Are you assuming that Randle is part of the trade?

I don't assume anything.

You keep Randle for the big 3. Don't give up a dude who can light it up for 50 on any night.

But shipping out Thibs might be advisable.

Not saying they should, just skeptical that Dame would see a big jump in ppg on the Knicks unless some existing shot volume was traded away.

Thibs has grown on me. I say we keep him around.

Randle has 0 value to the blazers outside of shipping him off immediately for picks. I would rather Dame go to the Nets with Bridges, Claxton, Johnson, and maybe Cam.

Get rid of Dimwiddie as Dame is more of a true PG anyway (comparatively, but I prefer him off ball with a good distributer). And any of the other players they want plus a couple firsts. That would be a team to wreckon with moving forward and Dames presence might bring another formidable wing (Brown is almost up for FA). I'd like that team.

Edit: Not sure how many picks Nets have but if I recall it's a lot. Just seems like they could actually get it done. Can they cut the "my knee hurts" bitch loose?

Imagine Dame's #s playing 40 mpg

Nugs getting close to blowing am 18 point lead to Philly at home without harden and embiid. Got real sloppy

Lol Doc dude. You challenged the foul when I saw in real time green caught that ball out of bounds. Replay system is dumb if refs can see something crucial yet ignore it because that wasn't specifically challenged.

Doc had time to have it replayed during a TO and his guys still didn't catch it. Deserve to lose.

People from that part of the world do tend to be rather headstrong. I actually admire him for appearing to be one of the best players around whilst looking like he carries excess weight. Given how much energy a professional basketball player must burn every day it looks like quite a hard thing to do.

I haven’t seen the Kings yet. It always seems to be Dallas, Philadelphia or LA (it is quite hard not to like Reeves given his back story) whenever I have it on.

Brooklyn Nets shutting down Ben Simmons for rest of season.
Hopefully he'll be healthy for the start of next season.

Simmons is, without equal, the biggest pussy to ever play a basketball game. And I include all levels of basketball in this assessment

Good move. Nets can focus on the business of the playoffs now without this basket case around to bring down morale .

That's pretty crazy that a team that started the year with Durant and Irving and dealt them off, and is shutting down Simmons, is headed to the playoffs a solid 5 games above .500

Mikal Bridges is clearly that dude.

Cam Thomas basically riding the pine after that record-setting 3-game stretch seems dumb

do they also have access to a time machine?

anyway yeah please do all that, it'll be a hilarious failure

Addition by subtraction still very much a thing

Mavs cap sheet looks awful....Bertans, McGee, Kleber making a combined 33m per year for atleast the next 2 years, THJ at 17

Doesn't seem like they have many options other than to pay Irving and he's probably going to greatly decline during that time

Luka basically LeBron on the Cavs 1.0, just obviously not as good

Is that a consensus in his 5th season luka isn’t as good as LeBron at the same age ?
Numbers seem similar ?

Just gonna say it. Basketball is worse with kanye hoops in it

Lol look at the toss by the ref on the jumpball

He tosses it to dort lol

Not to mention getting rid of nash

So many net negatives they got rid of this year

Seems pretty clear. Big difference on defense and LeBron had better playoff resume at this point.
