NBA Trade Deadline Thread

[DJ]

Because once again they failed to get rid of Lopez and Johnson.

They been trying to get rid of Lopez for about 4 years now....somehow he's still a net.

The Thad Young move was nice but they really want to get rid of Lopez

They got rid of KG's over-priced contract and added a nice player, upgrading themselves at PF.

They still have next season when he's an expiring contract to deal Lopez.

I can't see them finishing above 8th. They're at 25 losses while the 7th place team after tonight will be at 20 losses. Basically OKC need to go 23-7 the rest of the way to even stand a chance at a 6th or 7th seed IMO. I can't see Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or the Clippers finishing with more than 30 losses

I hope you are right.

The Warriors would destroy the Clippers.

Actually, the Clippers are clearly the weakest of the top 8 after all the trades....maybe even before.

So, I'll keep the fishing boat near the dock no matter who they face...lol

But, I would love to see OKC vs. Warriors.

That could end up being the best 1 vs. 8 matchup in league history.

JJ will also be an expiring contract as well.

WHOA!!!! WHOA!!!!

Easy there, Tony the Tiger......since Mick's incognito.....she's mine!!!!

 

[DJ]

Gooooooooooo Lakers!!!!

 

[DJ]

You're a mod, TJ12. What are the points for?

I agree.

Nugs over Sonics was an upset.

Warriors over Dallas was an upset.

Could a healthy OKC over the Warriors really be seen the same way?

I don't think so.

Yeah, they have looked like garbage a few times this year.

But, they are only in this position because of injuries.

I can see each team averaging 145 ppg in that series...lol

From what I understand, you get points for certain "milestones" or something. Beyond that, I have no idea. There's still a few things that even us mods are trying to figure out. It'll probably be about another week before everything is completely figured out.

This new software of whatever that we're on is supposed to enable the site to do a lot more than the old software.

 

[Mecca]

Uh, what?

You will have to excuse him, TF12.

DJ is having flashbacks from the other place where he used to practically wiz all over the thread marking his territory with the ladies.

Mick was my cyber boy-toy.

Yep. Basically we'd be getting 2 teams that under normal circumstances, would be battling it out for one of the top 3 spots in the West.

I am too old to be anyone's "boy anything."

Gooooooooooo Lakers!!!!

So, lets assume Rondo and Dragic are off the market this Summer.

Where should your Lakers turn?

Knight?..No...Clarkson in Knight-lite...hey that rhymes...lol

Jackson?...Possibility...Why would the Pistons want him and Jennings?

But, I say...Sign Monroe and Draft Mudiay....I have a feeling about this guy.

Worst case....Draft Okafor /Towns steal Trey Burke from Utah since Exum is now the starting pg in Utah.

Thoughts?

 

[DJ]

Uh, what?

Thought you were kissing her ass with the comment, LOL.

We are not old.

We are Vintage

I like the changes so far.

I prefer "classic."

Uh....he's the mod.

So, you have it backwards...lol

TF12 has already undressed me * figuratively* in a few basketball discussions.

I had to admit that I was wrong...TWICE!

Whiteside for say 8-10 million per season, I truly think this kid is legit and just had a road less traveled than most on their way to the NBA.
