STEAL for MIA!

Am I crazy, or did Phoenix get ripped the fuck off in that Miami trade?

Not crazy. They should have held firm.

 

[Blazinaway]

they were gonna lose Dragic for Nada this summer

 

[Denny Crane]

Justin Hamilton, eh?

Two first round picks is pretty big for Dragic as well. Not as bad of a deal for PHX as my initial reaction.

Joder. This could be the OKC/DET/UTA deal

Plus Jazz got at least 1 first and 1 second pick.

No Boston I think

I'm so confused! So many moves

 

[KingSpeed]

How does that work.... Jackson AND Jennings? There will be blood!

Jennings is out for the year.

 

[KingSpeed]

But I'm thinking long term... or is Jennings a free agent?

Detroit wants to win now.

 

[B-Roy]

KG was traded back to the Wolves? Is this official?

 

[craigehlo]

The analysts on NBA TV are falling over themselves on how good OKC just got. Sure they are better at C, but DJ Augustine off the bench is a massive downgrade from Reggie.

I'm just really not that impressed with Kanter. He's good but not great.

Still... OKC got better.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Nobody will want to play OKC.

I'm hoping for a Blazers - Thunder WCF. Would be absolutely epic.

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy shit so many trades. Why did the Bucks trade their near All Star point guard Brandon Knight? They're having a great season. I'm confused. Can anyone explain this to me. Knight has worked his ass off to get to playoffs and now he doesn't get to enjoy the fruits of his labors?

The Thunder have tons of wing talent now, but where will the playing time go? Is Roberson out of the picture? Will Singler back up Durant full time? Lot's of questions here. But they sure picked up some good talent for sure, no denying. It'll be interesting to see how they all gel.

I'm hoping for a Blazers - T'Wolves WCF. Hey, if I'm going to pick a team, I want it to be the worst one possible!

But the Wolves beat us this year, lol! We're 2-0 against OKC.

They will be lucky to take the Warriors to 6 games if they can't get higher than the 8 seed. Their D just isn't championship caliber and the bench is so-so.

upcoming free agent, worried about how much he'd want when he's probably best off as 3rd guard. Got 2 PGs in Ennis and MCW on rookie deals, and a decent big in Plumlee.

I am pissed that Utah would do that. A division rival? They helped OKC. But then I guess Denver helped us.....

Troll someone else, Eric.

Lol you can't always get what you want. I think our deal makes us considerably better though

 

[maxiep]

The good news is neither Kantor nor likely Perkins will play against us on Friday.

[BlazerCaravan]

Shit, Houston finally made a good move.

Well he's not exactly the Lillard Stopper.

[craigehlo]

Houston and OKC have some big bench question marks. Not a lot of proven playoff talent there.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Denver got some young talent that they can tryout plus a pick. I don't understand why Utah would give up a offensively solid C that is only 22 years old? He's a big body and will only get better. They don't just grow on trees. What am I missing?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Kanter will get abused on defense. He isn't that good he is basically a big version of Brandon Bass.

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Was never really worried. He is gonna get big minutes.

Once Adams comes back they'll have either Adams/Kanter off the bench, along with Collison, Waiters, Singler, Augustin, Morrow and Lamb. Seems decent to me.
