Absolutely love it! Was certainly surprised to see these deals after getting home. Looking forward to watching the draft and firstly seeing how our night plays out but what other sort of league wide shenanigans eventuate.

I like the deal for Brooklyn as others have said the Mozgov contract isn't a huge issue as they won't be competing any time soon and Lopez expires after this year. Not sure what to make of Russel but they have to take some swings after Hunter effectively nuked the team.

Yeah, holy time when trades happen!

Lol at Lakers giving away Russell to get rid of Mozgov.

Guess they will draft Ball now but thats way to sell low on your former #2 pick.

With last night's Howard trade, is it more or less likely the Hawks will resign Millsap?

All we got for Derrick Williams was LRMaM. Probably a worse return than getting rid of Mozgov, a late first, and a year of BroLo.

It was worse, but I didn't know the Lakers were at this point with Russell. I figured they would at least try to use him as an asset in a Paul George trade or something.

Yea I feel like Russell is a better prospect than Caged Lon was at the time.

I don't think Russell was traded for to his lack of talent, I think it was due to his character.

Caged Hamster would be a more appropriate nickname.

If Thibs offered a package with wiggins right now, I dont think Phil would hesitate to accept.

His teams have been shyte for a while now, I think he would consider going back to the well by trying to find that wing player to play that Jordan/Kobe type role (NOT be Jordan or kobe). As much as people dislike Wiggs. I think he is the closest young player in the league that is stylistically similar to those 2 (game wise and physically, but not mentally).

Nothing makes me happier as a fan than to see the NYK and LAL down in the dumps. LAL will be able to attract top FA's but the NYK's organization is a steaming pile of dog poop and that isn't changing anytime soon.

I used to think that the Knicks and Lakers were immune to hardship rebuilds. Not anymore, the NBA is BRUTAL. The more I see the more I am anti rebuilding when it comes to teams. It's ridiculously complicated to start from scratch and get a contending squad. Even with their markets, LA and NY could be out of the playoffs for years.

Love might go to Denver. Damn imagine having to go up against Love and Jokic in the NW division 4 times a year. Not cool.

They have to get clamped up by Jimmy/Ricky/Wiggins too.

Plus, KAT looks like a school bully against Jokic

Love is the perfect PF next to Jokic. The West would be a Beast!

Screw league pass, find links to streams at r/nbastreams. I don't think there was any game I wanted to watch that didn't have a working stream
