We should allow posts of trades. ESPN takes 3 years to get that info out

If you're watching a ESPN broadcast as most of us are doing and they haven't said anything then don't post it.

OKC got better. Don't see why people think the trade increases his chances of leaving.

For the record, if it is a Knicks trade, I'll allow it.

Special circumstances.

Drives to the hoop. Plays with energy.

Better than Roberson, no?

Yeah...I'm not seeing this as a needle mover for Durant.

I always thought it was a long shot that we'd get him. Maybe we still can if we offer his full max. Would that be a good idea tho?


Good question. I dunno

This is a GREAT trade for the Thunder, unfortunately. A backcourt duo of Westbrook and Oladipo!? So much pressure on the opposing defense. Plus, Oladipo is a great defender on the perimeter, so they won't need as much shot blocking anyway. And with Adams emerging, Ibaka wasn't as important anyway, and they got someone in Sabonis who will probably be a much better low-post scorer than Ibaka.

How can Durant leave that team? They're stacked everywhere now.

A lot of Magic fans like Fournier more than him...said that Oladipo was selfish, overrated on defense...he also can't shoot

he does have talent tho

Since when is ESPN the official trade announcer? No one ever heard of Twitter?
Everyone breaks news before ESPN.

You guys need to modify the rules a little...no?
