jaedmc Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 That's bananas. Also Bulls finally one and Zach Lavine is dropping 30+ point games like his fucking life was on the line. Still no Markannen or Valentine. Now Kris Dunn has a sprained MCL. Seems like we never have all our players to start a season any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hopefully a statement game as Lakers end Denver's perfect start with a LeBron triple-double and the rest of the team stepping up with Ingram and Rondo still out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as soon as injuries set in, they'll probably end up picking between 12-16 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Why would Minnesota want 4 picks in the late 20's over 7 years? Okay the last one or two might be better but the first two would be relatively worthless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harden is 29. Those last two could easily be top five, and even the third one could come after a season where the Rockets fell apart. It would be 2019, 21, 23 and 25. It's an all in move, but it could easily turn into a Nets/Celtics type deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Celts struggled at OKC but managed to pull out the win. 3-2 and the offense is not clicking at all so I'll take the 3-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with this line of thought, and where the Nets' comparison ends, is that Houston also has one of the best GMs in the league and an organization willing to pay the tax to win. They've had a grand total of 1 losing season since YAO was drafted... Id says it's much more likely that those picks are in the 20s than top 5. And that's before even considering the protections Morey is surely asking for on those later picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Got to see Kawhi and the Raptors live for the first time last night. No OG and Van Vleet hurt the bench and kept the Mavs close....but DAMN we are gonna have a great season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Cavs reportedly fired Ty Lue this morning. Is this a record for quickest coach firing after the season starts? Also, while I don't think Lue was an especially good coach I also don't think this solves any of the Cavs' problems or leads to them winning more games.

RIPPA Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 In the things that will get you fired when Lebron is no longer around category Quote Sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that Lue recently had a disagreement with general manager Koby Altman over playing veterans. Altman preferred that Kyle Korver and JR Smith be taken out of the rotation to give time to younger players. After one game in which they didn't play, Lue put both back in the rotation without consulting Altman. Owner Dan Gilbert has also encouraged more playing time for rookie Collin Sexton, sources said.
