He me be bitter in his skill dropping from injury.

 

[serenewarfare]

Can't wait for Ainge to come out and tell us about all the deals he almost made.

 

[Bread]

Ainge almost lands another one.

I'd rather almost land another one than get 2 2nds for Noel!

 

[Sandfox]

Well I don't know if any of the LA teams can provide good offers for George anyway.

By LA I meant the Lakers and they would be signing him via free agency.

 

[Line_HTX]

Paul George STAYS!

 

[random25]

The game is over, guys.

Finally.

 

[Cornbread78]

I'd rather almost land another one than get 2 2nds for Noel!

Now that is cold...

 

[Line_HTX]

Yup, dude doesn't have to lift a finger the rest of his life is he doesn't want to....

But he has ASSETS yo.

How ass are they?

;P

 

[Officerrob]

Well I don't know if any of the LA teams can provide good offers for George anyway.

He can just sign with L.A. after next year

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Can someone explain to me why Derrick Rose seems to not care about anything, he seems like the biggest passive aggressive NBA player I have ever seen. He never seems to have an opinion on anything, whats his problem?

He is the least passionate NBA player I have ever seen. Its like he hates playing or something.

I saw him after the first knee injury where he was crying thanking the fans, I was like this dude is cool. Now he seems so what ever. What happened? Did he get scorned by someone?

I don't think he was ever mentally the strongest person, and I think those injuries broke him. But I don't know him personally, so there's a good deal of conjecture here.

 

[Bread]

Well I don't know if any of the LA teams can provide good offers for George anyway.

They can offer him sunlight and beautiful women

 

[Into the Light]

He's rich beyond his wildest imagination.

That killed his love to win? I mean I get it, I would probably be the same. Its just crazy to me that this dudes end career will be that of a nomad passed from team to team, who would have ever thought that. Maybe the dude above was right, maybe the injuries broke him.

 

[gutshot]

Nerlens gonna lead the Mavs to the 19th spot in the first round as his parting gift to the Process faithful. #ttp

 

[serenewarfare]

Let's not forget that the Bulls traded two first round picks to get Doug McDermott.

 

[Into the Light]

if he ends up leaving, I will laugh, and point to today where Pacers got nothing for him.

These tepid GM's man. So crazy to me.

 

[Officerrob]

Lakers get Ennis for Huertas...Championship!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think PG's agent is using LA as a ploy to try and control things and prevent a last second trade. Isn't there potentially a $70 million difference in long term salary if he is traded to, say, Denver, then leaves again as a free agent?

 

[random25]

That's fine. Still one more year and anything can change. He'll be a Clipper by then.

They can offer him sunlight and beautiful women

With Magic showing him the way.

 

[Cornbread78]

How ass are they?

;P

The problem is that they are decent players, but they are not franchise players. the NBA is a franchise player league. If your not first, your a loser.


Was anyone else kinda hoping they would find a way to send Melo to the Cavs?

Only if he makes All-NBA this season or next. If not, then he's not eligible for the super-extension.

Also Deron is gone.

@MercedesNBC5

Nerlins Noel is headed to Dallas. In exchange, the 76ers will get Andrew Bogut and Justin Anderson.

Deron Williams has been waived.

 

[Bread]

Only if he makes All-NBA this season or next. If not, then he's not eligible for the super-extension.

God I hate that. Let the journalists decide who gets paid more? Whose idea was that?

 

[Matrix]

I love the Lakers right now

First they took Sewer & and now they have taken Ennis from us. Our two worst players

 

[Benjamin1981]

Those injuries broke him mentally. Remember he decided not to play despite being healthy at the end of the next season after he tore his ACL.

 

[serenewarfare]

I mean, how else would you decide who the best players are? What would you do to qualify it? All-star? Fan voted. All-NBA? Media voted. MVP? Media voted. And you can't make it a simple stats game, because then things would get really messy with guys chasing numbers.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Also Deron is gone.

Dan Griffin is like "on it, LeBron."

 

[random25]

Wow Deron has really fallen off that deep. Maybe he's the backup PG Bron needs lol.

Edit: ninja'd

 

[Into the Light]

Yeah I remember that was the start of all this weirdness.

And then he said Im not the GM I don't need to go recruit for guys. Who talks like that? Who would nt help recruit?

Dude is is just strange to me.

I don't like the idea of the best players getting a higher contract ceiling in the first place

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Marcelo Huertas is legitimately one of the worst professional basketball players I have ever seen.

 

[manzoman96]

Recap of Sixers day:

I'm sad.

 

[serenewarfare]

Buzzer beater

@WojVerticalNBA

The Phoenix Suns are trading PJ Tucker to the Toronto Raptors, league source tells @TheVertical.

 

[Matrix]

Marcelo Huertas is legitimately one of the worst professional basketball players I have ever seen.

Rockets set to waive his ass asap

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Gibson to the Thunder.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's the least they can do to makeup for the bullshit cap on salaries.

 

[Bread]

That's Lakers Legend Marcelo Huertas to you

Buzzer beater

Sully and a 1st maybe?

 

[serenewarfare]

Deals still to come.

 

[ViciousDS]

why the fuck did we pick up cameron payne?


Do the bulls seriously need another god damn guard?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Sully and a 1st maybe?

Lowry and DeRozan

 

[NervousXtian]

OKC just stole Chicago's lunch money.

2 good players for 3 shit sandwiches.

 

[random25]

Thunder got Taj.

At least that's a good help on defense.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

His exuberance matches Rondo's angst

 

[Benjamin1981]

It's all about saving money and not winning games.

 

[serenewarfare]

Deal for Tucker is Sully and 2 2nds.

@WojVerticalNBA

Sources: Toronto is sending Jared Sullinger and two future second-round picks to Phoenix for PJ Tucker.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Nobody wanted to touch Swaggy?

 

[Setzer]

I love the Lakers right now

First they took Sewer & and now they have taken Ennis from us. Our two worst players

Well anyone is an upgrade over Huertas so its not like the Rockets got anything good in return.

 

[Bread]

Shit, the Raptors got their Lebron stopper :/

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lmao apparently New Orleans tried to offer Sacramento Buddy Hield and a protected draft pick for DeMarcus Cousins. What kind of shit offer is that? Who they trying to fool?

 

[Cornbread78]

And nothing, color me shocked.

Danny Ainge is the Pelicans GM now? He needs to stop trying to win every deal.

 

[jman2050]

In two years the Celtics are going to have the largest collection of goodish but not great players the league has ever seen, so that's worth something I guess?
