[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (FEB)

Celtics aren't gonna deal Tatum or Kyrie. Anyone else on their roster is probably fair game though.

Well they'd have to resign Kyrie first.

I think AD's dad saying they did IT wrong and he doesn't want his son playing there makes it a big gamble.

But that's about the only thing I see possible possibly beating the Lakers offer.

Hawks bury twenty three-pointers, including four from Vince Carter, to finish 4-3 on their Soup R Bol road trip.

Why on earth is Indiana using Tyreke like they are? I have been hard on Evans since he came into the league but he's grown on me, and I think he's worth twice what the Pacers are actually using him for.. What a shame!

Especially with Dipo gone for the year. Bad Nate McMillan has shown up of late.

Oooooof.... that contract is going to hurt.

Be a shame if the Wizards had to pay all that luxury tax on that big Otto Porter contract, wouldn't it?

Is being a Wizards fan the worst fan to be right now?

1) Franchise is in perpetual mediocrity
2) Current team sucks
3a) Owner/GM is terrible
3b) Owner/GM won't make trades
4) Wall is out forever
5) Beal is prob frustrated

There's literally nothing this fanbase has to look forward to. Not a glimmer of hope.

Am I missing anything?

 

[Tetsujin]

Maybe the whole "The Lakers will be fine as soon as Lebron comes back" narrative was a bit presumptuous.

 

[miltonap]

Lakers and Clippers both losing, can I get a YEE!!!!!

 

[kingdivac]

Lakers fall to 27-27 -- 1.5 games back. Not really breathing room, but Kings have their own opponents to worry about.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Damn you beat me to it, just came to post this, 42 point lose with Lebron playing 30 minutes?

HAHAHAHA

 

[Suicide King]

Clippers came back from down 20. Bummer. At least IND smashed the LAbrons

This could be a train wreck ... I'd better get the popcorn.

They want Walton fired and half their roster is waiting to be traded. It is a total cluster**** down there I love it

They are offering up ALL of their young talent and the Pelicans are like "meh":

- Ball
- Kuzma
- Ingram
- Hart
- Zubac
- 2 #1s

Magic is blowing up Dell Demps phone and he is letting it go to voicemail. Then the Pelicans finally counter offered after the conversations were totally one-sided and asked for all of the above AND 4 more #1 picks!

Trade Negotiations Off

Now they can come back to the table and get something done before 3P Thursday but I think the Pelicans have to reroute Ball to Phoenix and Phoenix has to be willing to overpay to make the deal more palatable. The Pelicans do not want to trade for a player who doesn't want to play for them, that is what got them in this predicament in the first place.

 

[Tetsujin]

Man, the T-Wolves are kinda bad.

Lakers getting pummeled by Indiana was great, but a Clippers loss would of been ideal

 

[fnordius]

Clippers' last second win means no 8th-9th tie for the Kings, but being 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers is still sweet. Lakers next game is @Celtics, will they fall below .500?

The rumored Laker offering is just ludicrous. It'd be like the Kings offering Fox, Bagley, Giles, Hield and a two #1 picks. Maybe that's all it is, - a rumor
That's got to make the young players feel disrespected if at all true.

 

[miltonap]

How good is Stanley Johnson ?

Whatever it is I hope the Pelicans come out ahead. Can't stand what the players are doing. People making this argument about how it's unfair that they don't have a say in where they play for the first 8 years, and have to leave so much money on the table if they want to play elsewhere. HELLO WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, we don't get everything we want in a job! League is going to become this BS collusion filled nonsense.

How good is Stanley Johnson ?

Great defender, horrible on offense.

He was a project pick during the draft with what was said to be huge upside, but it hasn't worked out that well. He can slash a little bit, but can't shoot at all.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Speaking of Stanley Johnson, the Pistons just swapped him with the Bucks' Thon Maker.

That's a win for the Bucks IMO.

Tyler Johnson traded to Phoenix.

Return for him not yet known.

Johnson has a player option for $19M next season. Oh and did I mention he sucks? No idea what the heck the Suns are doing. Like, did the Suns actually give up assets to trade for Tyler? Simply brutal unless it turns out they're getting picks too.

Edit: Suns trade Ryan Anderson
