the assumed pronoun was "they" not "you". i was not trying to accuse you of okc fandom so don't worry

Makes you wonder why?
Hmm, this is surprising, to say the least. I guess they think their rookie can handle mins off the bench and/or they plan on going small a bit more. Ian Mahinmi can't play w/ Hibbs.

Doesn't change much. Thabo still starts. RWB-Thabo-Durant-Ibaka-Perk.

Reggie Jackson probably plays more, maybe Lamb will get some mins. Who knows.

So I'm hoping the clips get either DeMarre Carrol or bring back Matt Barnes, Craw can handle the backup pg minutes because he's such a ball dominator in that second unit they really don't need a traditional backup pg.

That mle should go towards the best big they can get obviously.

I really like that they're concentrating their roster on the half court offense, I'm gonna miss Bled, and westhoff, you're going to love watching him play, Him and cp3 were insanely effective in what little minutes they got on the court last year so I expect him to be really good with Goran.

I still have the Clippers behind OKC abd SAS but I think this trade gives then equity that expands beyond "they have Chris Paul on their team" which is awesome abd currently has be very excited for this upcoming nba season.

The NBA is the GOAT, even their off-season are very entertaining.

It makes sense if Pistons ship Drummond and Stuckey's expiring for Rondo in conjunction with a Smoove signing. It leaves room to amnesty Charlie V and then throw another ****pile of cash at Iggy and roll with Rondo/KCP/Iggy/Smoove/Monroe and Knight/Singler/Jerebko/mini-MLE off bench

This could get interesting
Brandon Knight is worthless, dude. 22 already, and nearly 4.5k mins for a replacement level PER w/ below average defense/inability to play the point. 2.4 career winshares.

I can't IMAGINE they'd be stupid enough to trade Drummond.

Honestly at this point with those shooters, I wouldn't be really against DRE on that team.

One constructive critique for Asani tho. The audience is full of listeners, not viewers. Said that a couple of times.
I listen to the PPP podcast with my ears but view it, with my heart.

Kangz withdraw 4/56 Iggy offer

As USA Today reported, source tells Y! that Sacramento has withdrawn its four-year, $56 million offer from Denver free agent Andre Iguodala.

He ended up shooting 44.4% from 3 on 3 shats a game. 18.4 PER down a bit from year before, but that was primarily because his OREB% dropped--which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering he should never be near the basket with that kind of shot.
Yeah Ily had a nice bounce-back year. He's hardly great value on his contract but obv he's a fine block.

fwiw that deal is less bad when you consider that it's FA season and Rondo has star power. people want to play with him. it's obviously a slam dunk for the celtics regardless though.
this just in: people are morons.

I'd give Rondo up for KCP alone. Drummond is like whoaaaa pot of gold.

Do not want Brandon Knight tho, terrible player. Rondo >>> Knight.

unfortunately not. iggy wasn't prepared to tell them "what they wanted to hear" at the time, so they pulled it.

this could end up saving nawlins from paying reke 4/44

Probably withdrew it so they can max Jimmer

Kings wanted answer that Iguodala wasn't ready to give, so they pulled out and moved on. They'll regroup & decide on Tyreke Evans etc.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
Denver's shown no inclination to match $14M per offer, and Iguodala wasn't ready to tell the Kings 'Yes," sources tell Y! So, Kings bailed.

lolokc
You sure they'll lose both AK and Pek? If so, lol KMart. I thought they had cap room to just add him to their core. They needed a SG real badly: Luke Ridnour and Barea got way too many SG mins.

Tony Allen gonna be a stopper still when he's 36?

Another 35 win year for these clowns. Then love will do a lot of yapping about he wants to play for a winner. He'll get traded to a team and that team will suck.

Pek is their only legit asset and he might leave.
you are so mistaken

3/16 for Bud back to Minny is too much IMO.

Who was lining up to pay him? He played 23 games last year FFS

He seems comparable to Martell but w/ Martell you're buying high and w/ Bud you're buying low ... at basically the same price

I think Thabo continues to start, but Jackson finishes games. Either with Thabo dropping down to the 3, Durant 4 and Ibaka at 5 or Jackson being the closer and Thabo on the bench. I see Jackson getting full time starter minutes this year. Westbrook will be able to rest a little guarding garbage 2's off the ball.

Yeah, comparable. But Chase is younger and Martell has a chronically injured back. No way I'd give him 4 years.
