  Thought Chicago could do better with the 7th pick

  Lakers get Josh Hart. Not upset at all.
• wildcats20

  

  Warriors pay $3.5M for Jordan Bell. Such a good fit.

  Ditto. De'Aaron Fox will be a stud IMO. Plus his rivalry with Lonzo Ball can continue on for several games of the season.

  Isaiah Thomas Received All-Defensive Team Vote Despite Being One Of The NBA's Worst Defensive Players. Infuriating.

  What the hell was it based on?

  Mike D'Antoni wins coach of the year over Popovich and Spoelstra. Um, why was Spoelstra a possibility? Nothing says COY like a .500 record and not making the playoffs.

  Westbrook wins MVP.

  Probably because they started out 11-30, finishing 30-11 after that point and almost getting in. He probably got consideration for their turnaround. I'd also ask why Pop was considered? They should just hand that guy the award pretty much ever year.

  Phil Jackson canned.

  Timing is a little strange, but definitely deserved.

  Will Krystaps come to his exit interview?
• BR1986FB

  Jackson getting fired likely means there will be no buyout on Carmelo.
• SportsAndLady

  

  That should be like the third headline down. Instead it's all the media is talking about.
  
  Who cares about the Knicks, Phil Jackson, James Dolan, etc.

  This is a sad day for people who like to laugh at ineptitude...

  Chris Paul traded to Houston
• friendfromlowry

  Wonder what Blake Griffin will do now.
• Laley23

  

  Man, I was convinced he didn't care about the Max and would leave...but I was confident it would be Spurs. This is crazy.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Can CP3 and Harden coexist? Weird combination.
• Laley23

  

  Sounds like PG to Houston now is in the works. That will be tough to get done. But I've seen a decent haul to Pacers for it, including Gordon, another player and 3 picks (but Houston will be good...so picks might suck).
• friendfromlowry

  Cleveland, meanwhile.........?

  CP3 still has to stay healthy which he has proven incapable of doing. They're giving up a lot for a 32 yr old guy that is hurt a lot and needs the ball in his hands. I dont think they even get a game against GSW.

  Was that meant for me?
  
  As currently structured I'd agree. They add PG, different story, which is what my post was about.
