ATL - Nico gets the boot

Horst has traded 7- 1st round picks and 4 full pick swaps since taking over as GM. The Bucks have 0 players or assets remaining from the trade tree of those deals, and still owe 3 of the unprotected swaps. We also have 0 real 2nd round picks remaining.

That opinion would not hold up under any scrutiny when looking at the moves he made which led to a championship.

His resume looks better if Middleton didn’t have his body fall apart and Giannis miss significant games in so many playoff series.Things outside his control.

Where his resume will take a hit in years ahead is the fallout from the Dame trade continues to manifest itself over the next five years.

Is CP3 the greatest unlikeable player?

I hate CP3 but I don't think I like Karl Malone more.

Westbrook leads the Kings to victory over Denver in Denver.

Harden with 55 points (10/16 from 3). I've never cared the dude's playstyle but why not go chase a ring in these twilight years instead of rotting away on the Clippers?

He literally went there to ring chase :lol:

True, but if I was him I'm trying to get a ring before I retire

Some hate his play style (pounds the ball, orchestrates for himself).

Some hate his sportsmanship, like the time he tried to undercut/hurt Giannis in the finals. Lots of trips. A few nut punches.

Behind the scenes, he is known as one of the biggest dbags in the league. Lots of stories of bullying and petty grudges.

I don’t know him enough to judge, but I have never been excited to watch him play. Hard to consider him exciting or likable. Unless you like pick and pop and 18 foot jumpers.

Trading Norman Powell for John Collins might actually have been one of the worst trades ever.

Still makes no sense why LA gave him away for nothing. I can't remember the deal back at the time. Did they do it to clear his salary for another move?

I think they thought John Collins was good because he produced double doubles. (Should have been Bobby)

He's an expiring and they didn't want to pay him. He also wasn't great the last couple of months of last season after starting off really hot.

What OKC is doing right now is absolutely bonkers. 74-wins might really be on the table and they could even break their own net-rating record.

Also: Jalen hasn't played yet, their 15th overall pick is out for the season with a torn ACL, their lotto pick from the previous year has cancer, and their 38th pick from last year looks like a budding all-star.

ETA: And they might have 3 lotto picks in an INSANE draft next summer.

Clippers getting Derozan would be hilarious. Not many guys in the league from High School/College days, but they are trying to collect them all.
