Dolfan in NYC Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 In fun Knicks news, Julius Randle had a little incident on the sidelines And this comes on the heels of reports that he's about to be traded. (Which was instantly countered by multiple people saying, lol no one wants him.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The Dame/CJ backcourt was one of the most entertaining duos of its era. I will really miss that pairing a lot. They entertained me quite a bit over the past few years with my addiction to West Coast basketball. Awesome that two mid-major dudes were a consistent playoff team and even made it to the WCF. Dame and CJ also by all accounts are IRL really good friends, and he absolutely loves Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 As awful as Russ has been this season — once he got healthy last year, he was pretty incredible. And he was also awesome on the Rockets once he stopped shooting. He is such a crazy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 22 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: Does James Harden actually make Philly more likely to win a title? He looks like he's slowing down, and he has a long history of struggling to co-exist with fellow superstars (though he's working better with Durant) and he's owed a lot of money deep into his thirties. In almost any other situation I would say trading for Harden is a bad idea for all the reasons you listed. But the Sixers have a legitimate shot at the title this year, are getting a career year from Embiid, and would be trading basically dead money for him. Lord only knows how long Embiid's knees and feet will hold up so who knows how many more shots they're realistically going to get? Until an hour ago I would have said they should be harassing the Wiz non-stop until they trade Beal, but clearly that's off the table. So I say, yeah, fuck it, trade for Harden and make your run and deal with the consequences later. It gives them more offense and hopefully Thybulle and Embiid can mitigate his defensive liabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 All I know is that it looks like the Rockets traded Harden at the right time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Looking like tomorrow is going to be fucking lit. Apparently Harden to Philly talk is very much back on as Harden desperately wants out of Brooklyn. The current talk is a 4 team deal with Philly, OKC, New Orleans, and Brooklyn with Harden ending up a Sixer and Simmons a Net. (EDIT --> Note, Woj says this is BS. So.... ymmv.)

Brian Fowler Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Miami might be trying to make a move. They did a very minor deal with OKC, sending KZ Okpala for a second round pick, but they also as part of the deal modified protections on a pick they owe OKC later down the road, possibly to free up the ability to move a first rounder in a potential bigger move before the deadline.

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Before this becomes all trades all the time this afternoon: As to the Heat, the rumor is they covet PJ Washington but probably don't have enough to get Charlotte to move him. This year's 1 however. . . Also, TO may trade Goran Dragic to someone for pennies on the dollar, who'd buy him out and allow him to come back to the Heat because, well, Eastern Europeans love south Florida.

RIPPA Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 25 minutes ago, Infinit said: Raptors get Thaddeus Young from the Spurs for Goran Dragic. Here is the full trade Quote The Raptors and Spurs have agreed to a trade that will send forward Thaddeus Young to Toronto in exchange for point guard Goran Dragic, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link). According to Charania (via Twitter), big man Drew Eubanks and the Pistons’ 2022 second-round pick are also headed to Toronto in the deal, with the Raptors sending San Antonio their 2022 first-round pick (top-14 protected). That pick would be top-13 protected in 2023 if it doesn’t change hands this season, and would turn into two future second-rounders if it doesn’t convey in ’23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Quote The Kings are trading former No. 2 overall pick Marvin Bagley III to the Pistons, sources tell Shams Charania and Sam Amick of The Athletic (Twitter link). According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter link), that move will be part of a four-team trade that sends Bucks wing Donte DiVincenzo to Sacramento.
