Lol the Pistons want to trade Avery Bradley. Danny Ainge is a jazz man

redarrr:
hmmnm..lemme count how many shooters lebron has in his team nd they are as follows; Isaiah Thomas, j.r smith, crowder, Kevin love, Frye, Korver...I don't think he need shooters,d problem is they play small nd they have good defence so they need to play defence nd also catch rebounds..they also need a big man which will catch rebound nd blocks
The Cavs have the personnel to at least not be a terrible defensive team. What they lack is the will and the coaching

Clippers and Pistons trying to do a trade. Heard Blake Griffin is in the mix. Hmmmm

That guy and Aaron Gordon. Mentality of Kobe, skills of fygggygggffdttyggggfhds

But the rumored offer for Blake seems a little on the high side for me
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 12:33am On Jan 30, 2018
JB is back!!!!!!

The Bucks don low-key get Big 4 oooo. It's about time...

Let's see how their run may be once JB gets back his minutes.
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 12:40am On Jan 30, 2018
Lol. All that for Blake Griffin who'll most likely get injured come playoffs

Pistons are a joke...grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 12:49am On Jan 30, 2018
And to think He's one of two reasons Clippers are back in playoffs mode. So, Clippers rebuilding right?

Pistons going for something short term in that colluded East with a player on crutches leading them


I sincerely don't know which team got the bigger laugh grin

Phew...
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 12:59am On Jan 30, 2018
The GM of the pistons should be subjected to 70 strokes of cane in public for such horrendous trade. How do you give up Harris, Bradley, Marjanovic, 1st and 2nd round pick for a player in decline who can not stay healthy.

Great business by Rivers and the Clippers I must say. They are effectively under the luxury tax with a deeper roster.

It's a heist! I can't believe they are giving away Tobias Harris and Avery Bradley for Blake Griffin who is always injured

I heard they are also trying to deal Lou Williams and DeAndre so maybe the rebuild is on. Speaking of biggest laughs

The biggest laugh should be for that buzu DeAndre Jordan the weak-willed wimp who allowed himself to be held hostage by the players who have all eventually left him whether intentionally or otherwise. As my Yoruba people would say

Lool who is talking about the Jeff Green and Love matter? Didn't you see how Love handed the ball to IT?

Love deserves to be treated with a bit more respect is all I'm saying. If D.Rose went on a two month sabbatical without any fuss Love surely should be given a day off without his integrity questioned
You weren't there. You don't know how the meeting went dowm. Just because IT disrespected him doesn't mean the others followed suit. Besides, everything seems fine now as far as love and the other guys.

Funny thing is I'd trade Drummond before either of those guys. He's killing their cap space and is limited in the modern game.

When was the last time the best player on a Championship team was 6'1? There's a ceiling for any team with it's best player barely 6feet with 6'10 guys that can move like guards. Its just the way it is
All through through time regardless of era very few smalls have been able to achieve that with Isaiah being one of this handful. But its one thing carrying a team or even being just competent and another struggling or being a liability.

I reckon 6'0 and above you're fine in the NBA cause you're at least big enough to guard other guards. Probably the best defensive PG in the league Patrick Beverly is 6'1 and Chris Paul is an elite point guard who is also a great defender. Isaiah is too small to be a starting point guard in any era without causing defensive issues.

Clippers organization starting from the coach are the curse. There's nothing spiritual at all...

These same people prevented Jordan from leaving last 2 seasons. Now he's the only one left

These same people promised heaven and earth for Blake Griffin during free agency. Man even thought his jersey would get retired up there in place of rings, leaving a no trade clause for 5th year contract. He got traded

These same people are now trying to offload all their good players years after they gathered a formidable one that couldn't reach a WCF.

You had a rhythm going, better chance of making the playoffs than Pistons but you've traded your best player to a team that won't still make the playoffs. I'm hangry....

I pray no team falls for another of their gullible offers. This franchise should be retired and one ring given to them as pension.


Tufia....

Same here. I'd exchange Drummond for Griffin tbh

Just look at the current starting 5 of Pistons without Bradley and Harris. It'll look a lot worse when Griffin goes for his annual hospital leave.

And they want to make playoffs. Lolll

KD hurt parity in the league.

Now see, Loyal Blake been sent all the way to Detroit.

Don't even start this nonsense. No one is criticizing KD for leaving. People are criticizing him for joining a 73 win team he blew a 3 - 1 lead against. Now shoo

There were 2 schools of thought to this. I understand your reasoning because Lebron will be hit by a stray bullet should you take the other road.

But the other path was: He should have stayed back and tried to deliver a ring to OKC like Jordan did they said.

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 7:42am On Jan 30, 2018
Jerry West already pulling legend moves.. It's clear the Clippers are tanking and while they're at it they trade Griffin's huge contract, Willie Reed and Bryce Johnson for Tobbias Harris, Bradley, a first and second round pick. My problem is why the f*ck is Austin Rivers still playing on the Clippers?? Anyways, the Clippers got the better deal. They got off that huge contract for an injury prone guy. hinting Lou and DJ are on the block means they would also love the Cavs first round pick. I think the Cavs would fall for it. Maybe trade IT for Lou in the process.

The Pistons look stupid right now. Trading for Griffin as if they're ready to chase the Cavs or Celtics for a shot at Championship.

It's just the fact man. Teams are not loyal to players so players don't have to be loyal to them. But there is such a thing as crossing the line, like what KD did. It's not about jumping the ship it's which shop you jump to, KD could have gone to the Wizards and no one would care but him joining the warriors is simply the weakest move any superstar has ever made.

KD doesn't owe OKC anything but he owes it to himself and his legacy to not be a soft as- b-tch.

LOL! Funny thing is I think the clippers roster is actually better now plus the picks they got from the trade. Lou Bradley Tobias and Deandre looks like a much better starting four IMO.

Except they're planning on trading Lou and deandre as well.

In which world will Doc Rivers keep Lou Williams as a starter? Lol

Besides, they're already shopping for Lou and Deandre. So rebuilding mode activated...

LeBron hasn't given up on winning yet na. Why would he go to the clippers? Clippers are dreaming.
He needs to either stay in Cleveland or Spurs, Houston, Minny.
Ain't winning in LA

I dont remember anyone reporting anyone other than Isaiah targeted him.

You can laugh now but mark me, before the trade deadline all you'll be doing is pooping your pants, even more than you do now.
