The Paul to Rockets trade is interesting. I don't know how great of a fit it is or how they will mesh in that system. Paul obviously has to have the ball in his hands to maximize his effectiveness, as does Harden. Obviously the talent in general being added is great but how does it come together?

We could probably trade Wade to somewhere like LA for Deng+Pick.

Dolan is such a sucker for starpower, I can see the Knicks giving up something if he fires Phil and takes over in the interim.

Now the Rockets are trying to land Paul George. If he didn't act like a bitch and would actually play the 4, he'd be a pretty good fit.

I don't know what they could possibly trade to Indiana to get George.

Iguadolo potential to join Minny. I don't think him and Jimmy would get along.

Jimmy giving out his phone number, and in interviews after seemingly having no concept of why the sheer volume of people and a single phone line doesn't make any sense...solidified for me that he must be about 2 tics on the e-meter smarter than Rose. I wonder how long it takes him to figure out he needs a new number.

Daaaaaamnnnnn!!!! That is one helluva dangerous move for the Thunder, but perhaps the all-in for one season move that was necessary.

If Westbrook and George hit it off, they could both go to Lakers TOGETHER. I suspect Westbrook will eat for free in Oklahoma City for the rest of his life and be one of the leagues highest paid supermax players. The Lakers won big with that trade because its likely George will hate playing with crazy ball hog spaz guy and run to them, not walk.

Reddick to Sixers sets up a scary dynamic.

Fultz-Reddick-Simmons-Okafor-Embid



I believe the Warriors are better without overpaying Iguadala, and simply driving up the Houston price a bit. Houston can offer a bigger role, tax reduction, and bigger salary. Andre isn't stupid, he will take the extra 20-30 million over 3 years.

They got Livingston though for what we got fucking Felicio. Without Iguadala they can fairly pay Durant and then start slotting in quality championship chasing veterans. Gay is considering playing at 5 just to raise his value for a year, then get paid again.

Gay is finally available and I am surprised the Bulls aren't pursuing, lol.

If Warriors get Gay then 2017 comes down to their health again. The new death star will be even worse than before, and year two of chemistry for one of the best offenses in league history.

You're forgetting about Dario Saric, who's probably already better than Okafor

Looks like Rudy Gay might be headed to OKC. Nothing announced, but he already has a locker with his name on a name plate.
