NBA 2020-2021 Season

Embiid just went down in agony and grabbed his knee. Did not look good.

[Pooker]

Him getting up and limping off is a good sign. Hopefully he won't miss too much time and can continue this great season he's having.

Yeah it's sounding like it may just be a hyperextension. You don't want to mess around with those and with the playoffs all but assured I doubt they'll rush him back. Shame as it costs him MVP.

MRI just showed a bone bruise, he's expected to miss 2-3 weeks.

Former NBA player Shawn Bradley has been paralyzed after getting his by a car when Bradley was out riding his bike, less then a mile from his house.

Love it!

[gunnar hendershow]

Oh yeah I meant to mention, that's a fantastic trade.

[LL!]

Heat traded Meyers Leonard and a 2nd round pick for Trevor Ariza and honestly also a great trade. Heat lost nothing of value. 

[Pooker]

Hopefully the next we hear of Leonard, he's being released and we never see him again.

[gunnar hendershow]

I don't think OKC will be picking up his option for next year. Just gotta pay him for a month or so and then you can just be done with him.

[livid]

Yeah they already said he's not going to be involved with the team at all.

That said I wouldn't be surprised if he signs somewhere next year after the public forgets he said anything. 

[Pooker]

That injury to Lebron did not look good.

[gunnar hendershow]

X-rays on LeBron came back negative. Still an MRI to come.

[Pooker]

High ankle sprain. No Davis and no Lebron well not be good for the Lakers. Guess they could always drop down to 8th and take out my Jazz in the first round. Would just be my luck. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Basically no timetable on either of their returns. Which means they'll both be back just in time for a tough playoff matchup.

[Pooker]

Elgin Baylor has passed away at the age of 86.

[Malenko]

Magic have traded Vucevic, Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier. Still time to trade Terrence Ross I guess?

[LL!]

The Heat are aquiring Nemanja Bjelica from the Kings for Moe Harkless and Chris Silva. And also will be aquiring Victor Oladipo from the Rockets, though not sure what we're giving up there. 

 

Edit: Looks like we are giving up Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, and a 2022 pick swap for Oladipo.

None of the trades today mean crap after the Jazz traded for Matt Thomas. Championship guaranteed now.
