Damn Isahai Thomas to Sixers as part of that trade. Talk about a crazy 10 min..

[burlingtonbandit]

Apparnetly Thomas is going to the Celtics instead. Marc Stein f***ed up.

[SpeedyGose]

Denver would clear the space, not the Sixers. But it shows you how valuable late 1st round picks are

 

edit:nvm, i misunderstood

[SpeedyGose]

holy s***, i need a spreadsheet to figure out who went where

[dineke]

Wait... Thad Young only fetched KG? The f***...

[burlingtonbandit]

just wojbomb after wojbomb

[jays_fever]

Minnesota is still a terribly run organization. Gives up a first for Thad Young and then gives him away for KG just because

[SpeedyGose]

Lol Philly has so many picks now, my god

[SpeedyGose]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 3m3 minutes ago

Suns recently offered Dragic for Brandon Knight. Bucks said no. Now Bucks get the guys they wanted all along -- MCW and Ennis -- for Knight

 

What??? Why would they MCW and Ennis over Knight lol

 

 

edit: Knight is RFA, makes more sense now

[jays_fever]

The Bucks in the playoffs would be a cakewalk now. I wouldnt be surprised if the Heat pass them for the 6th seed

Heat lost a lot of depth but if their starting lineup can stay healthy, they look pretty good right about now

If the Lakers pick falls outside the top 5 and the Thunder pick falls outside the top 18, 76ers could have 4 first-round picks in 2015.

 

That would be pretty crazy

s*** draft though

[immature]

Kanter to OKC. At least they get rid of Perkins which might be the best news in the trade.

 

Why would Utah trade Kanter and a bunch of nothings for Perkins? Kanter also has a reasonable salary at 5.5 and 6.5 for the next two years respectively.

Well Dragic is probably on the same level as Lowry when used correctly and Whiteside looks like a Beast, pretty scary team. Either way we would have to play them in the first or second round regardless so I`m not really worried about them.

 

God help us though if one of our bigs go down.

Just cutting their loses with Kanter I suppose. Gobert and Favors is a really good front court duo going forward

[immature]

Now its being reported that Utah will receive a future 1st & 2nd rd pick and some German center. This makes more sense.

Damn I really love what the sixers are doing bringing tanking to a whole new level. Brings a tear to my eye.

Kanter sucks and Gobert is awesome

[GD]

Kanter also fetched a 1st and a second I believe, and Perk got bought out. Very solid trade for Utah.

[Angrioter]

Rudy Gobert is f***ing awesome. I love the France kid

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I just don't understand what Phoenix is doing.

 

Acquire four point guards. Sell three for 50 cents on the dollar.

 

In:

 

Knight

Granger

Thornton

A bunch of garbage protected picks

 

Out:

 

Dragic(s)

Thomas

Ennis

Plumlee

Several vastly more valuable draft picks

 

That's a horrible day. They dumped some guaranteed contracts but surely they could've did better than this. Dragic is a borderline star. Knight is a solid player but are you going to pay him next year?

 

So disorganized.

Fantastic article written by our very own Patrick Patterson!:

Chris Bosh also has some serious health concerns. Possible lung issues/blot clot concerns.

They have to trade some of those picks. Their current core is good but do they have any superstars to really build around? Say if Sacramento decides to rebuild Not enough elite talent on that team.

 

They'll probably be ~30M under the cap going into this offseason. Sign someone like Jimmy Butler to build around and make a deal for someone like Cousins with all of those assets.

I think that is the point, collect enough assets so you have an opportunity to build how you like. They are literally stripped down to Covington, Noel and Embiid as keeper players. It will be interesting to follow

[dineke]

Pretty awesome what the sixers are doing, most teams just tank halfway and end up right back on the treadmill. Good for them that they're willing to sacrifice so much in the short term to try to build a powerhouse.

Confirmed Bosh has blod clots in both lungs. Not good...

Jesus...the worst place possible. Not good at all.
