Well they didn't want to pay Bledsoe and he doesn't provide much off the ball. CP3 will dominate the ball so I think it was a good move for them

I think it looks worse for Milwaukee, why did they join the three way trade sending Reddick to LAC and letting Phoenix get Bledose? They could've kept Bledsoe for themselves. That team made some terrible roster decisions last summer.

Eh, Bledsoe is just so much better than those guys now you can't help but think they traded down on that one. Maybe Bledsoe's value never gets as high as it currently is, but Paul gets dinged up a lot and hes not young. In reality it wasn't that lopsided of a trade at the time- Bledsoe just panned out hard in the way the Suns were praying he would. But you've still gotta be critical of the Clips, they more than anyone should have known what they had.

The shooting helps their roster balance but I'm less afraid of them than I would be if they had Bledsoe playing like he is now. Again, thats just an "if" though.

Suns are blowing out the clips. Wow

We can't even win by 10 these days.

We just don't have guys that can fastbreak. Seems like every other team has 2 guards that break down the D one on one. We have Dame, who can't finish at the rim, and nobody else.

CJ can't come back fast enough.
 
That is very true. Wes is not very athletic either and dame can't finish to save his life. We are a jump shooting team.
 
Everyone makes it sound like we have a huge lead in standings but suns are about to win their 19th game which means they are 4 and half back of us.
 
ESPN is saying that the Cavs and Lakers are talking about a Bynum for Gasol swap (and I would assume other from Cleveland to match salaries).

I can't imagine why the Cavs would do it, nor can I imagine why the Lakers would do it. It potentially gets them out of Gasols contract...but only 6 months early. Big deal?
 
For those that can stomach Tommy Heinsohn, LP has Kelly Olynyk playing the game of his life right now. Just made 2 3's and his 4th assist to go with 16pts and a block

The L*kers would do it b/c they're giving up Gasol anyway, need to suck worse to get a better pick/more lotto balls, and can cut about 20M in salary and luxury tax by trading Gasol for Bynum and cutting Bynum.

CLE? Dunno--maybe they think Gasol is better than Anthony Bennett? ;) And they aren't getting a thing out of Bynum for the rest of the year, but still have to pay him 6M

CLE gets a productive big in Gasol who they have a chance of resigning next year. Bynum there getting jack shit from and from the articles that are coming out it sounds like he is toxic to the team.
I honestly don't know why LA does it unless they think that having him in LA is going to make him back to the player he was before the trade. Could also be because Bynum was the Owners first pick ever and he has sentimental value to him or something.
 
Add one to my "didn't know that dude" category--just say a guy named Pero Antic (who looks like he's trying to be the Croatian Birdman) drill a 3.

Merely being back there won't fix his knees. I like this new Lakers owner, he's really dumb.
 
Sacto beats the Rockets in Houston. Every bad loss like this by a playoff team matters!
 
Knicks release JR Smith's little bro to make room for D-League Stud (TM) Jeremy Tyler.

God what a crap "news" site. The headline is incomprehensible, the writing is one run-on after another, and the "confirmed" source is "legit" because said source "claims" to be a girlfriend of a player. Well, that confirms it then. I hate what the "news" has devolved into.
 
Dirk just went straight to the locker room 54 seconds into the game...

"...will need to be confirmed, but if true..."

I heard SlyPokerDog will start in place of Lillard at PG tomorrow night. This will need to be confirmed, but if true, the Blazers are really making emergency moves, and this might signal the end of Lillard's short tenure in Portland.
