I wonder if Burks will completely forget how to play again now that he isn’t on a GLeague level squad.

It will be a hard fit for him imo in particular anytime Simmons is on the floor

Atlanta apparently just trading for all the big men now

Poor Skal. I guess Portland wasn't all that enamored with him either.

Yet another player some KINGS fans cried over spilled milk over. Now if he blows up in the ATL, it won't be just the KINGS that were idiots...

Sorry, somehow overlooked that you had posted this. My bad.

Well, this just happened a few minutes ago too.

I like Bertans, but DAMN.....

I like this add for the Clips.

I'd hate to be one of the trade checkers in the NBA's league office.

This $#!& happens way too fast ....

Listening to the NBA trade deadline program on NBATV and they are reporting on the mess in Philly. Apparently Al Horford is on record admitting that there are definitely locker room problems on that team. WOW.

 

[SLAB]

When does this end? 12:30 our time?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

When does this end? 12:30 our time?

3pm ET, but I suspect that we'll be hearing about little deals that got through at the last second for a while, after that.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

More details on the Marcus Morris deal. Poor IT. How many teams is this now????

"Poor IT"? He's probably about to get him a ring, in four months.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Cavs got Drummond for next to nothing. Weird trade for both teams, though.

HAHA. Yeah, didn't even think about that. Although it's gonna be hard beating the other LA team with all the sympathy calls help they're gonna get.

Was only thinking about how many teams have moved him.

I just looked it up and this will be his EIGHTH different team. Nearly 1/3 of the league.

5th Western Conference team.
4th Pacific Division team

Just needs to find his way to GSW to cover all the bases in CA. And Portland to cover the entire West Coast.

Everyone seems to be on the Memphis bandwagon lately, but I think this is more impressive. However, they'll probably screw up all the draft picks just like the KINGS. Think OKC did well with all the picks they landed last season.

So essentially the Knicks got like...the 31st pick in this upcoming weak draft for Morris? Horrible.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Can someone explain WTF Detroit just did with that Drummond trade?

They got:
Brandon Knight
John Henson
2nd round pick

for DRUMMOND? That's it? That's all they could get for Andre Drummond?

How is that horrible? This is exactly what a bad team should be doing. Signing decent vets to smaller contracts then flipping them to contenders for future assets. There's a lot to make fun of the Knicks for, but using their cap to acquire cheap cost-controlled young talent isn't one of them.

Kings should have done something very similar with Bjelica, but apparently injuries are the only reason we aren't in the playoffs right now or something.

He is set to become a FA after the season. Isn't it better than nothing?

Yea definitely, just thought they'd be able to get a little more than that.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Oh and also, holy moly the Clippers are stacked. I mean staaacked.

All expiring contracts. For a player that has a 28M player option next season that you know he'll exercise.

So it's obviously a salary dump for DET. They clearly are looking to position themselves for FA in 2020 or 2021.

That's all I can come up with for you.

 

[jellyfish]

Could the Warriors have afforded Drummond if he used his player option next season instead of going for Wiggins?
