Anyone watching this Warriors game? Warriors were up 19 heading to the 4th. 24 earlier in the 2nd half.

It is now a 2 point game. 16-0 Memphis run

I think its one of those gentlemen's agreement type deals. Like, you do us a solid here and if you need a favor later on, we're good for it. There are very few front offices that actually oppose stuff like this. I think they look at it like "we all have to work together and maybe one day, I might be working with or for that person, let's not piss each other off"

This is my one extreme knock on the Warriors. They seem to always get complacent (as evident by their Christmas game against the Cavs) where they have these significant leads only to let the opponent back on a significant run.

Something to keep on later on.

Conley ties the game.

7.4 left. Who does the Dubs go to?

 

[bksballer89]

Remember when Draymond said don't go at him with game on the line? Guess what Conley just did?

 

[UTVolCountry]

Not sure Memphis will win...great comeback though.

 

[bksballer89]

My god what a terrible possession by the Warriors.

Overtime
