Paul George for this?
I guess it's gonna be more fun to watch GSW beat the shit out of them next year, but man. Someone compile these star trades: Cousins for a Chipotle burrito, Butler for Space Jam champ, CP3 for a sampler platter of nothing, and now Paul George.
Love's value must be about 12.45 in cash considerations.

Btw, next year's free agency:
LeBron
CP3
Russ
PG
Melo
Wade
Boogie
If I have cap room this year, I still mostly wait. Keep max space available (and don't use it on Wade or Melo ffs!)

I honestly think it's Lonzo just because Simmons and Fultz gon fuck each other number's up
Also this July 1 deadline means fuck all and everyone knows it
cavs already sleepwalking through the regular season and getting #2 in the east
next year is going to be even more of a joke lol
2-3 and 60 wins minimum. Jimmy Buckets and PG13 will be around .500 all season.

Well they should get a pg cause like Frank ain't a pg. The guy is an sg. All his weakness (handles, turn over prone, slow burst) are all very concerning on the pg role. Shift him to sg, he suddenly becomes a better prospect.
Knicks should have traded for Rubio. He and Frank+Porzingis would have been great defensively.

"Let's just say the entire league seems stunned that Indiana didn't go for what the Celtics were offering for Paul George... Story up soon." -@SteveBHoop
I agree but Zizic could be starting for a 55+ win Celtics team and doing the majority of their rebounding.

It's Dennis Smith Jr. imo. He's gonna profit so much from Carlisle and the spacing the Mavs will give him.

If Rick doesn't bench him, DSJ might win ROY. He just too perfect for what Dallas runs.

When you sweep the East 41-0 shouldn't be that hard to get 30 some wins in the West when you just skipped to a 16-1 championship.
4 All-stars might be tough but that's just more rest for Klay and Green

To be fair, LMAo was pretty decent in the regular season. He sucked ass in the playoffs but I'd take a shot.
Don't give him any ideas.
I've been saying - the game has changed because of the superteams. Not just the fact that they exist, but the idea that more and more the players are the factors in determining where and when they happen.
Also, consider the 'stars' traded recently. Boogie, Butler, George. All legit great players by any measure. And what did it get the teams that drafted and groomed them? Headaches and further lotto picks, mostly.
I wouldn't want to be an NBA GM right now weighing near and long-term competitive and owner pressure.
The FA deals tomorrow are going to be fascinating to see.
Personally, I don't really trust Bulpett for C's coverage.

a LMA/Hortford frontcourt ain't defending the rim/rebounding for shit.
Oooo I forgot all about my boy, if he does start all season and is good...yeah
If he can score more than 10 a game and average 10 as well...I can see it

I'm shocked thats all it took to keep Nene. I guess the market for centers isn't going to be completely batshit insane like last year where almost every single deal has ended up being a disaster.

Fireworks!
Next year will be even more crazy than this year, because even with all of these moves so far no one is fucking with the Cavs or Warriors.

is there news on the spurs being interested in Hortford?

But they'll kill you with those long two's and unnecessary what-were-you-thinking three's.

Nene played great for Rockets. What a bounce back from the Wizards where he looked absolutely done as a NBA player

nah someone in here mentioned the possibility of Celts going after LMA if they strike out on Heyward.

But Hortford is actually solid at hitting threes. That being said I want no part of LMA.

I think it's the extra years. On top of that, the Rockets did a great job playing the prevention game with Nene's injury history, restricting his minutes and games plays and thus helping him have a really great season when he played.
He went nuts in the playoffs because of the days off and everything. Such a great asset.
League would have been somehow even more fucked if the Warriors snagged him last year.

Wait - Woj literally starts working for ESPN at midnight? What incredible timing.
Ninja Scooter

Even ESPN making more acquisitions than Danny.
Like KD and Curry, what a duo.
Also, can I just say the Clips played themselves? Best case scenario this is Elton Brand 2.0 for like 50 games.
Lionel Richie

True. I think LMAo would help with the rebounding though and he's a big body, Boston needs big bodies lol. That being said, I don't love the idea, I just don't see anyone else left for Danny to trade for right now.

Morey is like one signing away from GM's version of Pop, he's the Rockets' best asset, not Harden. Nene deal is sweet.

He's a FA but no nba doctor is going to clear him to play
