    Cavs can win East this season.They have better coach from GSW dynasty and if Porzingis isn't playing Horford has zero chance vs Mobley and Allen .

    Lillard has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors after entering the league's concussion protocol, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
    he reportedly took a shot to the head near the end of the third quarter vs C Bags and was evaluated further Monday after experiencing headaches and dizziness, which resulted in the diagnosis of a concussion, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes

    would be really weird timing for such a trade, as both teams could have made this move in the summer.

    You know, purely "internet bro" take on this one but he needs a change in locale. A guy his size who just seems to naturally put on weight needs a LeBron level of dedication to his body and his diet to stay on the floor. That's really tough to do in a town like New Orleans. We used to joke that we gained 5 pounds as soon as we stepped off the airplane there and we were only half joking. Tons of good food. None of it healthy.

    NO traded Dyson Daniels and he's flourishing in ATL. He's like a pre bonkers Ben Simmons like defender out there - terrific size and athletic ability

    he needs a change of scenery. i think miami could get more out of him, and i think NO would be better off with a fresh start. i could probably think of several teams that should be willing to take a chance on him and maybe give up something to take a look at him. washington's a team that is just totally ruderless with no real path to a superstar.

    I don't like this move unless we know we have someone like Schroeder coming back. You're just trading one gap (backup C) for another (losing all your bench scoring).
    Dlo needs to be moved if only to make the most of his expiring contract but he's also not a scrub and you need to replace his scoring/PG duties.

    the contracts would mean that either sexton (my preference) or clarkson would have to come back.

    i'll be surprised if this is what's going on, though. probably just coincidence.

    Clarkson has been trash and he's been unsuccessful basically with any team with playoff ambitions. Sexton/Walker would definitely be more interesting.

    Edit: one caveat is that I think Sexton tries on defense but his defensive numbers look pretty bad. Arrgh need to find some 2 way players

    wouldn't be surprised if he's coached his last game. a stroke at that age isn't something you want to mess with, especially when working two high stress jobs like pop does

    wishing him the best

    No to Robert Williams
    If C Bags get rid of him there's definitely an injury related problem.
    He averages less than 37 games per season
    Hell ,noo

    We have to prioritize someone who can stay healthy. We don't need another injured guy.
