    Define sellers.

    They are not going to give players away, but they will make moves that will help them in the future.

    For example they have been very close to trading Gallinari the last couple of days.

    This. If they get legit offers for either Adams, Roberson, or Paul (like a couple of 1sts and expirings) and they either finished 8th or barely miss the playoffs it'll be a huge win for Presti. 1. They kept their fanbase interested for pretty much the entire year and 2. They acquire more assets to rebuild the team.

    This.

    He was wrong about Capela. He said he would be trash, and he isn't trash. Was Capela perfect? No, we always wanted someone that could hit 3's, but Capela was pretty good for the Rockets.

    The Rockets are not dealing Capela because they just want him gone. Capela was the means by which they could make moves after ownership cut off other avenues to add salary.

    woj was saying something about a 1st round pick restriction needing to be lifted was pretty much the hold up in the deal.

    You just know Morey is jealous as hell....... he always wanted to be able to bottom out, collect assets and then make major moves.

    I will be curious to see what the Heat gave up to get Waiters moved.

    Riley will make a run at Giannis next summer now. Bank on it.

    No, they wouid have to get an asset back for Noel...... either a player they like better on a small contract or draft picks.

    I suspect Gallo's trade has fallen apart with Waiters now going to Memphis.

    Holic wanted to take the ball out of Harden's hands and give it too Ricky freaking Rubio.

    Let us never speak of him again.

    This is shaping up to be yet another disappointing deadline. Thankyou Tilman.

    I know, right? The guy obviously knows quite a bit about basketball, but he'd always throw in things that would either piss you off or make you question the rest of his knowledge.

    Anyway, if we land Nerlins, he'll be sitting in a puddle of his own spooge.

    No question the Heat are going to be a VERY COMPELLING team for Giannis in FA.

    So Miami adds Jae Crowder, Solomon Hill and an extended Iguodala

    They lose Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters.... lets see if any draft picks are included.

    Also the Celtics are trying to get Wood from the Pistons.
