Grizzlies gonna waive him in March after the playoff eligibility deadline just to fuck him over too smh.a couple of weeks ago I would've said iguodala gets dealt to the clippers but now I'm pretty sure memphis winds up eating his contract just to fuck over everyone who thought they could buy him out, we all know he's taking a veteran minimum with gsw next season anyways.
atlanta won, denver put themselves slightly ahead, minnesota technically lost considering that they could've gotten a better deal for roco and houston...avoided losing outright from a position that they couldn't win on. agree that their window is closed though barring multiple acts of god, and considering this team's record they'll probably just choke their good luck down the drain anyways lmao.Atlanta won this trade. It allows John Collins to be a natural PF and gives them a legit future. I think they could be a sleeper team to make the bottom half of the East playoffs next year. Imagine that Trae and Capela PNR. My goodness. Plus, Capela is a pretty good rim protector and lob target so I think it's a good move on their part.
What the fuck is Minnesota doing? lololol How much longer are they gonna be a rebuilding team with KAT? Giving up Robert Covington for Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez? Massive L.
Houston gets RoCo who is a good fit for their system and gets Capela off their books...but where's the defense? If Morey is gonna go all in on PJ Tucker being a center then good luck against the Lakers. The Rockets' window is already closed imo and they threw their future into a tornado in Oklahoma. Just trade Harden now at this point.
Denver gets off pretty good here too because they're trading away players they weren't gonna resign this summer and it opens the floor for more playing time for Michael Porter Jr.
Andre Iguodala is being super petty for sure. He's a vet and he wants to win, I get that but he was just on the Warriors. He even won 2015 NBA Finals MVP. Now the Grizzlies are in the hunt for the 8th seed in the West, and with Iggy they'd probably be even better. Vince Carter could be ring chasing at this point but rn he's in Atlanta lolatlanta won, denver put themselves slightly ahead, minnesota technically lost considering that they could've gotten a better deal for roco and houston...avoided losing outright from a position that they couldn't win on. agree that their window is closed though barring multiple acts of god, and considering this team's record they'll probably just choke their good luck down the drain anyways lmao.
also just wanna say that I have zero sympathy for iguodala and I view the grizzlies potentially fucking him over as completely morally justifiable. while certainly iggy didn't ask to be dealt to a rebuilding team he's been remarkably petty about the whole thing and apparently has no problems with contenders dealing in bad faith with the grizzlies (because they assume that they'll be forced to buy him out anyways). I don't fault the grizzlies' young core for being willing to stand up for themselves and what they're building but I do fault iggy for the extremes he's taking ring chasing to.
lmao I was wrong when I predicted that memphis would waive iggy. guess the heat provided a good offer (although the fact that the lakers will be the grizzlies' likely first round opponent and the heat aren't even in the same conference probably factored into it). iguodala crowder and hill for james johnson waiters and winslow seems like a sensible deal on both ends (winslow probably fits better on a rebuilding team, johnson's alright, and the heat are eating solomon hill's contract in exchange for memphis eating waiters').
goddamn, Riley gave him a 2-year extension worth... ALL THAT MONEY
EDIT: that second year is a team option
the only way this deal makes sense if you consider that;wtf is Bob Myers doing? Do they think Wiggins is suddenly going to turn into an all-star because "culture"?
IT got waived, feelsbadman.
- Marcus Morris and IT make the Clips a wagon but also compounds their issues going forward. Gotta pay Harrell, and Harkless is likely easier to keep than Morris in terms of price (and Bird Rights I think?).
- DLo for Wiggins swap is a win-win imo. GS likely gets a talented player who can fill the Barnes role and more, while Minny gets its prize. GSW also get a pick.
Did you see the crowd going nuts when they showed him on the big screen? I think the fact that the Lakers did nothing at the deadline is a huge tipoff they expect Collison to sign on soon. Besides the notion that the clippers have rotation minutes for him with Lou and Beverly in the mix is stupid.Lmao I totally jinxed that game.
or we were letting Darren Collison know how many minutes he’d get if he signed with us
Clippers just want to grab him so we can't tbh. Elsewhere, Marvin Williams is securing a buyout and aims to sign with the Bucks. I'm definitely not comfortable going into the playoffs with our current roster. Hopefully we get Collison and maybe Harkless if he gets bought out.Did you see the crowd going nuts when they showed him on the big screen?

Also that 4th quarter was embarrassing
Refs the only ones with a big enough firehose to cool of Dame's scorching hot run. Lillard > HardenThat missed goaltend at the end of POR vs UTA was horrendous
