  What the hell are the lakers doing?
  
  Traded dangelo Russell and mozgov to Brooklyn for brooks Lopez and the 27th pick.
• wildcats20

  

  Ugh. Why the fuck is Magic giving up on Russell so soon. Dude is too good. They're gonna draft Lonzo, which is the right pick at 2. But come on. This is clearly a move to clear space for next summer. But God damnit.
• friendfromlowry

  Lol poor Russell. Goes from shitty team but at least in LA to a worst team in fucking Brooklyn.
• friendfromlowry

  Dwight Howard on a new team is just becoming an annual thing now.

  Strong disagree.

  The Atlanta Hawks turned Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, Al Horford, and Dwight Howard into Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams, a 1st-rounder, Marco Belinelli, Miles Plumlee, and a 2nd rounder

  That makes my heard hurt

  Phil trying to get a top 4 pick and an established starter in exchange for Porzingis.
  
  I would give up the 2nd and Clarkson for KP, had they not just traded away Russell.

  I guess it might take Randle over Clarkson. I'd probably still do it even after the other trade.
• friendfromlowry

  I don't understand why he wants to trade Porzingis for?

  "We love him, but we have to do what's best for the club." Or something along those lines lol
• wildcats20

  

  It sounds like Phil is super pissed that KP didn't attend his exit interview at the end of the season.
• Laley23

  

  Phils gone off the deep end the last few yrs.

  It's part of his "How Full Retard Can I Go Before I Get Simultaneously Fired And Condemned To A Nursing Home?" plan. It's going really well.

  This is why I told BR the Cavs aren't even close to being on the same level of dysfunction as other franchises. There are so many FO's in the NBA that try to top each other for the dumbest shit I have seen. It's remarkable. I think between all major sports, the NBA has the lowest median IQ between all GMs.

  Joel Embiid is a good follow on Twitter these days.

  Marc Stein says Jimmy Butler to Minnesota is a "done deal".
• slingshot4ever

  Crappy pick for Boston...and they would have taken him at 1 per Ainge
• wildcats20

  

  Bulls send Butler and 16th pick to Minny in return for LeVine and Dunn and the 7th pick.
  
  Sounds like PG could be going to Boston.
• friendfromlowry

  Butler, KAT, and Wiggins is a pretty good combo. They should definitely be in the playoffs.
• wildcats20

  

  I'd say that Wade is probably regretting picking up his option, but he's gonna make $24M.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Pretty good trade for both teams imo.
• Laley23

  

  Bulls got raped. Great trade for Minny. Bulls might win 20 games next year.
