    The Cavaliers keep trading away top 5 picks and yet are still nowhere near contention. I wonder how this will end?

    Good move by the Thunder. Lopez is never healthy.

    I think Morey made already several moves with trading for Brewer and picking up Smith ... this isn't NBA 2K15. :rolleyes:

    But I guess DM will trade one more time before the trade deadline.

    P.Jones is enough. Still will develop into a contributor.

    Also, Perkins is useless mostly this is true. But he absolutely ruins Dwight. For that reason they will keep him. This is why we have so much trouble with them, Perkins has a long and storied history of bringing Dwight down to his useless level.

    No idea if this was posted, but I think JR tweeted this before the trade. He must've known.

    So, does this mean that the Thunder won't extend Reggie Jackson this summer due to cap implications? (...or maybe give him up for cheap at the deadline?)

    ...Reggie's 3P% is pretty damn horrible though: 26.6% this season, 33.9% last season. Thought he would be better. I always thought he shot the ball pretty well against us.

    Since we are on a roll assembling players with horrible 3P% he should be next in line! :p

    Okc wins easily but they are kidding themselves if they are trying to replace 6moy harden with waiters.

    That chemistry was beautiful and Dion is a cancer

    They have 3 1 round picks + 4.9 million DPE and $5.3M TPE + over 16m in expiring contracts next year.

    trades involving the cavs are not over.

    they can give some of their assets, to go after mozgov or koufos.

    + sign Dalembert as a backup center.

    I wonder if there is any chance we can get Dalembert. We desperately need a legit backup center. Dorsey is t-r-a-s-h.
