KD + Curry + Klay + Draymond vs. Westbrook + Oladipo + Sabonis + Roberson lol

Can't hate on Westbrook for being competitive though, he had the home crowd and always gets into it

What I don't understand is OKC trading Ilyasova and a pick for friggin Jerami Grant. That was awful

@Jiwi @Hahanerd @Wonderland @kmjt

So the Magic trade Oladipo, Sabonis, and Ilyasova for Serge Ibaka. Which already was a pretty one sided deal. But wait..there's more! Today they trade Serge Ibaka for Terrence Ross and a late first round draft pick.

So basically, you give Sabonis, Oladipo, Ilyasova, and Serge Ibaka for the mighty Terrence Ross and a late first round pick.

 

Wizards gonna win it all.. just wait.

Doubt they beat a Kevin Love-less cavs in the playoffs, let alone golden state.

The way John Wall is playing right now you never know. We took em to OT a couple nights back.

In the last 4 years, a Lebron led team has always underachieved in the regular season and performs much better in the postseason. I can see the wizards stealing a game or two, but that's being generous.

Yeah nobody beating the Cavs, maybe not even GS. Celtics sit 2 games behind them and Ik that's a farce. Celtics would maybe win 1 game vs Cavs. Maybe 2 if lucky.

And I consider Boston better than Washington.

Damn thats so disrespectful

Lol, I think they're pretty close, as in a series would go 6-7, but I think Boston would beat them. Regardless, I don't think they have enough pieces to beat the Cavs.

Cousins to Pelicans for:

• 1st round pick
• 2nd round pick (from 76ers)
• Tyreke Evans
• Buddy Hield

@Ultra Boost
Pretty crazy

Omri Casspi to NO
Langston Hughes to Kings
as well

Insane trade, I'm sure the kings wish they could've somehow dealt Rudy in the trade as well. Contract is massive. Safe to say the Pelicans have the best front court in the league

 

Being a kings fan this can be good or bad, good if our GM wants to learn to draft, bad if he picks another suck ass loser again

For what, 6 months until he signs with someone else?

He aint resigning there

Edit: Yeah I think you're right, 2018

 

[Yeti]

For what, 15 (??) months until he signs with someone else?

He aint resigning there

Edit: I'm not sure if his contract is up this summer or next, but it's soon

Are you talking Gay or Cousins?

Cousins. I like the trade if he re-signs but I don't think he will with New Orleans

I think if they win, he stays. That's what he's wanted all along, and Anthony has been the most dominate PF in the league, he's just needed help. Cousins gives him that, and on the inside. Also, it goes up in 2018.

Are you sure? The ESPN article I read seems to say he's a free agent this year.

Which would give a really small window of time to win. Don't get me wrong, Anthony Davis is a monster. No two ways about it. It's a good risk, if he re-signs. If not, pretty much a waste.

Nevermind @Yeti you're right, 2018. Just said he probably won't sign an extension this summer. But you never know, offer enough $$
