NBA Trade Deadline has passed. Whew, I need a cigarette!

Did any trade today change any teams plan of competing? Still feel like it’s Brooklyn’s title to lose.

Plans for competing? Yes, definitely

Any trades change any actual teams who may win the title? Probably not


The Nuggets got a solid addition in Aaron Gordon. If the Lakers can be taken out, I do think they helped their chances to come out of the West.

I thought Portland did great getting Powell. The Bulls had an awesome deadline. Nuggets did great with Gordon. Lakers and Nets still the faves but Denver and Portland are still contenders who got better.

And Denver got JaVale McGhee for some added rim protection. Gordon and McGhee give Denver a lot of what they really need.
Finally, the Nuggets made a deal. RJ hampton is gonna be good for the Magic.

Powell got the Raps Gary Trent Jr ... dunno how but thank you for your services Norm

[Cnasty]

Diiiiiiiiipoooooooooooo

Aldridge next.

[nick]

In summary…

Rockets trade:
- James Harden

Rockets get:
- Avery Bradley
- Kelly Olynk
- Dante Exum
- Rodions Kurucs
- Late 1st round picks + swaps


Hilarious.

Here's the situation: Pels have a sloppy possession, shot clock winding down, lose the ball near half court, 2 dudes dive on in and jump ball is called with 0.3 left on the shot clock for the Pels. Brandon Ingram doesn't even bother to jump for the jump ball at half court because there's no point, a shot clock violation would ensue if the Pels won the tip any way.

So the Celtics win the jump ball, and Marcus Smart gives us this play of the year candidate:

What about youtube? I'm not even sure what to search

[GeorgesGoons]

This one?

[shel311]

Yes

[GeorgesGoons]

Yes

When you said play of the year candidate, I was not expecting something like this happening. Bonehead play of the year candidate. Pretty funny though
