NBA 2016/17 - Still waiting on Ben Simmons

[Vandrs]

He was never going to stay at the kings, so makes sense they got something for him. Not sure he'll sign an extension at the pelicans though. That front court is hella scary though with AD and boogie though.

I'm sure Tyreke is happy about going back to Sac though lol

[Rocky_IV]

Is that the worst trade in history

[SillyBilly]

boogie to the pelicans. They got him for a bargain.

The Sacramento Kings have agreed to trade DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Buddy Hield, ‎Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and a future first- and second-round pick, sources told ESPN.

Could that be the worst trade of the season. Lol Kings

They could have got better off Boston but we werent prepared to sell the farm for him.

It's bad, but not as bad as it looks on paper, trading him now saved the kings 38 million in cap space. They will rebuild now, they were never going to contend with 5 more years of boogie.

Suns have that with the IT, Knight trades last year!

Boogie and AD are good friends though

You took Thornton who was a list clogger with a high contract.

We gave Philly Lakers first Rd pick this year, only top 3 protected!

76ers trade Noel to the Mavs for Bogut and Anderson + protected 1st round pick. Bogut will be either on traded or bought out, won't play in Phily.
Bulls send Gibson to OKC
Toronto is sending Jared Sullinger and two future second-round picks to Phoenix for PJ Tucker.

[wezza]

Apparently Houston or spurs are buy out locations for Bogues

[SillyBilly]

Boston fans are vicious. Peeved that we made no trades for George or Butler. I honestly am a little disappointed, but can see why Ainge didnt achieve any trades. To be fair we weren't in the box seat as they were contracted. PG is out of contract next year which is a risk. Bulls would have wanted a fair chunk of our youth (Crowder, Smart, Bradley + '17 Nets pick).

Lets just hope one AS sees how well we are doing and wants to join in the offseason

[Rocky_IV]

Clippers are experts at doing this to the Warriors. Get a comfortable lead in first half, roll over in the second.

[barry_day]

Ben Simmons ruled out for the rest of the season. Foot hasn't healed.

[Vandrs]

Smart move. Get him 100% and right for next year. The sixers don't wont to win games anyway.

Then Bogut as well? The Cavs and Warriors have turned this league into a bore fest, I'll just continue to watch more college ball.

[wezza]

Never thought bogut would be a Bron rider.

[wezza]

hand the Cavs the rings now

KD knee injury. Gulp.

Hyperextension of the left knee. Won't be back in tonights game.

Uh oh. We were going to sign Calderon, but apparently signing Matt Barnes now because of the injury.

TBH, I'm not sure what they saw in Calderon.
