2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

JR is needed on the Cavs to whip this ragtag bunch into winners.

Hill/Clarkson
Hood/Smith
Lebron/Korver/Osman
Love/Nance/Green
Thompson/Zizic

isaiah's agent already making noise about how he's not coming off the bench lol

dont think u cn play nance and thomson together not enough shooting, prob gonna see bron mostly at 4 until love returns

i think id rather have deandre than love

Strong expectation in Cleveland that one of the Cavaliers’ soon-to-open roster spots — barring any more trades — will be filled by Kendrick Perkins

haa

rip to a bust

Denver is trading Emmanuel Mudiay to New York, league sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 8, 2018

Denver, New York and Dallas agreed on a three-way deal, league sources tell ESPN. Mudiay to Knicks; Devin Harris to Denver and Doug McDermott to Dallas.

lol what is the point even

i heard that the knicks were checking on elfrid peyton too, so just really into guards that can't play this deadline

iirc devin harris was traded by the mavs approximately 200 times

yrc

a part two thread can not come soon enough here! lost my bookmark and took forever to load this thing

tax move

Portland has traded Noah Vonleh and cash to Chicago for the rights to Milocan Rakovic, league sources tell ESPN.

he really was a bust, wasn't he

Before Thursday's conversation with LeBron re: Dwyane Wade, Cavs GM Koby Altman had talked to LeBron before Wednesday night's game vs Minnesota to tell him the Cavs had traction on a few deals.

gm bron

the Rose thing is so dumb

Sources: There's still hope within Kenneth Faried's camp that Denver will find a trade for Kenneth Faried and allow him a fresh start elsewhere. Denver has been talking to teams -- including Indiana -- but those haven't resulted in a deal.

groundhog day

#FariedKenneth

So did bron sign off on sending wade back to Miami to a) shield him from brons wrath when he turns on his roster when the playoffs get rough b) to go prep the area for his arrival back in Miami this summer or c) both

Haha the never ending trade speculation around faried is one of my low key favorite half decade old hoop subplots

Hill/Clarkson
Hood/Smith
Lebron/Korver/Osman
Love/Nance/Green
Thompson/Zizic

This is absolutely an upgrade from yesterday but the measuring stick is still curry/Thompson/Durant/green/sentient bag of trash and I know which one wins

sentient bag of trash is key i agree

• The Wade to Heat trade def seems like a courtesy move for a cooked all-star.
• Rose waived by Jazz and picked up by Kings would be vmic all the way around. That MVP wrecked Rose even more than his injuries did.
• I note that Dan Gilbert hasn't parted with his Nets first round pick, yet.
• Picking up minutes on a bad team like Chicago might help Vonleh out of his funk, but if he wants to stick in the league he should learn to be defensive specialist in the off season, cuz his offense/rebounding won't carry him.

Orlando has traded Elfrid Payton to Phoenix for a second-round pick, league source tells ESPN.

lol they were looking for Frank back from NY for Payton

some good bust point guard shuffling going on today

now to just sit and wait to see if memphis will take marcus smart or a 2nd for tyreke

sounds like it didn't happen

IT CLD STILL TRICKLE IN

guys what a great stupid trade deadline this has been also cavs are good now that cursed d rose is howling in the void

its funny the cavs actually resemble a normal team now, a superstar an allstar and a bunch of role players who make sense

yeah it’s really admirable how the front office slithered this together while also threading the bron (not bron) needle

otm theyre better this year while still positioned for a post bron future

lot of new players to integrate by the offs tho

it is kind of amazing

"We, probably more than any other organization in the NBA right now, have the healthiest salary structure, the healthiest flexibility."

- bob marley rob pelinka

altmans got game i guess

yeah of course the risk is all these dudes don’t figure out how to play together and coach lue really isn’t in the strongest position considering xp

theyd be in a lot better shape if love wasnt out for basically the rest of the regular season since thats gonna fuck with their rotations too

but i mean they had no choice and theyre in a ton better shape than they were this morning if they get bounced by boston or toronto so be it

yea they had to do something. wouldve been nice though to get rid of tristan & JR for something better

wow check out mr picky over here

yeah they are solid, even if it doesnt work they showed the bron they were (mostly) all in and didnt have to leverage much future for it. cavs win today easily. sometimes you just gotta reshuffle and clear the stale air.

lol xp, i think w/ all the action i just kept getting greedier and greedier MORE TRADES! MORE! DEANDRE JORDAN! KEMBA WALKER!! cavs twitter universe has been the same

lol fair trades will drive u wild

gotta admit the dense waft of a coming trade gets me horny like a teenager woof woof

btw cavs can still trade that nets pick predraft if bron agrees to stay, so if the team looks good and then they can still add a dre jordan and things of that nature itd be a pretty good incentive for bron

Wait til you see Deandre coffin somebody for the first time in a Cavs uniform
