Talk about turning lemons in lemonade. OKC is better than teams like the Suns, Timberwolves, etc. Unless they just trade players to bottom out they are a 7th or 8th seed.

Lakers could really use him. Rondo has reverted back to his awful self after a deceptive start to the season.

I mean to be fair to Cleveland there isn't much they can do. And signing Love to that massive contract was always a strange move on their part after Lebron left.

On a completely unrelated side note, Kyle Kuzma has become a complete shit player for some reason this season.

Quote

Detroit Pistons star Blake Griffin underwent an arthroscopic procedure Tuesday on his injured knee and will be out indefinitely, the team announced.

The Pistons said in a statement that following the surgery, Griffin will undergo an "extended rehabilitation period."

Griffin, a six-time All Star, has played only 18 games this season because of issues with the knee. He had arthroscopic surgery on the same knee in April.

Quote

Basketball and other sports stars are typically given multi-year contracts that work out to a certain dollar amount per year. Dinwiddie hopes that by tokenizing his three-year, $34.36 million contract, he will be able to collect its value up front, instead of having to wait.

Dinwiddie plans to sell 90 tokens for $150,000 each to accredited investors. After a year, they will be tradeable. The digital security will pay out 4.95% interest on a monthly basis, and fully pay out when it matures in 2023, according to Forbes. Dinwiddie says the structure he and his legal team have created can be used by other players too.

I know it's only the Cavs, but Pels looked pretty good against the Celtics other night as well. Will see how they look against Houston, but it seems like they are coming together a bit better than expected. Hope to sneak into playoffs, which honestly most had written off.

well this is the most fun i've had watching the wiz since the 2016-17 run largely because outside of IT, we don't have a single rental on the roster so it's hard to agree that it's much of the same shit when the entire ethos of the team has been changed from top to bottom

The Timberwolves are orchestrating multiteam trade discussions with Houston and Atlanta in hopes of ultimately turning discussions into a four-way deal that brings Golden State guard D'Angelo Russell to Minnesota, league sources told ESPN.

The Timberwolves, Rockets and Hawks have the assets to fulfill some of each team's goals: forward Robert Covington to Houston, center Clint Capela to the Hawks and potentially two first-round picks and an expiring contract to Minnesota, league sources said.

The New York Knicks parted ways with president Steve Mills, the team announced Tuesday.

General manager Scott Perry will oversee the basketball operations in the interim, the team said.

The Knicks' front-office shake-up on Tuesday comes two days before Thursday's NBA trade deadline.

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to a deal to send Andre Iguodala to the Miami Heat, a league source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Iguodala agreed to the trade, and he has also agreed to a two-year, $30 million extension with Miami, sources said.

Justise Winslow is also part of the package headed to Memphis in the trade, sources told Wojnarowski.

So the Lakers have not been especially good against decent teams (they feast on the crap teams) and Kuzma and Rondo have become almost unplayable. The Lakers are not as good as their record.
