in these, the waning days of stern: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 1)

Can somebody make a case for Masai

What's he doing

in Toronto? What is he supposed to do, really? They have to take their lumps while he clears cap.

Yeah I understand but the trade didn't seem like it cleared that much cap, unless he knew for sure that Rudy was gonna take the option?

remember last year when no one thought igoudala was gonna opt out?

rudy will opt out and get 4/48 or something. it's a no brainer. and there's no way he wants to spend a season and a half in sacramento.

Iguodala is good tho

monta ellis is also a player who had a huge option that most everyone thought he was gonna opt into but who left a shitty situation for more overall money and a better team

the kings have been the most depressing franchise in the nba for the last 10 years. rudy has made, what, $90 million or something in his career?

he's opting out of that deal

he would've stayed in toronto tho imo he was clearly invested in that situation

Anyway let's not forget that #mambaback tonight

finally, indiana v. miami.

will the pacers win by 30 or 50?

man, paul george does some crazy shit on offense now

YES! Dominate the boot. Dominate tendons. Dominate the cast. Dominate rehab. Dominate dominating demure dominants domination. Wtf u ask?!? "Your Welcome" #dominatehashtags

crazy the pacers have lost three games and in two of them they got housed

Does it still count as a subtweet if the guy you're subtweeting is mentioned in the tweet by name

One explanation is that both were against great teams at tail ends of road back-to-backs. Either way rough watching Indy throwing the ball at the basket tonight.

Masterful tweet btw

i wonder if w all the new nerd gms there will be more trades as they more accurately evaluate their own players instead of sentimentally hold onto them, i hope so trades are tite

I've had that same thought and as a fan of nba chaos I'm hoping that is the case

the delivery of kobe's name by the lakers' announcer was . . . somewhat anti-climatic?

Raptors look like their team just traded an asshole they all hate

theyre just psyched to get their stat sheets back

AH IM SO SCARED

what sort of evil animal

Andre Drummond is 19th in offensive ppp, and 24th in defensive ppp. Leads the NBA in TRB%.

def would still take thomas robinson ahead of him tho 100%

tons of upside love it

theyre just psyched to get their stat sheets back

god I miss J Rich

lol lukes was like a 190

rip stoudemire hangtime

the stoudemire one is the most impressive imo

yeah vince had some nice ones tho

Gay to Sacramento is so perfect

I am content to see rudy a king. Adds piquancy.

yeah i am pretty psyched to forget rudy gay exists as he wastes away in sacto. free boogie.

is sacramento a bad city or something? never been to cali idk

i love cali basically from diego to tha bay but sacramento sucks

rudy stuck on that terrible team is incredible

i think masai's next move is to swap kyle lowry to a mid-tier contender- 6m expiring, nobody really likes him but he's pretty good, and he can hand the keys to vasquez, see what he can do, and has a year-plus to see if he is good long-term or if they need to draft a different pg

Cleveland fans reminding you of your crazy ex

Also assuming that the 'Greek Freak' is Simmons' nickname for Giannis, disapprove

greek freak is pretty good! what's your beef

Rudy Gay should ban all forms of writing and symbols from the locker room.

lowe on the gay trade

lol ok i actually clicked on lagoon's link, read it, then forgot i got it from this thread

haha meta

lol

why's he gotta hate on Landry Fields lol

I kind of hope that Rudy ends up the first significant player traded every year just for comedy value
