How would you feel if Durant went to the Clippers in a sign and trade for Blake Griffin.

 

Balmer is crazy enough to make it happen.

Better off staying in Okc. He should go to the Clippers only if Deandre Jordan is the guy getting moved out.

Casual NBA fan here...anybody know exactly what happened with O.J Mayo? I assume he has a prior history? And what kind of drugs did he test positive for, PEDs or something else? 

 

I remember when he was coming out of college, back when I was a much more devout basketball fan, he was a big deal.

Celtics and co take Brady with them for the Durant meeting.

 

Horford just signed with them. This enough to convince KD? Definitely will be interesting to see how things play out now.

 

 

..and kind of caught off guard on why KD hasn't decided to meet with the Raptors. If you're changing teams, come to the east since you'll be guaranteed a trip the conference finals each year. No real point in staying in the west while changing teams since making it out of that conference come playoff time is a finals itself. East it's the Cavs and Raptors...come to the Raps, give the a premier superstar and you're set. Raps have created the best team you possibly can in the NBA without having a superstar but it just goes to show you need one to win. Superstars run the league and win championships. Yes they have stars in Lowry and Demar but they aren't superstar status...would make a lot of sense for KD to come over east and especially the Raps. Would push them over the top and give him the best chance at reaching the finals.

For $18 million a year over 4. I wouldn't touch that contract, no way. All these figures in the NBA are just spiraling out of control.

The cap went up an insane amount. Will go higher next year again. Biyombo is getting less than 20% of the cap.

Biyombo to Orlando

Outside of the fact that he is getting that much for being great for 3 games why does Orlando make sense? They have Vucevic and Ibaka at the 5 and 4. All that to come off the bench and possibly stunt his growth.

Lot's of reports have Jamaal Crawford going to the Warriors. KD to Boston is being reported as highly likey. 

 

Personally hoping Raps sign Pau Gasol or David West if the first fails.

Holy crap best news I've heard in a long time.  First real post presence we've had since KG left town, and in reality he wasn't doing much the last year or 2 he was here anyways.  While Horford may not be a great player in any one area, he is very good in all, making him a great signing.  Add on to this that Durant reportedly wanted him in OKC, us still having room for a max level player (please Durant :wub:) and I am over the moon today.  Almost forgetting about draft day

Where does that leave Harrison Barnes and Ezeli? Can they afford to keep them still. Do they even want to with Barnes' terrible performance in the finals?

Barnes is a rfa and will be offer sheeted for the max by the Mavericks. Dunno about Ezeli.

 

Sacramento with the offer sheet for Barnes

I really doubt the Warriors will match. After next season, Curry is gonna be wanting a raise. Not sure about Thompson but he'll be wanting an extension as well

This dude technically just got traded for an eighth grader....

That is a weird trade. What makes it worse is it's a 2nd round pick xD

 

Though it isn't the first time teams gutted picks way in the future. The 76ers literally own the Knicks 2nd round pick in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

This makes a mockery of the draft. Picks are not even valuable teams throw them around like candy.

 

Even first rounders have a high bust rate.

3 high volume shooters on the floor?  Not sure if that would work.
