Ridiculous. Horrible performance by everyone not named Harden & Mook. Our bigs have butterfingers. This is probably the worst game I've seen Parsons play all year.
This is quite interesting and totally plausible... it has plenty of factors to be considerred for both teams but if okc wants to make a big 3 and minny is ready to move love this is likely what they will recieve and possibly more... if okc was serious they could even add the dallas pick... if i was okc i would call minny and offer this as i think minny would have to think long and hard about it... but an okc trio of wb/durant/love... wow!!!
i dont think cleveland wants pau... theyd rather stick with varejao if they were in a win now mode... i think they will trade sideshow for picks/prospects or both...
But Varejao is another player who has been the subject of trade talks as well! Basically Andy has been having a dream season, the Cavs know they can't possibly capitalize on it with a playoff run--healthy Kyrie or not--and so they're looking to sell high on Varejao. If I'm Cleveland, I'm flipping Varejao for picks and prospects while continuing to build around that Irving / Waiters backcourt.
Exactly what i was conveying... they would love to trade him to a contender like say okc... something like varejao for perks crap contract and tor 1st... that would likely be ideal for them but i think okc would rather do pj3+dal1st which is also something cleveland would like...
clippers should go after varejao clips out: deandre, bledsoe and or 1st pick clips in: andy and dion if only bledsoe is involved and expiring cavs out: andy, dion if only bledsoe included cavs in: deandre and bledsoe i think bledsoe will be getting a pay day that the clips wont be willing to offer and they have a lot of salary tied up so its best to go for andy who expires earlier and be ready to reload in a few years.
Why would cavs want a promising pg in bledsoe when they have a better and more promising pg in kyrie?
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=bqf4uwd Knicks also get the right to swap with Miami in 2013 (Lebron S&T) and second round picks from Cavs and Suns.
The Knicks are in win-now mode. Amar'e is still a very good player. Frye is out, the other two can't play. I don't think the Knicks would do it. If they want to keep using Melo at 4, they can still work around it and find good minutes for Amar'e. I also don't see why the Cavs would do this. This kills their cap space, they should rather just sign Millsap or someone like that, if they get tired of building slowly.
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=co3m5v2 Lakers get salary relief, a backup pg, and a younger, solid defensive player. Plus, Dunleavy could space the floor as a smaller PF when needed. Bucks clear up some clutter, and will have a solid frontcourt (they also still have pieces such as Gooden that they can use to make a move). Cavs get a Lakers 1st round pick, a solid player in Harris, and two big guys to take fliers on.
LOL, I kept making changes to the draft that I did the last one real quick. That should be Gasol instead of Howard.
