The fact that he worked out for the Celtics and they didn't sign him despite how badly they need a decent center probably says all you need to know about Larry Sanders in 2017.
Why are the Lakers trying to win things and give their pick to the 76ers?
hornets get money and the cavs get some help with their luxury tax and an extra roster spot

Not sure what the point is. Sanders clearly isn't a long term solution, so all of those C minutes should be going to Zubac and Tarik Black.
Sanders has/had the ability the both protect the rim and the perimeter so he's different from those guys. I wouldn't have a problem with him taking a benchwarmers or traded vet's roster spot and the team evaluating him through practices or something assuming he's in a good condition.

Raptors are interested in Ibaka, Taj Gibson or Gallinari.
Just get rid of that Clippers pick.
If Jimmy Butler is available, do it Masai just do it.

He was starting to contribute
Their rebounding and defense is significantly better with him on the floor.

Free Charles Oakley.
Pretty sad that he's a rookie and the only other player other than IT that knows how to draw a foul..
Yep. Smart was supposed to be that guy. He's been working on penetration lately, but he's still too focused on 3s which he's horrendous at.

Nuggets stylin
The normal group of Spurs starters are just absolute trash offensively if you ignore Kawhi Leonard. Their bench players, with Dedmon and David Lee, bail them out with really efficient scoring and good rebounding skills but their starters are carried by Kawhi Leonard.
They might as well run an isolation play through Kawhi Leonard every time because LaMarcus Aldridge isn't doing shit shooting less than 30%. They really need Pau Gasol back, even if he's a bit of a defensive liability in the pick and roll.

End of a 3 in 4 nights on the road in Denver, this is gonna be rough. Jameer Nelson is still in the league? neat.
EDIT: and Mike Miller? Whoa, who else is coming off Denver's bench?

The team honestly just looks tired. The all star break will do them well.

Iirc, they're one of the best rebounding teams in the league. Currently 9 OREB, 18 DREB, to Warriors' 1 and 11
Also, Jokic with 8 assists. God damn, he's a full fledged point center

Denver will always be one of those cities where teams will always try and take it easy if they're on a long road trip or what not.
Take that L Batum! Trying to guarantee a win against the Sixers lol.
Denver is incredibly hard to play in due to the altitude. Road Trips are already really tough in the NBA, and going to a place where it's literally harder to breathe isnt going to be nice.
Nuggets though aren't missing from 3. 16/23 for them.

No they don't.
Exact opposite. Only reason teams would rest starters there if they don't want the starters even dealing with altitude in any way shape or form on a long road trip. They're in their own timezone, are a nasty distance from basically every single team in the league (longer plane rides), and their division's teams are in Salt Lake City, Portland, and OKC, making the distance issue worse.
lol, I was just telling someone today that he guaranteed the L. he's been in charlotte long enough, he should know better than to add to the other side of the scale.

Meanwhile, Yogi Ferrell is dueling IT, and matching him
I mean, first of all, who guarantees a victory in the NBA regular season, and second of all, who guarantees a win against the fucking 76ers?, who btw don't have Embiid.
If IT could play against himself he'd average 50ppg.
LOL this is some ugly ass basketball in dallas right now, each team trying to out-suck eachother. Nothing is falling, fouls everywhere not being called, passes floating all over the place, just ugly af.
Also just saw the score of the warriors game... wtf is going on?

I went to make dinner and now they're down 20 going into the 4th. End of a 3 games in 4 nights in Denver is a disaster anyway, so rockythrowthedamntowel.gif?

Denver went 21-33 from the 3 and Jokic had a triple double, that's what. They had 20 3s with even better accuracy earlier. And 42 rebounds to 20 (Denver is one of the better rebounding teams in the league)
Also Jokic is the GOAT
Oh, the Nuggets are doing this with 9 available players, between Plumlee not being there and 5 injuries

Jokic has been an absolute beast lately. His numbers have always projected out insane, but he's really taking a big step. Dude is legit.

Get Jokic a 20/20 triple double already. Give these Nuggets the 3 pt record already
