Well, they've disabled a bunch of stuff including avatars, sigs, smileys, etc in hopes that it won't. We'll see.

i hope so as well, the trade deadline was such a crazy thing and it sucked not being able to discuss it with people because the forum was down

@SportsWhispers: Blockbuster deal in the works if Russell goes #2 to #Lakers: (See next tweet)

@SportsWhispers: One scenario: Boston trading up to #3 (Okafor), Suns to #4 (Prozingis), 76ers to #13 & Knicks to #16. E.Bledsoe to NY, M.Smart to PHI

Really makes sense to trade Bledsoe if we plan on signing Knight and bringing Bogdan over next year. Still have Archie too who needs minutes. Plus Tucker can play SG to allow Warren to get minutes at SF. Coro said it ... Knight is a leader ... Bledsoe is not.

Celtics wins that trade by a big margin: They get pick 3 for Smart + Pick 16, with Knicks coming in at 2nd.... 76ers gets hosed.
Suns get Pick 4 for Bledsoe and Pick 13
Knicks get Bledsoe and Pick 16 for Pick 4
76ers get Smart and pick 16 for Pick 3.

Smart is NOT athletic enough to be a star... BUT... he can be a Chauncey Billups level PG eventually if he develops a long range game also.

76ers potentially pass on a Tim Duncan-esque offensive level big man.... if they are targeting Oubre at Pick 16, maybe thats understandable... high upside.

Tucker and Morris twins will be shopped in the season (IMO), if a "fair" deal comes up.

It looks like The Celtics will trade Sullinger and #16 or #28 for #9.
After that, #9 and Marcus Smart for #3.

I would say its not going to happen.
Nothing exciting will happen and I will be disappointed in Booker, Turner or Lyles

Now, if WCS falls or the Suns make a trade - even for kaminsky a 9 - I will like it. Do something dammit!

Alright guys. We got Booker in the draft. What is the plan for FA? I would love to trade Tucker/Morii and put fuel in the tank for the next two seasons. Thoughts?

Trade Bled for a protected first rounder to a lotto bound Eastern team and make them relieve us of Tucker/Morii. Don't match the signing sheet to any offers for BKnight as an RFA and let him leave. Deal for David Lee and take on his massive contract as our starting PF. Have a 2 SG starting backcourt of Goodwin and Booker. There you go a recipe for tank success

That is not a bad idea. Pretty much means we will get killed in the West. Guaranteed worst record in the NBA?

I'd do it.
Pick #4 next year (since Suns luck means they get leap frogged)

Play Goodwin, Booker, Len, Warren 36 minutes each.

It's a throw away player. Suns traded this years 2nd for leuer whose contract isn't guaranteed. Basically a salary dump.

Wrong...

@AZSports: Phoenix Suns select, trade Kentucky guard Andrew Harrison to Memphis with No. 44 overall pick http://t.co/TyVLM9lCVe http://t.co/t347SqrATH
