Did misread or skip something, why? It said he has done everything asked, he is avg. around 15/7? Yeah, I don't get it.

He has a team option for next season and effectively is a 20M expiring contract. I’m betting they see him more as a trade asset to help another team clear space for next summer and dont want him to get hurt.

I have a weird feeling the Lakers end up with at least one of Lillard/Beal in the next two months, with the other joining sometime before the start of next season. Those guys were built to play with LeBron.

Ingram will headline the first package and some combination of Kuzma/Hart/Lonzo will headline the other.

Not sold on Portland trading Lillard....BUT if that happens Danny better be on the phone asking about Nukic.

Defense, rebounding, low post offense, showing range on jumper, good passer, team friendly deal, improving yearly. Would be a great add for when horf starts to show more decline and for allowing horf to play as a PF

That franchise is clown show, Forman and Paxson run the worst front office in the league. Certainly makes you appreciate how Wyc, Danny and Brad are all on the same page.

Or at the very least when the coach and management aren't on the same page we get creative. Like that time we tried to trade Doc Rivers!

when that trade went down i wondered how soon before toronto fans had buyers remorse, so far they seem okay with a part-time player that's missed 1/3 of their games

Pacers would take Philly out in a playoff series, probably in 6 even with Jimmy as Jimmy always chokes in the playoffs. Sucks for Embiid though his numbers are back up but now they're taking Ls.

3 team deal with the Wizards trading for Ariza.

I don't get why Washington would do this. Ariza is not that much better than Oubre. Desperation move.

Seems like a move that does not change much. Good pick up for Memphis depending on what they have up.

butler definitely the alpha on the sixers...embiid better shut the hell up and defer to him if philly wants to even survive try to get anywhere come playoffs. Give me a elite wing over any elite big any way of the week.

btw trae young is definitely the bust of the draft...shooting less than 25% from three. Too small (5'10" at best when not counting his hair) and lacks athleticism...these aren't things he can ever improve.

The 76ers have absolutely zero depth and are led by two losers and a cancer. They aren't even a threat, and anyone who thought they were was kidding themselves.

The Pacers, on the other hand...those boys can play. They wouldn't beat us, but they have my attention more than any other team outside of Toronto in the East.

Losers running the losing teams.

Trade off because Memphis and Phoenix didn't know which Brooks was in the deal?

The Austin Rivers blockbuster has stalled.

Maybe GM LeBron had his flunkies in Phoenix stop the trade.

Better to look to Markelle for trade fun.

Detroit or Orlando.

Those who are rude to Mother Fultz, that seems to be silly, there is nothing wrong with looking after your children.

T Ross to 76ers, Fultz and Korkmaz to Orlando. 76ers get out of the money. Might make sense, and as fans of both teams would say no it must be fair.

Not a bad night for the C's. Kings lost, Memphis lost, Raptors lost, Sixers lost and C's won.

All the Mel Brooks gifs, with the Brooks fiasco with Phoenix/Memphis/Wash.

Dipo has played the last two games.

They were 7-4 without him during his 11 games absence. They are on a 6 games winning streak and just beat the Bucks and the Sixers.

Must've missed that! Still incredible how they've kept afloat like that

We will finish first in the eastern conference because we are the best team on paper. Have the depth unlike other teams. Just need to keep rolling and winning. We need jaylen brown to pick up his play. He had himself a couple of nice games until last night.
