Larry David is from Brooklyn. Kevin Love to the Nets.

He opted out of his contract, but he'll show up in camp like it never happened.

Oh man how can Love turn down the chance to play with Robin Lopez and the corpse of Paul Pierce.

I don't like the Trail Blazers. Is that OK?

Stupid Mavs. First you take Aldridge away from bothering with the Spurs, and now you want to pilfer Green? Leave my team alone!

"Portland is finalizing a trade to send Nic Batum to Charlotte for Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson, league sources tell Yahoo."

whoa seriously? Not sure I like that for Portland.
Lottery team next year when Aldridge bounces.

Either Portland joining the tank in the West or they are moving him in order to sign Wesley Matthews who wants 15 million per and Alridge as well. Probably the tank.
Gerald Henderson era in Charlotte is over. Thoughts Bowser?'

I assume Vonleh is their replacement for Aldridge since he's going to the Celtics.

Help me out. Who is Nic Batum.
I would have rather included Cody in that deal. I think Vonleh has a higher ceiling and the potential to develop into the next Bosh. I don't think Cody can reach that level.
At least we're trying to make moves I guess.
edit: Lowe approval, sort of:
Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 5m5 minutes ago
Hendo and Batum are both on expirings, POR clearly likes Vonleh...but a healthy Batum is really good. I'd be worried if I were POR fan.

Maybe the Hornets have a puncher's chance at the playoffs.

Remember when Jeremy Lamb was meant to turn into the next Harden for the Thunder?

Hornets end up with Lamb and Batum. Good for them.
Wonder if Doc could have done Barnes contract to OKC for Lamb. And Crawford and Hawes for Stephenson. Still have hope for Lance making them dance.

Jeremy Lamb has turned into trade filler.
Good job, OKC.
Good job, OKC.

yeah portland is done. Batum is a key part of their lineup and will not inspire any confidence at all the future for LA to stay in town. what a damn shame.

Per what? Anybody who signs Matthews for more than one season is stupid as hell.

We can't afford Barnes unless we get someone to take Novak, and we really don't need him that badly anyways.
Henderson is a pretty good and cheap Afflalo replacement.
Vonleh is raw and feels like Meyers Leonard 2.0 which considering Meyers dev could be a good thing. It could also be a draft/free agency asset.
Batum is mercurial and always has been. I like him but he's been a frustrating player for a number of years.
I'm okay with this trade.

Apparently there is Anthony Bennett and 2nd round picks (#31 and #36) to Celtics for #28 pick.

Don't know what the point of this trade is for Boston. They need either a high pick or a star player, not a borderline role player and more lower picks.
Ninja Scooter

the 31 and 36 picks probably get you as good of a player as 28 with less salary commitment, not sure how much that matters for teams like Boston that are so far under the cap though but it's not terrible. Bennett is probably just filler at this point though.

"The Nuggets have made injury plagued but offensively talented forward Danilo Gallinari available for trade, a source told Yahoo Sports." - @SpearsNBAYahoo
Things are lining up for the Kings to trade for the 2012-2013 Nuggets.

Moving down 3 spots isn't going to ruin their chances of getting a high pick or a star player.

That has to include Randle and probably Clarkson (pls no) so if that happens I imagine the Lakers will go hard as fuck after Love and probably Drago this offseason. If we give those guys up and strike out in free agency, it's time to tank again.
I'm just hoping that the Lakers give up Randle and #2.
Of course they did. Divac you stupid fuck.

I don't know. Something about Cousins scares me the more I think about trading for him as time goes on. What if he's just one of those good stats on a bad team guys? What if he's just a bigass ref hatin' version Shareef Abdur Raheem? He shot less than 50% from the floor last year?!? Am I crazy?
I'm pretty sure he'd be more productive with a good coach like Brad Stevens then a stiff like Byron Scott.
