man i was expecting kg to either retire or be traded, but paul going is legitimately heartbreaking (nh). so bummed out.

[jsn]

been looking at draft boards that have len going 1, noel dropped to 5, zeller outside of the top 10, sergey karasev at 7, and shabazz nearly hitting the second round.  damn

 

Terrible day for Noel.  Went from no. 1 to out of the top 3, then going from a semi-ok situation in NO to Philly with Bynum there. 

[Jokez]

Don't think Bynum is coming back lol. It'll suck even more if Philly doesn't get Wiggins, but they still got two picks next season. Noel, who could've gone first if it wasn't for his knee, and MCW, and then possibly Wiggins and another top 10 pick (depending on how NO does) next year, Philly could be the next OKC in the way they're stocking up on high draft picks.

 

I still can't see Pierce in a non-Celtics jersey.

 

The Wizards do look like a nice team. Beal was ballin when Wall came back and before he got injured.

 

The Jazz look like they're gonna be a good team in the future. Probably the youngest starting lineup with Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors and Kanter all being born in 1990 or above.

 

and lol @ this

bynum not coming back hinkie building for 2014, both draft and free agency

[Paladizzo]

To think, if Cody Zeller came out last year those Charlotte Bobcats fans would be completely fine taking him. But a decent amount of moves today. Dunleavy to the Bulls, Blatche resigns with the Nets, Maynor to the Wizards, and CJ Watson to Indy...waiting for some of the bigger fish to sign soon, should be an eventful couple days.

[Jokez]

Washington's roster is pretty good as long as Wall and Nene stay healthy

 

PG - Wall/Maynor

SG - Beal/Webster

SF - Porter/Ariza

PF - Nene/Singleton/Booker

C - Okafor/Seraphin

[denimu-akuma]

Where do you guys think Dwight ends up?

[Aeroplane]

^ i'm guessin LA

[anklspr]

^^ Sounds like it'll be Texas... either Houston or Dallas, but who knows with him. 

[Jokez]

It's rumored that Houston will try and get Dwight and Josh Smith and form their own big 3 with Harden. Lin and Asik are on the trading block.

 

Also, with Kevin Martin going to the Wolves, Houston definitely won that James Harden trade. Daryl Morey is on that Masai Ujiri executive of the year level.

with martin's exit, where do the thunder stand now out west? gotta think they are behind SA, Clips, team Howard, GS, Memphis...

 

the feels hurt durantula the feels hurt.

[abracadabra]

Depends what team Howard goes to.  They'd probably be behind the Rockets but ahead of the Lakers.  Mavs are too up in the air to really know.  And honestly other than the Spurs and Grizzlies, the Thunder have the most clear identity of any contender in the West.  Clips have a new coach and players, Golden State has to prove that the playoffs weren't a fluke, who knows what's up with Lakers, Houston, Dallas, etc. The Thunder still have two of the 12 or so best players in the league.

 

 

The contract the Wolves gave Martin is terrible though.

I've been hoping for some miraculous trade to keep the East interesting, but the Heat look like they'll be in the Finals again if nothing changes. It's like nothing that stalled the Heat's contenders have been improved...

[Flipflop214]

dubs are getting stronger!

Bogut, Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Iggy, Lee, Green, Bazemore, Speights, The Russian (whatever his name is), and Festus.

Excited for the season to start.

*update - Jermaine O'Neal just signed with the dubs for a one year deal. Oh boy. We deep

The Nets have a starting lineup of Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez, with Jason Terry and Andrei Kirilenko coming off the bench.

 

what the fuck man x_x

i feel like if that cp3 to la trade happened that one year things woulda been totally different.

and the warriors are moving towards another good year by the looks of it.

cp3's a better fit with the clips anyways. with most of the main cast of the clips coming back, a defensive minded coach, and shooters to surround cp3, chris paul may actually get out of the first round for once in his life.

^ with wiggins' game being compared to t-mac's, you may see something like that again

 

sixers don't know how to tank, 3-0 with wins against miami and chicago. mcw is killing it.
