that Portland trade is something for sure. Curious to see Dame's reaction, if any. giving Morey leverage too, maybe he did play this right.

meh defense is nice but they had 2 defensive player of the year candidates last year plus a top 10 defender in Thybulle and still bowed out in the second round. sometimes all three on the court

Morey's obviously hellbent on getting Harden so if thats the target and it costs you Simmons plus Curry, the deal probably gets done. Losing Curry would sting, he was probably their second best player in the playoffs last year, but better than losing Maxey.

also the Nets have a PG. Presumably by getting rid of ballhog Harden, they make Irving the primary ballhandler. what would they do with Maxey. He's not a 2.

all of the Simmons plus Maxey rumours are baloney.

not sure if this has any impact on a Simmons trade but certainly should perk Lillard's ears

The Clippers are trading Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson and future second-round pick to the Trail Blazers for Norman Powell and Robert Covington, sources tell ESPN.

hes played in 20 straight games. this is as good a game as any to give him a rest imo.

Kings lost by 50 plus to the Celtics last game. Give Embiid a rest.

His situation is not lost on anyone. he's gone, may as well talk about getting value in return. Heck Shaq tonight called him a 'crybaby."' this a commentator talking about a current player.

Brandon Brooks retiring. give howie credit for getting Dickerson. some, including me, blasted that pick due to need, Dickerson's injury, etc.

Morey failed once trying to do a Simmons Harden deal. I guess things could be different from Harden and Nets point of view this summer but that is the bet I suppose. We also have to consider a lot of this is subterfuge and use of media by the players/owners/ agents, etc.
