Around The NBA - Regular Season version (Harden traded...now what?)

[RHODEY]

Listened to a lil bit of Hahn today. He said philly now has the ammunition to get Donovan and maybe Levine. I can see the Cavs trading to Mitchell to the sixers to spite us again and they can get value for him now instead of waiting to next year for lesser value.

Come this deadline things will get interesting around the league

I hope so. Three dreams dashed at once. The suffering on here will be epic. Can't wait.

Donovan, if he really wants the Knicks can put the kabosh on that. I doubt Philly would want to deal with another Harden situation. I also doubt that Donovan will stand for being traded away to another team outside of his wishlist.

I didn't realize the Clippers got Harden without sending out Norman Powell. That's actually a solid backcourt rotation with Mann, Harden, Powell and Westbrook.

I know Wemby can hit those threes, but it feels like such a bail out for the defense if he's just throwing up long jumpers instead of going inside.

Donovan could make himself a rental if he truly only wants Knicks. Still...if Philly made the deal this deadline, that's a year and a half rental. Any team for that matter. It's worth something if you have the assets and are a contender after making the trade.

Suns Spurs ending is crazy

That was some crap officiating though. Durant was fouled twice.

He was fouled but he kept expecting the whistle instead of playing through it. That's why it got stolen. He could've called a timeout to advance the ball or protect the ball better but he kept waiting for the refs to bail him out. This is on Phoenix though for playing lazy defense because they had a big lead, allowing San Antonio to stay in the game and keep it close.

They also have Bones...

What's wrong with Suns, why aren't they playing their stars?

Knicks holding the bag again, huh? Not that I wanted Harden here, but this trade was made for flexibility. Suddenly NYK's flexibility doesn't look all that inciting. Seems like the front office is playing checkers again.

knicks clearly holding out hoping to trade for an mvp candidate.. only issue is that really feels like pie in the sky right now more than ever, the most attainable guy might be donovan mitchell at some point. i do not think we’re getting embiid

Knicks are not trading for anyone. It's back page fodder. They are playing it safe to keep their lucrative jobs.

Just like they were getting bron, Durant, kyrie

They are scared to make trades and are pretty bad at it

What good are heavily protected firsts . Or 2 seconds for your number one pick less than 5 yrs ago of whom you wouldn't develop?

NO ONES COMING OF SUBSTANTIAL value during this regime

And KAT looks like an easy negotiation if he were available and he's from jersey

Back page fodder to satisfy the fan base. Then reasons why they can't do it. Smh. Smh. Smh

This FO probably isn't trading for anyone, but your rant includes LeBron (Walsh regime) and Durant/Kyrie (Mills/Perry regime)

Didn't feel like including Grunwald or Phil Jackson or Isiah Thomas or or Scott Layden or Dave Checketts?

They are more afraid to draft talent and to play creatively offensively. This is why we're are essentially capped. We are dependant on luck and or another team wanting to deal with us.

Offensive players are shooting 26.3 percent lower when Wemby is the closest defender

[jvsimonetti0514]

the nets or the heat would be a bigger competition for Spida than the 76ers. Those guys they just traded for are all washed. I don’t even think Covington and Morris were even in the their rotation by the end of last year. Maybe if it was 5 years ago that could be intriguing for the Cavs but certainly not in 2023. They’re going to want guys that fit with Garland and Mobley’s timelines and not some washed guys and picks at the end of the decade. Plus Mitchell being a Mets fan will absolutely be held against the 76ers. I’m sure he won’t want to be in the same city as his hated Phillies. It probably wouldn’t matter at all if he was a Yankee fan and thank god he’s not. If I’m ranking who Mitchell wants, it be us, the nets, and then heat.

Approaching Mitch levels. Maybe one day he'll get there.

He's holding opponents 23% lower than Mitch, his differential is the largest in the league.
