He's not, but he's not really bad any more and gives good effort to that end.

Did anyone think Seth Curry was Q2n8 last night?


Not sure, but Breen probably called him Nowitzki. He called everybody else Nowitzki.

Thought I was the only one that peeped him calling kp Dirk

Rivers wouldn't look of KP

His daddy isn't here to give him the green light

the only time when Rivers could even be considered decent is in LAC tho...I can already see him getting traded here, sucking, and then getting trashed on this board


As someone coming here because of Melo, I will definitely stick to this board and enjoy the blame game that will continue for centuries to come after Melo is gone :lol:

Who will be the next target of those clowns, to be continued

So the question is do we take a crap offer now and get whatever we can, or try to wait until the offseason to see if we can get a better deal?

Austin Rivers is not a good player. Period. If he's a expiring contract, then it's plausible. Who in this organization says this mediocre player was worth having?

Not bad at all

Plus they have the cap space to absorb him for almost nothing, as well as a bunch of assets. We wouldn't get much, but we could probably get a first + Randle. And with Embiid mentioning playoffs, the management is gonna be under pressure to perform. Plus Rose adds star power to their team


Philly not giving up a 1st for Rose. But they might give up a 1st for Redick when we get him though.

Sacramento's 2019 is a maybe
Plus Philly's pick would be mid-first

With Melo on the roster we are going to end up at 12
Once you blow it up we could be looking at top 5 pick

take the crap offer, the point is to tank, waiting it out will just lead to a worse draft pick. and since he has an ntc it's going to be the same **** offer

Any offer is going to be underwhelming because of the no-trade clause and his apparent desire to leave. Just get rid of him now.

The best part of this trade is how far we'll fall on tankathon.com That top 5 pick is ours.

I'd wait until the summer because of the better options I think we might have but I don't think anybody can put up with another 6 months of this. Everybody is ready for this thing to be over already

Especially when they cut way into KP's minutes and shut him down with 20 games left in the season.
