lol NBA trades are wild

 

Really wonder what Harden's level of motivation will be if he returns to the Sixers. On one hand, it's possibly his final chance for a decent contract and his current worth is a trade headlined by Marcus Morris. On the other, he's just a bit mercurial, so who knows.

 

Pretty decent contract for Grant Williams.

 

Seems like a great deal for the Spurs. Mavs are so dumb that 2030 pick could be very good.

 

Spurs would have to move a bit of salary to take Herro in a trade now I think


Probably counts them out in any potential Dame to Heat move

 

Fantastic get for Dallas

 

Love it for the Bucks - no one on Boston who can guard /annoy Giannis anymore

 

Lol Grant Williams couldn’t handle Jimmy Butler you think he was our Giannis answer???

 

Well no one on Boston can stop Giannis regardless but Williams always was good to draw 1-2 charges on Giannis

losing Smart is still the biggest blow to Boston

 

If losing smart is the biggest blow this off-season, sounds like a good offseason haha

 

eh, seems like a pretty big locker room loss at the least.

 

Happy with losing smart for a large part because of the void it creates in the locker room.

Name another title contender who adopts the personality of not their star, best player, but a good role player.

Tatum and Brown need to step up and learn how to become leaders and it’s not happening with Smart in the room.

 

Fuck Boston but I feel like adding Kristaps gets them way closer to getting over the hump than keeping Grant or Smart

Derrick White also outplayed the living shit out of Smart for large stretches last season

 

Seriously. That's such a weird distinction. I wonder if the championship game will count towards the games played threshold for awards?

Dallas did well in the short-term, but that pick swap could be a mistake considering it's 7 years out and who knows where Luka is playing by then. Williams' deal is reasonable, and he shot better from 3 than Bullock last year, albeit on fewer attempts. And a fun bonus is that he wore Luka's signature shoe most of last season.

 

The same Kristaps 3 other teams have given up on?!?

 

I want to believe

 

Yes. He’s still a better player than Marcus Smart. Please exit bizzarro land lol

 

Yeah, it’s sounding like Herro to the Nets is most likely anyway.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow in regards to the Dipo/OKC trade. If it doesn’t get announced, it may be getting reworked so Miami can get their 2025 pick back and give OKC a later one. Then they’d have 2024,2025, and 2026 available to use in a potential Lillard trade.

 

Is he?

 

Well he couldn’t win with Carmelo Luka and Beal so I’m sure it’ll work this time

 

I’m just giving you a hard time but porzingas is a classic good stats on bad teams type of player

 

And Marcus Smart is a classic “not good at basketball so lemme just dive around real quick so it looks like I matter” guy lol
