He did 2, but 1 was trash.
Fournier is a fairly decent trade. Dude is talented.

4th seed maybe. They're too far behind the top 3 seeds.

LOL ROCKETS WHY

Ew, yeah no doubt Raptors hung up the phone.

Rockets are pitiful for accepting that offer.

If everyone knows he's signing with the Heat, and if teams don't think he's worth his current contract, then there isn't much of a market.

There is some chatter the Hawks may be looking at waiving one of Goodwin, Bruno, or Mays and signing a big.

Who are some of the buy-out candidates? Otto Porter in Orlando? Kelly Olynyk and Avery Bradley in Houston?

Was actually just looking is over.

Aldridge and Jabari Parker just got released, so they're off the list.

Main guys are:

Andre Drummond
Hassan Whiteside
Avery Bradley
Kelly Olynyk
Gorgui Dieng
Austin Rivers
Mike Muscala

There are some other guys who are candidates, but they actually fill a need on the roster, so there is probably a slim chance.

Otto Porter Jr.
Jeff Teague
Wayne Ellington
James Johnson
Mo Harkless

The Magic should release Porter and Teague. If you're going to tank, might as well go all out. The Pistons like Ellington, but I can see them doing him a favor so he can latch on to a playoff team.

Rockets are folding. They are full on into their tank to get assets. It starts with being top 3 this year.

Still if given the choice of being the Rockets with their picks or being the Kings, I might still prefer to be the Rockets.

This new Kings GM certainly doesn’t sit on his hands. Fox and Haliburton gonna be the last two standing in a few months :lol:

They should waive Goodwin. I don't think they should consider moving on from Mays yet.

I like Mays as well. I also like the undrafted rookie Knight. Bruno so far has been mostly a disappointment. A excuse to use him is for dishing out a few fouls. Goodwin is a fan favorite but only useful in a pinch.

Portland fans or those who watch Portland, do you guys worry about not having many good man defenders?

Who will guard star guards such as Harden, Kyrie, Mitchell, Cp3, Murray, and Luka?

And then the worse problem may be larger wings:
Lebron, KD, Kawhi, PG, Giannis

Am I worried? No. This team isn't a contender. There's nothing to worry about, Portland's heading towards the end here at some point soon.

Would love to get Kelly back. Get it done Ainge!

Apparently the Rockets and Wall are discussing a buyout? If so, it's going to be interesting to see how much money he gives up.

JustLucky · Post #535 » by **JustLucky** » Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:31 am

I really think teams will regret not upping the bid for lowry. he easily would have been their marc gasol. holding out a 6th man in hero and 10th men for the laker and phili scrubs was foolish. I mean you can less blame pat riley since he robbed some bigger idiot

How are you guys feeling about him? Do you have more faith that the team can turn the corner with him running things?

That would be a absolutely Rockets type move

I honestly don’t know why the Sixers or Heat didn’t up their offer, I can’t see Raptors not being reasonable in their asking price. You mean to tell me if the Sixers put Maxey and a first round pick or 2 on the table Raptors wouldn’t accept? Or if Miami didn’t put Precious, Nunn and a first round pick on the table the Raps would say no?

I don’t think the Lakers were ever a serious contender. I’m a Lakers fan and then holding out THT is a complete joke
