Sixers might want Rozier tho, there's no way possible Ainge could part with him so no deal.

James Young and a conditional second round pick should probably get the deal done.

A delicious meal, served with a side of Simmons not playing a game this season. Bon appetite.

Fuck the Kings.
Sixers fans deserve this
I really feel bad for the guy to be honest. No. 2 overall pick in the draft. Seems to be in limbo with Twolves because he plays the same position as KLove, and just never recovered from there.

Kings and Lakers is such an underrated rivalry, both teams absolutely despised each other. It would be nice if they would be dominant again.
I hope you guys trade for Okafor!

This kind of hate speech should be ban worthy.
I could see Ainge trading the Memphis pick for Lou.
God damn right.

Just saw the Ibaka trade. Not a raptors fan but I think TRoss has more of an impact.
I guess I'll have to see. On paper, I think Ibaka will take them up a level a bit but the loss on the wing might hurt. Idk, I don't even watch the Raptors.

As a hardcore kings fan..
It's over. Not a welcome rivalry, that shit was ugly. At least justice was served to Rick Fox however.
Great series though. Kings lost it with free throws.
Good game tonight.

Ah yes, game 6 will live on in infamy.
I always believe that that NBA wanted a game 7 no matter what. Kings were super populAr that year from what I read. They were internationally known. No one cared about the East that year, not even The Celtics.
But the chemistry!?
I have noticed he's playing off the charts right now after a few weeks of mediocrity. Could be that they're putting more work in his hands down a player, or it could just be that he's young and he's on fire right now. Eventually I expect his play to be about where it's at right now year round.

Last year they tried Lavine at the 1, Wiggins at the 2. This year, it's been Wiggins playing up a position, and LaVine in his natural one

No NBA superstar would participate, some egos are fragile

Wiggins finally gets to play the 2 guard position he has been dreaming of.

Okafor has been a class act this entire time, poor guy

Even won employee of the month for January, hasn't made any fuss about minutes (compared to Noel, who yes is better, but did have his whole drama). He gets told he's getting traded, says goodbye to teammates, then has to deal with not being traded, and we still haven't heard crap.
He's matured alot since last year

Do it Danny!
First mock draft I seen that doesn't have Fultz going #1. They have the C's taking Lauri Markkanen. Speculates Ainge can trade down to pick him.

I'd rather trade the #1 for old ass Dirk instead of that guy

That would be the biggest reach in the history of forever and I actually like Markkanen. Not happening, Boston will pick Fultz if they have the #1 pick.

I hope Dennis Smith Jr will still be on the board when the Knicks pick.

I think I thought of a trade that works for everyone:
Knicks get: Lou Williams and Amir Johnson
Celtics get: Melo and Nick Young
Lakers get: the Brooklyn pick

Doesn't work out in terms of money.
This doesn't let you include the pick in the trade but if you pretend it does it all works out.

It's pretty much on Liberty Ballers already.
