NBA 2018-2019 Season

John Wall is untradeable with that contract. Beal can be moved (and should be moved) but the Wizards will probably be asking a price that is too high.

[Pooker]

If the rumors are true about the Wizards wanting to make a run at Durant during the off season, I dont think the asking price would be too high for Beal. Jazz deal would be perfect for them. A first round pick, an expiring contract, and a center that could dominate that position in the East.

The Buls just fired Fred Hoiberg, after the team started 5-19

Hope this is the year that Denver finally makes the playoffs

So Markelle officially doesn't have the yips

He'll need extensive physical therapy and if that doesn't help he'll need surgery to relieve pressure on his nerves. So well, that isn't particularly good for his career outlook for someone this early in their pro career.

1st overall pick, only got 33 games in two seasons.

Notable cases for TOS are mostly reserved to MLB Pitchers (Matt Harvey, Chris Young, Matt Harrison)

I maintain the Celtics found something suspect when they first looked at him and tried to trade the pick, and for some reason the Sixers doctors never picked up on it.

It's a real shame if he can't get right, it's definitely affected him mentally too.

[Meacon Keaton]

He apparently went to eight or ten different specialists. The belief around here is he went to so many because he and his agent were looking for one to actually diagnose him with something.

The Suns are godawful.

They're nothing without Booker. But, they're on a good track with him, Ayton, a top pick this year, and having Igor as their coach.

Two games after being fined $15,000 for criticizing the referees for not respecting small market teams, Rudy Gobert is ejected three minutes into tonight's game after arguing some very questionable calls against him

So, Lowry's plan is to get Kawhi out of Toronto in the summer, right? He's playing this badly purposefully?

Oh, Kyle What a great win!

[gunnar hendershow]

I'd be all "Wow the Warriors are in trouble this year" but they're 100% coasting until March or April. Don't want anyone to get hurt before then.

[Maxx]

Yeah, lets not forget they still have DeMarcus Cousins prepping for a return.

[gunnar hendershow]

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if Cousins uses the last 10 games of the regular season as a preseason. Warriors finish with 55 wins or so, and don't have the top seed.

I'm gonna laugh so hard if this happens and the Lakers are the 1 seed.

And now the trade has gone through without the Grizzlies so it's Ariza to the Wizards for Rivers and Oubre. 

[Pooker]

Probably one of the greatest things that has ever happened in the NBA. A team not knowing what player it was trading for? Brilliant. 

[DMN in the House]

A Double Triple Double, we are all Big Ballers on the Witnessed night!

[gunnar hendershow]

Apparently Ernie Grunfeld told both teams the other Brooks was involved in the trade. Just pure stupidity from one of the worst GMs in sports. So dumb him trading a very good young player for cap relief and a little over half a season of Trevor Ariza looks like the least stupid thing he did that day.
