The language in the article make it seem like somehow a buyout isn't too unlikely, despite how much is left on his contract. Really hope he's able to find his footing again in a better situation

Pistons, Cavs all in on Cade. Presti all in on making the playoffs

yeah Pistons not giving up assets and can't see them getting value (or even ''meh'' contracts) for Griffin

This could be a double positive for us though, knock on wood the Wizards don't screw this up somehow

Wizards winning is nice but Houston losing so many games isn't good for us. They are going to have a worse record than us after tonight's game and I don't see how they will improve any time soon. Also they will likely trade at least Tucker or Dipo.

Terrible job from Presti in the Westbrook/CP3 trade...how can't you get 2 unprotected FRPs and swaps?

Between Wall and Wood I think they'll win enough games the second half of the season to end around the 8-10 spot in the draft, but they might rack some Ls for a while before the ASB

I’ll take it. The best highest we’ve had in a decade is who, Sabonis at 11? That’s pretty good.

You are going to have to a stop believing in Miami.

Looks like my eye test is really really bad on Miami. No clue how they are struggling that much.

Glad I'm wrong so far

Good for Dre, but man it’s going to be tough to watch if this Nets team wins with the number of former Thunder players there. I imagine they’ve got Morrow and Dion on call in case of emergency

Wolves and Pistons so injury plagued this year. This might actually make the Wolves better though, they've got a -15 net rating with Russell on the court, and are practically neutral with him off.

The wolves are a disaster. Their roster is so bad that it becomes addition by subtraction with the guy the traded to be their number two.

Don't think they will miss Russell that much but they are so bad that it won't help either. Hope KAT can play really well and somehow they make a trade to get a bit better. I know they won't give up significant assets to improve but if they find the right opportunity, they will probably take it (they have no incentive to tank).

Minnesota has out-tanked us this year. We've lost that battle.

Feel like the tanking wars haven't even started yet, except maybe Detroit getting a head start. It'll be interesting to see who the other sellers are at the trade deadline, can't imagine the Wolves are in that group unless someone way overpays for Beasley.

I might be a bit too glass half full, but I'd bet we end up with a worse record than them at the end of the year assuming they have no other major injuries and we make a couple of the expected trades by the deadline. Edwards has looked much better since being placed in the starting lineup, thankfully. The East is what concerns me though.

I would never made that bet but agree that we still have a remote chance.

Feel like somehow between bottom 2 to 10 it's pretty open. Pistons are almost a lock for terrible seed but Wizards and Wolves have remote chances of improving. I'm scared about Houston in the West and some garbage teams from the East (Cavs, Orlando)

Remembering that this is a 72 game season makes the situation more urgent. I just don't see how we catch Minnesota. Even if we get worse, they'll likely continue to be bad. They are pretty hopeless. Orlando is another dark horse team that could out tank us if we are careful. I just don't see how get get that much worse. We've continued to play competitive basketball while missing Shai, Al and George Hill. This team just has too much fight.
