    Miami heat will be very scary...could even beat MIL (if not already taken out)

    Say its Waiters, Johnson, Winslow and a future 1st for these two guys

    Nunn, Butler, Gallo, Meyers, Bam
    Dragic, Herro, Iggy, Jones Jr, Kelly O

    Maybe they try to get a C back in this deal like Nerlens?

    Edit: Forgot about Dunan Robinson even....

    Remember everyone, we let guys like Williams go for almost nothing because we knew he was being under utilized on our team. We had no way to maximize his potential and we let him walk. When we knew Zubac was not the direction we were heading, we did not look to bury him, we GAVE him to one of our main division competitors because we knew they could use him. That is how we treat our players. Say what you want but we only mess with people when they mess with us first and if we are respected, we TRY to respect back. Now .... I do think that Magic made a couple of egregious errors in this regard with the way he treated DLO. I do also wonder if there was not some inside provocation but that is something we will never know. Still by and large, I think we have been very fair with moving guys who needed a better team, back when we sucked. We didn't force them to stay with us and we didn't try to maximize our profits off of their skin in the game. Players should like playing for us because they know we are either going to compete for a title or are willing to help them find a better situation in a fair manner.

    God damn GS gets to retool, can't believe KD did a stupid sign and trade just to get DJ on the team.

    Should have crushed GS for the way he fell out with them

    hope it’s not Drummond, cause I can’t see the rockets doing anything without a center after trading Capela and Nene.

    I thought Pat Riley lost his touch but man, what Miami has been doing this season is special. From a pure basketball perspective, Boston vs Miami would be so much fun.

    It was also bush league for him to act like a d***. MEM wasn't that bad, they can easily make the PO. But i guess a "star" like Iggy is too good for that. f*** him, im glad he's not on the Lakers.

    Miami is going all in , I respect that . Can't have any regrets during this season when the title seems to be the most winnable one for a long time

    Maybe. He's also 36 and has had soreness in the Achilles off and on for a few years as well as playing in the playoffs 7 consecutive years including 3 rings. It possible he's taken this opportunity to rest and take care of himself. He can't have long in him and he scored that 2 year 30 mil extension, which is apparently what he really wanted. That rest probably factored a lot into Riley being willing to take a risk like that. From a money perspective, Andre played this out well.

    brabra something?

    https://twitter.com/JaMorantEra?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1225398341330231296&ref_url=https://s9e.github.io/iframe/2/twitter.min.html#1225398341330231296

    seems like he's called basically this entire trade deadline in advance of all reporters. for example, he had that minor glen robinson move a couple days ago, i think?

    he's been banging the drum that morey's about to strike a huge one since last night.

    dude's also claiming lakers are standing pat and lebron's pissed. by the tone of his general tweets, i'd say he's connected in some way to russell westbrook.

    Glad to hear Drummond is staying. He's been linked to the Clipps in recent days. Don't want them getting any frontcourt help. Hopefully they fail trying to get Adams as well.

    Knicks trying to give themselves a shot at a star...



    Considering the poor fit in Philly with Joel and Towns pouting this week to the Minny media. Wouldn't surprise me if at some point one of them ends up there.
