Somebody should tell the Wizards.

Mahinmi? Washed.

Dedmon? Done.

Noah? Lol.

I'd also say that without assets the ship of trading for somebody midseason has kind of sailed wouldn't you say?

We have the Tax Payers MLE and DPE is expected to be announced soon for $5M for Dinwiddie’s injury. The Nets could go out and find a buyout candidate eventually.


Who are the buy out candidates at the position that you think might become available?

I am waiting, the market is barren.

I would be watching the Cavs. Not that they are a team known to buy guys out but they have so many big men, they have to do something.

I need to know why McGee wasn't sent to BKN in this deal. I assume a salary issue?

Rockets should've kept Levert. I like him. Overall, a good deal for Rockets to rebuild in the future. All those picks! :D

Nets should get rid of Kyrie for a good big and wing

They lost their depth and only true big man that didn't stink it up.

Kyrie is awol.

They could be the best team in the league tho. I'm lost



Ya it's nuts, I feel the same way. My brain tells me that this is an odd group to fit together, and that it would have been better to move Kyrie and keep role players & picks. However it's also possible that they are just a supernova offense and it's GG for the league, I give that a smaller % but both are possible. Nobody knows, and Kyrie is the biggest wildcard out there. He could tank the team, he could hit big shots in the finals, hell he could even do both.

Harden is out of shape but it's not like that's a big deal
The guy can still put up 35 points no matter what shape he's in. I think he legitimately let himself go just to speed up the process of the rockets being done with him.

He'll easily get back into the shape he was in a month.

Yeah well they may score 220 points a game.


That might be true in regular season but in a best of 7 series your offense won't be there every night.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kyrie gets moved before trade deadline.

It's not likely Irving, Harden and Durant will all have off nights at the same time

I think they'd have to pay the repeater tax if they kept him.

In other words, I think he would have "Oubre'd" them.

All it takes is one of them to have an off night if they are each taking 15-20 shots a game. can't score 220 with two players just taking 20 shots a game each.

If you play good D you can probably live with 2 of them having an off night.

This is why although I love Giannis's loyalty to his city and team, this is why I would've not resigned in Milwaukee so early. This may not work out in Brooklyn but it also could've just turned into a Celtics Big 3/Lebron Cavs situation where Giannis may not have enough star power to beat them. Again kudos to Giannis for staying but I would've waited till after the season to look at the landscape of the league and whether or not he can compete with them in Brooklyn. Now this all becomes moot if Milwaukee comes out the East.

Who would have thought that KD would wind up as easily the most likable player in a big 3.

See that is the beauty of the NBA; you can sit out games, whine, cry, complain about the team and owners and they'll always be some some team willing to trade for you or hand you a max contract.

they gave up a bunch of role players for one of the best players of all time and this is your train of thought? you don't have to be a contrarian about everything.
