Nets got Okafor, so that ends that.

Honestly surprised the Nets are even 9-14 before this trade, turns out Russell is working out well for them. Okafor is a bit like Al Jefferson, but he can be a serious post threat offensively, which the Nets could use. Plus adding shooting from Stauskas. Look like the Nets aren't exactly going to be tanking.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be serving 25 days in jail with work release for probation violation.

So basically he'll be coming out of jail to suit up for games :lol: First time this happened in any sport?

I wonder if he's going to have one of those house-arrest ankle bracelets.


*edit* Yes he does. LOL!

Waiting on MRI, but doctors saying Cousins likely tore his achilles.

He's done for the season. Damn shame, he was playing some really good ball. And the Davis-Cousins frontcourt is a load to handle for any team, and massively discourages small ball.

Too bad on Cousins. He was having a really amazing year. Kills my fantasy team too.

In similar injury news, Mike Conley out for the rest of the year after opting to go for heel surgery and Andre Roberson suffered a ruptured patella tendon (same injury as Jeremy Lin earlier this year I believe) and is also out for the year. Rough patch of injuries this past week.

That patella is such a hit or miss recovery.

Roberson's career might've just ended if he can't recover. Unless he magically learns to shoot during rehab or something

Daaaaaamn. And Blake re-signed a 5-year 171 million dollar deal with them this past off season.

Which is actually a huge reason why they're trading him haha

DeAndre Ayton is hands down the 1st pick and we aren't good but not bad enough to have a shot at Ayton. He looks like a young Hakeem out there. Just love him.

Porzingis just went down about 15 minutes ago. Saw the replay....it does not look good. Looks like he may have torn his ACL. I wish he didn't have bad injury luck, he's an awesome young player.

Poor-Zingis :rimshot:

Seriously whats up with all the ACL injuries these days? Is it the training? Style of play?
