2020-21 Around The NBA Thread

Indiana could get a very very good package if they decide to trade Sabonis/Turner/Brogdon. Think they will wait (this offseason or next season) before trading all their valuable players.

If we are ''tanking'' next season, gonna be difficult to compete against Orlando.

I’m going to temporarily lock this for today so we don’t inadvertently get two trade deadline threads going. If something big happens unrelated to trades, I’ll unlock it. Post all trade stuff for okc and others here.

Miami losing 6 in a row isn't the worst thing in the world for us.

Should be happy about LMA not signing in Miami but I hate KD/Harden/Kyrie way too much ;(

Could still cost us Miami 1-2 seed so it's good for us. Miami schedule is pretty easy for the next game...hope the Celtics/Hawks/Hornets keep winning games.

It just feels like they are one Jimmy Butler ankle sprain away from the lottery. It's hard to believe they've lost 6 in a row.

their schedule is easy but they lost to some bad teams so...

A Jimmy Butler ankle sprain in their last 10 games + play in (we need the rules) could change everything for sure

At least that pick will likely be in the late 10's and not around 25 so that's already pretty decent.

Ya and I'm ok if twe rade up with the Miami pick from something like 17 to 10. It doesn't feel as big of an asset waste as trading up from say 11 to 6 with our own pick that should have already been in the range if we hadn't overachieved.

Meant to share this earlier. Kind of funny.

I absolutely despise giving any form of attention to garbage media like SAS, but Russ' answer was so good I thought it was worth sharing in case anyone hadn't seen it yet.

Long thread of JJ calling out the Pelicans front office. Glad the Thunder have made an effort to have a positive reputation among players/agents over the past few years, small markets can't afford to do stuff like this

Looks like he was high on Kenrich Williams

Guess Kenrich is one of the most underrated players amongst casual fans. Not that he's that good but most fanbase don't even know him...

Off topic but what else did NOLA wrong in the past 6 months? If he's talking about the Jrue trade, that's kind of weird.

Not a great move from Griffin to piss off a player that has a big voice amongst players to get a 2nd round pick in return

I love portland’s lineup right now. Dame, McCollum, Powell, cov, and Nurkic are gonna cause some problems for any team.

Imagine if Nurkic was his pre injury self. Right now his best skill is not going kanter, but he was better than CJ a couple of years ago.

Wizards are so bad omg. We will need to play 4 vs 5 to lose the two games against them.

We are unlucky some decent teams in the East like Boston and Indiana are underperforming...Miami will probably end up 4th.

So long as Beal and Westbrook is playing and SGA isn’t we have a chance .

We’ve had so few games where the team doesn’t show up and compete hard. Losing 1 out of 2 feels like a best case scenario.

We need our opponent to try hard !

Did you all see the KD Michael Rapaport thing? Durant and the internet and being weird again.
