Durant injured again.
Durant sustained a sprained left ankle in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Spurs and will not return, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

 

London the capital of the Great Britain

 

Not only Lakers getting complains about FT difference.But it's really huge..

 

Here's the ones that should matter to us...

Capela

Nets

DS and DFS being accurately valued. Sharpe linked to us.


Nick Richards

Fair value especially considering how friendly the contract is.


Da Bulls

such a stupid f***ing franchise


Valanciunas

Blazers bigs and Grant

Also delusional


Kessler cost

We're interested in two Wizards

 

Non tourney games are locked.

We get to get our a**** kicked by Minny again. How exciting. We do get 4 days off between Portland and Minny though, hopefully Bron takes that time to get right. Honestly, I'd sit him in the Minny game, that way he gets a full week between Portland and Memphis.

 

I thought about that week resting too but we can beat Minny. We did in the 1st game of the season. And they're behind us in the standings, we can't give them games. I think Memphis can cause us more problems if healthy

 

didn't see the game, but memphis's general strategy on defense is to foul the s*** out of you and hope for ref fatigue, jerry sloan style.

feel like us trading for valanciunas is the league's worst-kept secret. lol, watch it not happen now, though, as pretty much every time i think a trade is inevitable, something weird happens instead.

i'll never quite understand the bulls. they couldn't give lavine away this summer, and now they're acting like he's never been injured? they're trying to get cute and sell high with both of those guys and will likely just get burned like they always do.

it's weird that we're basically talking about all the same names as we were several months ago.

re: nick richards--i actually think 2 seconds, given his contract situation, is too low a price. plus, if i'm charlotte, i need talent. i'd rather get a prospect with upside that doesn't have room to grow in their current spot.

was glad to see that the sources properly valued schroder and DFS. nobody's giving a first for schroder given his contract situation, and DFS has really been meh since leaving dallas.

dlo/rui/wood/seconds for schroder/DFS/sharpe seems fair to me. nets get a playable forward in rui, who's an expiring next year if they don't like him. they just swap one guard who's a FA they probably don't want to keep long term for another, and the seconds are for the sharpe/wood swap. i might go as far as a top-10 protected 2026 swap if bkn wants to win the optics game (we got a 1st!). in fact, i'd probably throw a lotto-protected 2026 swap into a lot of deals if it can beat the multiple seconds sweetener that seems to be in vogue.

 

Yes, you do that. Hire a dietician, dedicated trainer, etc for him and go from there.

 

This scandal is getting further
Dallas attempted 23 more free throws than the Grizzlies in the 4th quarter (26 to 3). That is the largest difference in a 4th quarter since the Clippers against the Spurs in 2015 (+24). DeAndre Jordan attempted 14 free throws for the Clippers in that 4th quarter
Luka had 16 FT .
We can only speculate,but there's rumors that NBA didn't want to see Memphis in Vegas since C Bags, Phoenix ,Lakers, Cavs already are eliminated from Cup,GSW could lose to Houston and just not enough all star players will be in play

Yeah, if you could turn Rui into a backup center who could shoot, rebound, and set screens, it definitely would be an upgrade for us.

 

Not a good fit at all, but there are likely many casual fans and/or BI stans that would bet money on it. Also it does seem logical with the klutch connection, but still.

 

We has GP2 too. I heard he might be available. Better stop gap for Vando than Cam?

 

Not a great fit but he's talented - it's all about the price. He's an expiring contract so may not cost much

 

Bring my boy back! Still my favorite post-Kobe era Laker. We need talent. Let JJ figure out how to incorporate him to our roster.
