    Well that was probably the quietest trade deadline league wide that i can remember? It seems like the top 10 teams in the league are happy where they are. The Middle 10 are hamstrung by cap issues. The bottom 10 just didn't have anything anybody else really wanted?
    Blazers kind of made a middle of the road Trade that helped them quite a bit.

    Rockets slaughtered by Suns; outrebounded by 22. Maybe that small ball ain't so great?

    Time to move on as we had no way of retaining him so it's a moot point.

    What you mean? Seth Curry is not only a dead eye shooter his defense is really underrated.

    Seth Curry was perfect for us. Pisses me off watching Simons play and we had the better version of him last year

    I wish we had a suitable back up besides Simons, but Simons has at timed flashed potential and overall long term, if he’s anything close talent wise to the hype, its probably good to let him take his lumps. Experience is often times the best teacher.

    Answer me one simple question:

    How do we keep him?

    Since the answer is we couldn't:

    Whats there to complain about? Its out of everyones control.

    by CBA rule, Portland could only pay him 3.6M unless they offered him the tax-MLE instead of Hood. Curry is making more than twice what Portland could pay at over 7.4M. More than that is Dallas gave Curry a 4-year contract at 8M/year. Blazers would not have done that

    Refs for this Celtics game must be the same from the Utah game. Boston getting some questionable calls against them.

    Yo these refs reffing the Jazz game actually must be the same ones because they just let the game play with the shot clock frozen for a good 30 seconds of play.
