Notice OFFICIAL Around The NBA Thread- November 2020

[blazerkor]

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

That's acting like Giannis is a lock to stay now, they might win a title and Giannis still might leave for a better city, better fit for him or perceived better options economically.

He was a lock to stay, even before the trade, as long as they did anything. He wants to stay.

The play in rules are interesting.

Basically 7 and 8 play for 7. 9 and 10 play for the right to play the loser of 7 and 8 for 8.

While the general idea is fun, what if team 7 has like a 9 game lead, and 8,9,10 are all trash. Seems a little unfair. I feel there should be a within X amount of games rule to trigger the play in.

Then team 7 should either catch team 6 or be prepared to beat a much inferior team to get in.

Fun to live in the Pistons' catchment area:

How does Dallas improve on already the league's best offense? Not sure why they need Gallo

 

[craigehlo]

OKC keeps looking for picks

Yeag exactly. Teams like that need a guy who plays defense and can sit in the corner and spot 3’s. Gallo needs the ball in his hands somewhat to be effective.

 

[LayneStaley]

Is Cuban a racist or something? On a side note my top two FAs on the wishlist are Gallo and Crowder so Gallo to Dallas sucks.

Morey started firing

Danny Green is more valuable to this Sixers team than Horford. Cheap price to get out of this terrible deal.

 

[craigehlo]

OKC must think they can flip Horford since he's on a bad contract and doesn't fit what they are doing at all. With Adams they would have two of the worst big man contracts in the NBA.

 

[calvin natt]

my god OKC has so many first round picks.

Looks like Turd Ferguson is also part of the deal.

Uh-oh!

Maybe Dame made a phone call.

How did OKC get Danny Green again?
Basketball-Reference shows he's on the Laker's roster.

Traded for to OKC for Schroder.

That's right. I forgot....

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Amazing how many untradeable contracts get traded.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

OKC has WAY too many draft picks. This is what Ainge did and he kept failing to convert them into players he wanted. Picks are like puppies - everybody loves them until they turn into actual adults (many of whom will probably be busts).

Golden State should swap Wiggins for him. They could actually use Horford.

 

[B-Roy]

LMAO, are the Kings for real? They didn't bother getting a commitment from Bogdonavic before making the deal?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Looks like Turd Ferguson is also part of the deal.
