So now Mavs got Kelly O and Derrick Jones?
Whats up?

Still fine with that.

Knew Kelly O, JJ, or Waiters would have to be included

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Only if you can explain it 15 words or less.

Doubt he knows little about needing to be hard.

 

[trojanfan12]

Holy shit.

So does this mean Kawhi to Lakers unless he wants to play with zero stars

There aren't any stars left for him to be paired with on the Clips. So, it's likely down to the Raptors and Lakers.

they need to shed salary or risk being "hard capped" with the Butler trade.

Unfortunately he took a cut so they could sign a guy who will probably not help them win a title (Jordan), but I guess we’ll see.

Jordan's one of the top centers in the league and is a good defensive player and rebounder. That's actually a really good move. Obviously the Nets aren't doing anything next year, but in 2021, we'll see what happens.

Now it looks like Dragic is still in Miami according to Stein's tweets.

 

[Heatles84]

Very interesting.

In that case you can put THAT outta your mind...

I know he was the one spouting it, but I was hoping somebody with a functioning brain could explain it to me.

i'm doing my best to destroy my functioning brain. how fucking shitty is brand at being an NBA gm? when he was played like a fiddle in the draft, he said it was for a reason, you'll see. only so many spots. when i heard the rumors the sixers were looking at horford i thought you have to be fucking kidding me, where does he fit in? I like him as a backup to embiid starting every third game or so, but on the court at the same time as the starting five? and that's before you throw on that ridiculous amount of money they're giving him. nice to see the sixers are still in the nba's front pocket moving from colangelo to brand.

Those guys are pretty much scrubs. I wonder what the mavs are thinking here.

 

[WiggyRuss]

it is rather funny.

the "legal" tampering period just opened at 6

5 minutes in the Nets knew they were signing Durant and Kyrie, and Jordan---- and the only way they could sign Jordan is if Durant and Kyrie took less than the max.

Think they negotiated all of that in 5 minutes? lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

These motherfucking cocky assholes holding fucking teams hostage.

Man, the Celtics really dropped the ball...

If they played their cards right at one time, they could have been atop the NBA right now.

Of course not lol. Deals were being made official before 6 PM

Not a fan of Jordan, though happy to see him drastically improve his FT% this year.

 

[Black Adam]

Huh...

Thought they said he was part of the sign and trade...

I know.
Just strange it was Dragic, now switched to the others.

It wasn’t necessarily negotiated by the team. Those 3 came as a package deal and they negotiated it themselves.
