    Pretty sure the Knicks would take Houstons 1st and 2nd for Vonleh without involving Courtney Lee in the deal

    At this rate, we will end up starting Harden and 4 guys from the Y. And my money is still on Harden dragging us into the playoffs. (Ok. Truthfully, this stinks. But we might be on the cusp of witnessing further greatness.)

    We will have the pathetic first month of the season to blame if we miss the playoffs

    i really like the posters who demand pinpoint medical diagnoses before medical testing has even been concluded.

    Did Nene retire? I know this is a hot take, but we're not missing as much as you think we are with Clint. He's so inconsistent (for example, significantly outplayed yesterday against Vucevic).

    Capela only has a net rating of 1.2. Nene and Hartenstein actually lead the Rockets in net rating with 12.4 and 11.9 respectively. Now we get to see how much of that is just small sample size.

    I expect MDA will go super small and play Tucker and Clark at C, that is until Morey acquires another big.

    It’s time to move on Dedmon and Bazemore for Knight and a 1st or EG and a 2nd.

    I don't know how much more Harden can carry. Honestly, it's superhuman effort what he is doing.

    I'm sick to my stomach right now! After a horrendous start, we finally right our ship and this **** happens. Why must you curse us, NBA gods?!?!

    No competitive playoff team would give up a good player to help us for picks, so have to look to bad teams.

    Lopez, Vonleh, Tristan Thompson, Faried.

    These guys are not good. They are not players that we would be looking at if it wasn't for a Capela injury.

    Richaun Holmes is the guy we should be after. He is a per minute and advanced stat beast. And small ball center that would have been able to take minutes away from Capela even if he was healthy.

    Why would Phoenix trade him? They are all in on Ayton, and with Holmes on the team Ayton is actually losing minutes to him. They want to tank. And also because Holmes is an unrestricted fa after this year and they will likely lose him for nothing.

    Trade for Holmes. Save the season.

    Kent Bazemore (ankle) still has not been cleared for contact work and he remains without an official timetable to return. Bazemore has been out for two weeks now, but with him still not taking contact, we can assume he's still not close. The 13-30 Hawks will take their time in bringing back the 29-year-old swingman.

    Dear @BimaThug ,

    I have left a space between your name and the comma in hopes that you'll see this. I hope the poor punctuation does not skew my question in your mind and though it might, I shall proceed to ask it forthwith. But not before I.. jk bt.. bad timing.

    For real is there any such thing as a medical provision teams can use to sign someone? I feel like we've got to be approaching some medical alleviation or something with all these injuries lately. Am I off here or does the NBA understand that something should be done when 4/5ths of your starting lineup is out?

    Sincerely,

    Don Grahamleone

    They want assets back. They won’t buy him out and if they do he is going to the warriors
