    I also hope he slips leaving his house one day and falls on a cactus.

    And Magic gets right to work.

    Sending Lou Williams to Houston for Corey Brewer and a first round pick.

    Interesting, and a smart move. Crazy to me that Lou every signed in LA to begin with (did he have a soft market?), and now they get a 1st. Don't follow Houston much, but I suppose this is for when Harden goes to the bench?

    Such a shit trade for the 6ers. They trade NN to Mavs for Grant (G) Bogut (Buyout) and potential 1st round pick. I want to see protections on the pick, but that's a shitty trade.

    Top 18. Mavs can make the playoffs and still keep the pick.

    Probably know my stance, but I don't care about Bogut. Doubt he even plays in the playoffs for the Cavs (IF healthy).

    So if the mavs do keep it this year, do they owe it to philly next year? And the year after until they finish outside of the top18? I never understood how the "protected" draft picks work.

    It changes to 2 2nd Rounders next season. This trade is a fireable offense.

    Ah, so despite dumping Hinkie, "THE PROCESS" must still be alive, with their love of hoarding near-worthless second-round picks.

    And of course the rumors are flying that Paul George is and I quote, "hell bent" on being in LA with the Lakers.

    I would love that addition. But no way do you trade for him now if you're LA. He's a free agent next year.

    Interesting. Be hard to turn down that $$$ from the pacers though.

    Agree. Also, if he makes All NBA this year or next, the Pacers can offer the designated player option to him. Which is an extra year and more money. So we'll see.

    lol bulls

    Anytime you can trade your only 3 point shooting threat and a well respected veteran for an underachieving point guard who can't shoot and two expiring contracts you've got to do it right?

    Right?

    Its LA or Indy. Only 2 places he will sign an extension.

    Celtics are retarded though. How do you not give up the Nets pick for 2 playoff runs with George (and 1.5 yrs to try and change his kind on FA choice)?? Who do they plan on drafting who is going to be better during their current window?

    The only thing I can think of is the celtics believe they won't beat the cavs with George and are building for 3-4 years from now when lebron is declining.

    LBJ does own PG.

    That's what I thought when thinking about Laley's question.

    Might as well build for 2020, no one but Cleveland is winning the East until then.

    Absolutely agree. What a trash trade.

    This is the correct answer. GMs in the East are preparing for LeDecline rather than trying to build a team NOW that can beat him.

    Frankly, I don't blame the GMs. You aren't winning the East as long as Lebron James is playing in it.

    I agree but it's absolutely crazy to think that one player cloud go to 10 straight finals.
