Yeah a bizarre move. Are they just gonna run without a point guard or??

I know the Suns needed more scoring but the quality of players you can now put around Beal, KD and Book is gonna be shite, so you're gonna need all three to average like 30ppg. Surely this doesnt work.

Well here comes another big trade, Washington ain't messing around.

Kuz became a free agent as well IIRC.

Blow that s**t up.

You haven't caught up on the latest news..

Deal has fallen through for now (Clips apparently were worried about the condition about Brogdon's back)

Yeah instead you have traded Marcus Smart.

Nice move IMO.

Well there goes Jordan Poole's career for the time being...

What? What is Chris Paul gonna do on the Warriors? They already have GOAT PG. That's such a weird trade.

They are trading for cap space, not cp3.

No I get that, they are trying to get rid of Poole's contract and open up cap space but they also are trying to win right now. Moving Poole I would have thought could have gotten better offers than CP3 to help them compete next season.

Why do they want Scoot when they already have LeMelo?

Pretty sure they have said for a while that they are trying to position themselves in a way that they are always at the top rather than being there in cycles.

Excited to see how Wemby goes for us under Pop, it's exciting that's for sure, kid has immense potential.

 

[DBAH0]

Why do they want Scoot when they already have LeMelo?

I'd say because Scoot has star potential, Miller borderline All-Star at best.

Depends if you think Ball and Scoot could have played together or not really.

I dont think Scoot is gonna be as great as some people think. He's too small and when you're that small you gotta be exceptional and nothing I've seen of him has made me think he will be great.

LA Angels outscored Colarado Rockies 32-12 in a 3 game series. Colarado won the series 2-1.

The amount of money being thrown around in NBA free agency is appalling.

Case in point, Houston giving Fred Van Vleet the max 3 year 130 million dollar deal.

One of the worst contracts ever.

I really don't get what they are doing at the Rockets...

 

[DBAH0]

Lilliard has finally requested a trade.

Going to be interesting with Harden also on the market, think the majority will want Lilliard out of those 2.

Not sure how say Miami has enough assets, Herro + Robinson + future firsts isn't really enough as I see it.

 

[Jatz]

The Rockets are insane. Brooks and Van Vleet take them nowhere.
