NBA Thread

I'm just stealing them from ESPN/NBC/Rotowire. Have some free time before my next meeting. Figured I'd help the crew out.

Maxey, Harden, Korkmaz (or Thyb?), T. Harris, J. Embiid
Irving, S. Curry, B. Simmons, K. Durant, A. Drummond
Smart, White, Brown, Tatum, Williams

Off the top of my head... new pieces look like good lineup fits across the board.

[ReignOnU]

Deadline is passed, I think that's it. Now to see what happens with the buyout market... but there doesn't seem to be anything like last year floating around.

[ReignOnU]

Enes Freedom (Kanter) was traded and waived... I wonder if the Lakers will sign him.

Lakers were in pure panic/desperation mode for this deadline and still couldn't make a deal.

You hate to see it.

No we don't

Luka with 28 tonight….in the 1st quarter!

[GeorgesGoons]

Durant said he was happy to have guys to be apart of this.

Didn't know there was a falling out of sorts with harden.

Where does Simmons play? Shooting Guard? He's such an awkward guy to pencil in a lineup

Ben Simmons is like 7 foot tall no? He can play anywhere.

Not when you can only dunk the ball.

There is no such thing as a shooting guard anymore. He’s just a lead guard/play maker on offense and a lockdown perimeter defender.

Not NBA but Grayson like, right Billy??

That was worse than Grayson but Grayson can still go straight to hell

[GeorgesGoons]

There wasn't even an attempt to go for the ball, he looked more like Ronnie Lott breaking up a pass

2-Way Facilitating Finisher... if you know, you know.

And now the fighting in house and finger pointing begins...you really, really hate to see it:

Rob Pelinka claimed he consulted with LeBron James and Anthony Davis on potential moves on Thursday as the Los Angeles Lakers approached the deadline and decided they were unable to make a deal.

"Totally false," a source close to James told ESPN's Dave McMenamin about Pelinka's statement.

McMenamin contends that James and Davis were not consulted at all.

[nick]

why would you wanna consult lebron? every decision he's made so far has been horrendous.

[wdoupis]

Jordan GOAT

Klay is baaaaack!!!!

On December 17th, the Nets were 21-8 and in 1st place. That same day they announced Kyrie would be coming back as a part time player. Since then they are 8-19 and are now battling to stay out of the play in. Their win% since they announced that decision is lower than the Thunder.

How have they played on the road with Kyrie playing?

Does Simmons start playing immediately or do you think he sits out still?
