Official Around the NBA October/November 2016

If I'm Sac., I want Aminu. A good player on an insanely good deal.

 

Who are you going to pay that million dollars to? Not that anyone believes someone would pay up who throws out a idiotic number like that.

 

Aminu in addition to those three players, or Aminu in place of.... who?

 

I'd want Aminu, not Crabbe. If I'm rebuilding, I'd want salary flexibility and good contracts.

 

I guarantee there's no scenario for the Blazers to land Cousins without CJ being involved. There's too many other teams with much better trade pieces. The Celtics are clearly the team looking to swing a deal since they think their time is now and they have a ton of excellent players and picks.

Aminu and Crabbe are liabilities (for play and salary respectively), not assets right now.

 

So, is anyone actually going to tackle the task of showing what these "much better" trade packages are? I keep hearing it said, but have seen very little in the way of detailing what these amazing trade offers would look like.

 

Aminu has had back to back great performances in the playoffs the last two years. Crabbe is a great shooter that would fit on every team in the NBA.

 

Channing Frye playing great for Cleveland.

 

Is CLE the new SAS, where guys like Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye go to revitalize their careers and win rings?

BNM

 

No, it's literally just because of LeBron, he can turn any player who can shoot decently into a very dangerous player.

 

Yes. Because of this:

 

Seriously, I like to hear some, too.

 

yup
and the second he retires the cavs will once again be irrelevant for decades

 

LeBron didn't play and the Cavs lost. Matthews made 6 3-pointers but the Mavs lost.

 

Rockets played 9 players tonight and they all scored between 9 and 14 points. I've never seen a box score like that.

 

Memphis had a 16 point lead on the clippers, supposedly the "best team in basketball".
Clippers come all the way back starting late in the 3rd, taking a 105-107 lead with like 26s to go.
Clippers then choke the rest of the way with a turnover, a chuck by Griffin.
Conley/Gasol/Z-Bo out played CP3/Griffin/DJ again.
I give Griffin credit though, he still manages to get punked by Z-Bo.

 

Jonas Valanciunas was 6-6 from the field, 8 rebounds in 18 minutes last night.
He didn't play in the second half.
Retarded af.
Maybe the Geko's will trade him to Portland.

 

What a lovely player he is, one of my favourite centers in the league. Raptors don't need anything we have though, I think.

I like Raptors BTW. Really cool team with great fans. I've been looking at their board online for a while too and they seem to respect Portland a lot. Loved my time in Toronto a few years ago too.

 

They did not score a point for the last 6 minutes, aside from the final shot of the game 3 seconds from time. Quite remarkable.
