Isn't he hurt and out for the season?

Edit- just checked and yeah he had shoulder surgery and is done for the year.

Aside from the drama currently, leonard for league min would be a really good basketball pickup here. Before all this stuff I recall him being considered a good guy/teammate in Por.

ETA: unless he's hurt or something

Yeah, he had season-ending shoulder surgery 6 weeks ago.

But if we played the Heat in the playoffs, he’d surely shoot 15/25 from 3PT.

This post just caused me to do the Alonzo Mourning meme

He's also a chronically slow starter, so even if he decides to play, he'll likely be extremely ineffective. This deal was all about the Heat moving off Leonard.

Added bonus, the Heat have just 1 more 2nd round pickthat they can trade.

Yeah nothing to miss out for us.

Miami should've been forced to cut him instead of turning Leonard into a transaction.

Mavs have some aggressively pronounced parts in their hair

Kinda sad that there was a team actually willing to trade for him - even if they are gonna cut him.

Will DJ Wilson get a second NBA contract? I think he will. I actually like him a lot more now than I did on his draft day.

Van Gundy in the Mavs Clips game just suggested adding a "time spent whining" to the box score. I'm all in for that. Luka would easily take that end of season award out but it would be great seeing Lebron in the mix.

Very Christian Wood for this to happen with his team getting blown out.

Nic Claxton is a pretty neat player.

I'm feeling better about my "Christian Wood will never lead a playoff team" stance now that they traded all the other professional basketball players away from that team

Damn dude, Clips are 10-11 since Feb 1st.

Was so sold on the Clippers last season. Feel the complete opposite now. Something not right with them and the Celtics.

Plossum · Post #319 » by **Plossum** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 6:43 am

Yeah the Clips feel like they’re missing an extra piece. Hard to see anyone taking out the Lakers unless AD pulls a heart string.

Anthony Edwards looks incredible when he's on man. Just under 25 a night over his last 8 and 42 tonight. Still would take LaMelo #1 in a redraft but Edwards looks like a worthy #1 recently
