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

As soon as he steals the ball the Bucks players just give up and don't chase him at all

wau @ gerald green

indy was maybe a lil too formal for green to do his thing

yeah you have to give him some slack and let him make some mistakes but its paying off for the suns. maybe like lance stepehenson huh? guess you can't have TWO projects like that.

man that last steal where he just runs right between the two guys. granted they weren't really trying but he looked very fast.

always nice to see gerald play well.

juice it up nate!

Nate the Great™ -- GOAT.

Now it all makes sense. His production is about to take a dip, sorry jordan.

man the pacers only played plumlee 55mins last year, they fucked that one up bad, traded a legit nba center for an aging back up pf and threw in a usefull super athletic wing for laffs

a 25 y/o legit nba center on a rookie contract

wow how is plumlee so old

what AND THEY GOT A DRAFT PICK FROM INDY

this is insane

The suns were secretly working over some fools, got the best of LAC too sending DUDley over for Bledsoe

AND THEY HAVE FOUR 1st ROUND PICKS

Dude is only one year older than me!

oh cool the suns gm is the same age as me o_O omg xp

you beat me to the weirdest thing by 30 seconds, that was a legit xp

the suns gm is younger than me

someone let me gm i will do better than the knicks promise

otm let ILH be the GM we can split the salary tbf

The Knicks acquisition strategy seems to be worse than random, so I definitely think ILH could do a better job

been saying, the sun are the BEST

remember when gerald green was in the d league 2 years ago, amazing

j0rdan and MA getting heated as the draft clock counts down would be worth the cost of relocation

haha

Hornacek really seems to be the right coach for him.

it was a weird situation because he was a really bold gamble as a first round pick and then they give up so soon. Gotta give a freak like that some time.

Scola might get them over the hump in a couple playoff games with some up and unders though, who knows.

apparently the suns are thinking about parting with one or more of their first rounders for thad young, which sounds like a terrible idea

ya wtf

yeah if indy wins it all with solid contributions from scola then i guess all is forgiven i guess idk

the more i think about the memphis deal the more i like it for the grizz though, lee is a very good three point shooter on a reasonable contract, bayless is not very good at basketball and also is weird looking

yeah hes been playing well this year if he fits w what they need it seems okay

the sixers playbyplay guy thinks Rubio is a terrible defender

"I think Carter-Williams needs to take Rubio more. Ricky Rubio never known as a defensive stopper."

what a cool job you dont even have to follow basketball at all

he just called shved "rubio" too

yeah he's on fire

Uh oh. RIP Jeremy Lin. He's gonna get Drosed

uh cavs traded for luol deng...

wut

was one of the more theoretically obvious deals out there but i'm surprised the cavs are still clinging to the notion of the playoffs

bynum?

bynum and a pick

gonna amnesty booz too internet is saying, blowing it up

wow booz could really help a contender

i know a team

wonder what the pick is, did the cavs give up a 1st rounder for half a season of deng lol

seems like a lot of teams would be interested in Taj too

In exchange for Deng, the Cavs send Chicago Bynum, Cleveland’s right to the Sacramento King’s first round draft pick conveyed in a June 30, 2011 deal, the right for Chicago to swap its own 2015 first round draft pick with the Cavs own 2015 first round draft pick (only in the case that the Cleveland 2015 first round draft pick is between 15 and 30) and the Portland Trail Blazer’s 2015 and 2016 second round draft picks acquired from the Trail Blazers via 2013 draft night trade.

ha wow holy shit they did get a 1st rounder, top 15 protected this year then top ten for eternity

poor d rose
