    yeah, wasn't ever super excited about an oladipo possibility.

    nothing's really moving me yet in terms of rumors.

    I’m all over the Ibaka rumor. He’s a perfect fit next to AD.

    Interesting quote from Derozan regarding his 3 pt shooting
    Dissecting that, I believe he would be willing to shoot 3's in a different situation and I actually believe he could make them at a high clip. He shot over 3 3's a game in Toronto...

    Oh yeeeeeeeah! Bring it! I am all in for the trade. Add Gallo or Ibaka for the MLE and we are going to roll.

    Oladipo heard back from his agent that teams weren’t falling over each other to bid up his price giving his injury concerns. Suddenly he has a commitment to his team.:ADGlance:

    There’s no way this isn’t what actually happened

    Nice find. Paints a bit of a different picture about what DD can and can't do. But I've been known to be gullible. :clap: Do you other people believe him or not?

    Jrue or Spencer would be great additions as " big names" but we don't have enough to trade for them .

    As abeer3 , nothing exciting about the names thrown around in the rumors so far , hopefully it will just stay rumors ...

    We had very little slashing capability combined with midrange capability. I see what he does being a better fit than most. Being a legit threat from 3 is important too, but he's far better than Kuzma as far as a reliable 3rd scorer.

    So... the Knicks.


    Man, that would be such a terrible fit for the Nets. Not a bad haul for Houston, either, if they're not going full rebuild and I imagine they'd be getting multiple picks as well

    Telling that Westbrook doesn’t care about winning a championship as much as being the man on his team.

    He and the Knicks are a match made in a very selfish heaven.

    The Nets would be such a Durant move, you know he’s pulling that behind the scenes. Knows he can’t win with 2 stars so he’s trying for that third.

    I don't know why they keep trying to pair Harden with other ball dominant players. It didn't work with CP, Westbrook, and sure as s*** wouldn't work with Kyrie AND KD

    I'm convinced a lot of players in the league would make turrible GMs. More impressed with names and numbers, than understanding how the best teams need complementary skills and roles.

    Hey all the Twitterphiles here .... is Serge still no longer following the Raptors and it's still the Lakers now? What does that mean exactly .... certain players on the team? Official team site? Jeanie herself?

    That is a terrible haul for the Rockets. As much as I dislike Harden's game, he's capable of carrying your team solo and get you to the playoffs. If you're going to trade him, you need players with a higher ceiling and potential than what the Nets are offering. I understand it for the Nets, though. D'Antoni only cares about scoring so that Nets team will be dangerous offensively. As for Russ, wow, when has a former MVP who averaged a triple double and is still near his prime treated like this? Just shows how overrated Russ is. He only cares about regular season stats and himself.

    If Kylie Irving doesn't screw it up with his me me BS. The Nets will be in the Finals if they get Harden. Too much talent there.
