Exclusive Around the NBA: February, 2026! (7 Viewers)

I still think that the foreign team should be selected from guys who do not play in the NBA. If you want that format then do that. Guys who play in the US/Canada have work permits to play in these NBA countries. They are playing for North American franchises. It would showcase the best players overseas who are professional hoopers overseas.

What???

You want guys who can't make it in the NBA to be selected to the NBA all star game? No thank you.

I think Ja gets moved and Giannis stays for now. Giannis sending mixed signals and Bucks not in a rush. Ja going East, likely Miami

I read that we were shopping Rupert hard for a roster spot for Sidy. They didn't mention Caleb though.

 

[riverman]

Giannis trade will probably be in the off season

 

[wizenheimer]

Is this quota system devised to ensure there are "enough" foreign players on the all star team, or that there aren't too many? Either way, it's bullshit. If a guy plays in the NBA, and deserves to be on an all star team, where they were born shouldn't decide whether they get in or cause a more deserving player to be left off. (Hypothetically)

did you know that the French word for quota is....quota?

on a scale from pleased to postal, now will you feel about us not making another move?

February is always the best Around the NBA month.

Hard to say because we have no clue what trade options Joe had.

 

[Mrvioletowl]

If we could get either Portis or Aldama, I'd be happy. Both would be great backup centers and we could move RW3 for a pick or as a part of a larger trade.

Someplace in the middle. I don't think there is anything urgent about this team... that's probably a huge indictment of Joe but yeah I'd like to see some more moves hopefully towards youth with upside with our vets outgoing but I'm prepared for nothing else.

Grant and second rounder for Portis and salary match?

 

[Cugel]

I feel like POR over values their players.

I feel its normal and many GMs do. Cronin is is more calculated. There are trigger happy GMs and Cronin ain't one of them. Not necessarily bad.

I feel its normal and many things do. Cronin is is more calculated. There are trigger happy GMs and Cronin ain't one of them. Not necessarily bad.

Four seasons into a playoff drought seems about the right time to be way more aggressive than just measured, if you want to call that trigger happy fine but this roster needs change that I don't think can wait until the summer.

The level of effort hasn't been there the last handful of games. All but last game we came out flat and last game we came out strong and then played flat until a little fight very late in the game.

Personnel needs to change. If I was Cronin I'd be wheeling and dealing like my career depended on big results because it probably does.

I'll be disappointed

I suspect they won't do a trade (other than clearing roster spots) but I fully expect people to overreact to every trade the team doesn't make. Even the ones they never had any chance at making.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

I don’t see how we don’t make a deal with Sidy and Love hanging in balance

 

[lamlor]

 

[Cugel]

Wow Joe did shit

 

[lamlor]

 

[RR7]

[Chris Craig]

Warriors dumping players?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

WTF

 

[Quatro44]

Porzingis is now the “Golden Unicorn”

 

[Natebishop3]

I do not know what Golden State is doing.

It worries me they have something big cooking

 

[Chris Craig]

He would have been a good back up center
