    If we have to hear " We've always like Furkan..." from Joe tomorrow.

    I'm going to be seriously disappointed.

    Two teams involved in today's big trade played each other without the traded players. Minnesota clobbered Utah. Looks like Conley was missed. Russel not so much. Again, MN did quite well without Towns or Gobert.

    luka garza skill set is beautiful to watch (there are no more than five centers in the entire nba with better skill set), good thing trail blazers got rid of him cause he sucked in the (wait for it)... summer league

    he will always be negative defender, but man, he can score in multiple ways

    I actually like the Nets roster, they got some good players in those trades and got rid of some headaches in the process.

    Before the Nets got greedy with the Durant / Irving / Harden shiny bling - they built a really nice team. Given what they have now and all the picks coming their way - this could be a cool team in 2 - 3 years.

    I wonder if Suns will make the playoffs. Their roster is completely depleted from the trade and Durant doesn’t have a return date. They’re going to struggle to win without him. Plus, when he does come back, they’ll need time to gel. Next year, they should be the favorite but I’m not so sure about this year. What do you guys think?

    He's going to be back soon. They have a small cushion.

    They have a roster of

    Paul / Payne/ S Lee
    Booker /Okogie /Shamet
    Craig / Warren /D Lee
    Durant/Bazley/Wainwright
    Ayton/Biyombo/Landale

    They could still make it and probably will.

    If healthy, sure, but do you think they’ll make the playoffs? Johnson and Bridges are gone. Booker still taking games off. Durant out with no return date. That’s not a good team. Can’t believe they gave up their starting forwards and 4 unprotected FRPs for a 34 year old with no return date from injury. And CP3 may not have another season in him.

    Does Durant have a return date? If healthy, they should be ok but without him, they suck.

    He got a good prognosis on his knee and will likely be back by March. I wouldn't count them down or out. That's a dangerous team right there if healthy. They have a lot of role players who need to step up.

    They'll probably add a few vets who are about to be bought out.
