Excellent trade for Raps.
They are in win-now mode, a Clippers 1st isn't gonna move the needle within the next 2-3 years at least, if at all. It made sense in a lot of ways. Powell is developing nicely and minutes behind Derozan without Ross should help get him more in the groove.
Ross IMO was never anything special and easily replaceable, yes he exploded for 50 once but he is very inconsistent.
Ibaka finally gives them a versatile and solid starting PF playing beside JV. Patterson will very much improve the bench, he is solid but not good enough to compete with the other 4s in the league.
Only issue now is come Summer, both Lowry and Ibaka will be looking for huge contracts, will Toronto go deep into luxury tax to keep them or let 1 walk? If Ibaka turns out to be a half year rental it would really suck lol.
I'm excited to see them battle it out with Washington and Celtics now. They are that much closer to the Cavs.
Slam dunk contest was so boring, I nearly fell asleep watching it part way. Actually stopped watching it before the end, never seen such boring dunks. No creativity and power.

The Kings trade of Cousins to New Orleans is mainly about removing a dark cloud over this franchise that DeMarcus symbolized with his terrible attitude and temper.
Is he talented? No doubt. Shaq also called this guy out for being a hothead, for not being a leader. You hear from some coaches around the league that Cousins is "uncoachable", that he's a player who does whatever he wants on offense. Post up to score down low, or shoot 3 pointers.
A coach killer. A F-bomb throwing player who would swear at fans and yell at teammates. He leads the league in technical fouls too with sixteen.
This trade was Sacramento management's way of telling DeMarcus that enough was enough.
If things work out well with Cousins and Anthony Davis, they're a force to be reckoned with in the front court for the Pelicans. If not, Cousins could just walk away from New Orleans by not signing a contract extension.
It will be interesting to see how or if DeMarcus can incorporate his playing style with coach Gentry's fast paced system of play on offence.
Deadline is tomorrow at noon.
Lots of speculation this year with PG13, Butler, Drummond and many others in the rumour mill. I hope it's not all talk, let's see the fireworks after the bomb that was Cousins lol!
Cousin is cancer imo, so not that great of a trade but I could be wrong.
Risk is pretty low for the Pelicans. They didn't give up too much for him, and even if things don't pan out, he's still got value in this market. Heck the Lakers/Knicks are in desperation mode and will probably dish out a king's ransom for him just to put fans in the seats.
I was thinking that the Celtics were gonna make a move to try to acquire big name player given that they have attractive assets in their draft picks to give away.
Paul George, Jimmy Butler were the subject of trade rumours.
WTF are the Sixers doing lol, they already have a logjam at the 4 and 5 position. Then they trade for Tiago Splitter and Bogut
Would be hilarious to see them roll out a team of 4 bigs clogging the paint for rebounds and 1 pg chucking 3's haha
Dallas got Noel for even peanuts, he could turn out to be a stud. He's only 22 and has good defensive instincts. Bogut is a salary dump that's gonna bought out, I don't know who Justin Anderson is but scouts call him a shooting guard that can't shoot, he's probably like the 10th man off the bench depth chart and the 1st rounder is heavily protected top 18, Dallas is near the bottom of the rankings so it will turn into a 2nd round pick.
Draymond got a technical after giving this trash talk to Paul Pierce. At least Green did not kick the Truth in the nuts. GSW won the game thanks largely in part to 50 points in the third quarter of the game against LAC.
