Sixers fans have to be pissed, they went from playoff team to absolute dumpster fire the past three years.

I am seriously pissed at myself for not taking Okafor. I can't remember who I took instead of him...

Westbrook certainly thinks so, and he's the one with the ball all the time, so...

Since he's on my fantasy team, I would appreciate it if Russ keeps doing what he did last night.

Presti is the smartest GM in the league. He has positioned himself into a job where its successful to fail for years. If they still suck a half decade from now he can say "the plan is continuing to work!"

I thought the SW was supposed to be the toughest division in basketball and the NW was supposed to be the doormat division. Not looking like it so far (and I fully expect this post to be "bumped" sometime in December, but let's enjoy it while we can).
NW combined record = 4-1
SW combined record = 1-5

Dude. Porzingis is a player. Kinda vindicates Neil's interest in . A few years away, but talent is clearly there

I don't think anyone ever doubted that he was. The slight has always been that they are paying Melo this huge contract and then draft a guy who is a few years away.

The NY fans were furious. Got a few NY friends here. I think they'd be angry with anybody they picked though.

I think Melo is traded this season. To New Orleans is my prediction.

He has a no trade clause. I could definitely see him traded by February but its gonna be a city La La enjoys. Probably in the East too. Miami would be my guess.

I have no idea what she wants. Maybe it would be fine.
But for Melo I think he'd want to go to a contender and the East is wide open. Even with Melo the Pelicans are likely 6th or 7th in the conference.
Miami might be 2nd right now.

At the very least it would cost Miami Deng, Birdman, Chalmers and a 1st.

NY would most certainly do it for Winslow. Miami could even keep Deng. Miami could probably get a protected first back from NY.

I don't see any reason why Miami would give up Winslow for Melo though. I think it'd be Deng, Birdman, Chamlers and 2017 top 12 protected pick.

Due to picks owed from LeBron and Dragic trades Miami can't trade away a first round pick. NY is going to want some sort of asset. I agree Miami highly values Winslow but with Bosh, Wade being old I think they might pull the trigger all in to win now. It doesn't make sense for Miami to lose Deng since he's an expiring contract vet that could help a contender. NY wouldn't care about adding him.
Would be great if we could step in, give NY the young talent they would need, absorb Miami salary and get Winslow.

I like how it also only nets New York +3 wins.

Deng is basically a cap filler, New York could then flip him right after.

I don't think adding Melo to Miami really makes them that much better. He's a chucker. Maybe Chicago?
