Notice OFFICIAL Around The NBA Thread- November 2020

[Chris Craig]

Portland just gave up two firsts for Covington, and their firsts will be better than Milwaukees

Convington will be better than whoever the Blazers draft at 16 and probably in the 20's next season. He's worth it. Basically we moved Ariza for a younger better Ariza

 

[B-Roy]

I wish they gave the 2022 pick instead of next years.

I think the '22 draft is the 'double' draft where HS students can be drafted again.

Milwaukee also gave up two pick swaps.

Not sure if shared yet, but this is very interesting regarding why Rockets are continuing to blow things up >> https://www.tmz.com/2020/11/17/james-harden-houston-rockets-ric-bucher-revolt-tillman-fertitta/

""James Harden and many others in the Rockets' org. all want OUT of Houston ... and it's all reportedly because the team's owner is a big Donald Trump supporter.""

It’s true..

Everything that Trump touches dies.

Toxic MF.

Yeah, he is going to end up having to sell the team

 

[Pinwheel1]

Weren't a few people proposing that the Blazers be boycotted when Paul Allen gave $100,000 to the republican party a few years ago? (Along with giving money to the Democrats as well)

REPORT: JAMES HARDENWants Out Of Houston ...DUE TO OWNER'S TRUMP SUPPORT

 

[Pinwheel1]

What do they want to see how the draft goes for them? Fuck that. They should not get to extend the deadline.

 

[tlongII]

Hayward will take the extension. Too much money to pass up.

 

[GoBlazersGo]

Hayward will take the extension. Too much money to pass up.

That's what I'd figured, as well... then I read that numerous teams want him locked-up long-term before trading for him. Now, I'm not so sure.

 

[handiman]

Ariza bailed on the team and just wasn’t going to work here. I think we got Covington dirt cheap if you ask me!

Is that the mood around the team, or just your opinion?

Totally my opinion. Should have prefaced that.
You know what, that’s the first time I’ve ever typed prefaced!!!!

Yup. That’s exactly how I look at it too

 

[MickZagger]

Not sure he’s really worth that. When they have Tatum and Browns rookie deals expiring soon

 

[MickZagger]

Holiday is nice but the Bucks gave up too much to get him

 

[craigehlo]

Holiday is nice but the Bucks gave up too much to get him

Not if they resign the Greek Freak. In that case, it was well worth it.

[wizenheimer]

The first for this season wasn’t going to amount to anything.

I was responding to a post that questioned the Bucks 3 firsts for Jrue Holiday

 

[Natebishop3]

LOL what a horrible trade for both teams.

 

[craigehlo]

Wall for Russ? 2 players making $40 million and there might be one good knee between the both of them.

I wasn't dissing the trade for Covington

all I was doing was comparing what Portland paid for Covington in draft picks, to what Milwaukee traded for Holiday in picks.

 

[blazerkor]

Do Bucks now have the best starting five?
Giannis
Middleton
Jrue
BroLo
Bogdanovic

Everyone good-to-great. Weakest is possibly Bogdanovic, but he's elite at shooting, which is super-valuable for the Bucks, and if he could get shots on the Kings, imagine how open he'll be in that lineup.

I just don't know if anyone can have a better starting five than a team with role players around LeBron and AD.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I kind of feel for Rubio. He did a really good job for them last season: he helped transform them defensively and adapted his game to suit Booker. I heard a rumor OKC was interested in moving up to take LaMelo Ball - I wonder if he'll be moved as part of that. But I guess they gave him a nice fat contract, so he can't really complain.

Ricky Rubio: Those in charge have to understand that players are also people

 

[wizenheimer]

Milwaukee also gave up two pick swaps.

to New Orleans, so, they very likely gave up nothing. Unless Giannis leaves, the Bucks will be picking in the 28-30 range for a long time
