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

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

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

Hornacek really seems to be the right coach for him.

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

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

2014 first round draft pick to Cleveland
Sacramento's 1st round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 1-12 in 2014, 1-10 in 2015, 1-10 in 2016 or 1-10 in 2017; if Sacramento has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Cleveland by 2017, then Sacramento will instead convey its 2017 2nd round pick to Cleveland protected for selections 56-60 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Sacramento's obligation to Cleveland will be extinguished) [Cleveland-Sacramento, 6/30/2011]

trade rose

welcome to tankapalooza chicago

THE CAVS ARE INSANE

what a shit organization

the bulls also have that bobcats pick first from the tyrus thomas deal they're about to be loaded

are they gonna have cap space now too

so the bulls are getting a first, a swap AND two seconds? plus bynum who at worst has value as an expiring

the cavs are unbelievable

prediction deng will not be playing for the cavs next year

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/chicago.htm

taj, noah and rose basically next year

what a shit organization

searching twitter for deng and reading randos reactions is p funny

dan gilbert needs to be banned from basketball

in comic sans, natch

YOUR BANNED LOL

what the hell

what about the cavs massively over paying to retain deng thats in play right

the craziest part of this might be the boozer and bynum are gonna be out there for contenders to scoop up

lol at any team taking bynum

boozer back to miami would kill me
