Steal a team from loyal fans and win a championship. Sounds like the Browns/Ravens.

Hawks and Hornets had some fun recently with ESPN's trade machine and potential NBA deals involving puppies, rights to future tweets, and Instagram post.

Edit: Turns out they actually made a trade after joking about fake trades. Hornets get Dwight Howard and 2017 1st Round pick while Hawks get Miles Plumlee, Marco Belinelli and 2017 2nd Round pick.

I wish I cared about/followed basketball more. NBA seems like such a fun league to be a fan of, relative to say, the NFL

Ruien 06-21-2017 08:17 AM

Butler telling th4 Cavs to shove it and he wants to be a Bull. Fuck ya.

Droford 06-21-2017 11:09 PM

Anyone care about the 3 on 3 league that's starting this weekend?

Ruien 06-21-2017 11:35 PM

Ya. Seems like it will be fun to.watch. Probably will forget about it though.

Droford 06-23-2017 01:04 AM

How about the G League

Lebron' s magic is fading. He use to be able to get whoever he wanted to want to play with him. Even Paul George is like, meh nah bro.

lol cmon now be serious everyone wants to play with the goat the king of akron

Ruien 06-24-2017 09:12 AM

Butler and George have/we're out spoken about telling Cleveland to fuck off.

Emperor Smeat 06-24-2017 04:52 PM

Besides Cavs having no real leverage for trades/deals, nobody big is going to go there unless its guaranteed Lebron stays after next season.

George didn't want to take a big pay cut while Butler didn't want to be stuck on another terrible team after next season once Lebron and pals bolt.

ClockShot 06-28-2017 07:54 AM

Good fuckin' riddance, Phil Jackson.

You're a NBA coaching legend. But you sure as hell can't run a team.

Evil Vito 06-28-2017 08:29 AM

Firing him months after picking up his two-year contract option.
Firing him days after allowing him to draft Frank Ntilikina instead of Dennis Smith specifically because Frank plays the triangle.

Only the Knicks.

Emperor Smeat 06-30-2017 10:10 PM

Thunder just got Paul George in a deal with Indy.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just to confirm it all: It's Paul George for Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo. No picks.</p>&mdash; Royce Young (@royceyoung) <a href="https://twitter.com/royceyoung/status/880969148192481281">July 1, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If that was the best Indy could get, clear sign George is bolting to LA after next season. Also them joining Chicago in coming out the worst for their superstar deals.

Ruien 06-30-2017 10:34 PM

Butler has 2 years left though

RP 06-30-2017 10:37 PM

I want to die right now.

Also, Oladipo is still owed 84 million for the next 4 years. Probably the worst contract in the nba right now.

I really just want to die.

Emperor Smeat 07-01-2017 12:21 AM

Apparently this was supposedly the offer the Pacers rejected on draft night for Paul George from the Cs. This was when it was well known George wanted to bolt to LA:
Quote:

#Celtics offered #Pacers 3 1st Rd picks (not #Nets/#Lakers) picks, Crowder, another starter for George on draft night
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Celtics offer on draft night for Paul George, per league source, was 3 first-round picks (not the Nets pick next... <a href="https://t.co/ItE6PTulen">https://t.co/ItE6PTulen</a></p>&mdash; Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) <a href="https://twitter.com/GoodmanESPN/status/880972844296945664">July 1, 2017</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

And supposedly the offer from last season's trade deadline by the Cs. This was before George's agent revealed the desire to bolt to LA after next season:
Quote:

Celtics trade offer for Paul George back at trade deadline, per league source: Brooklyn pick (wound up being No. 1) and 3 other first-rounders.

Ruien 07-01-2017 01:35 AM

Lol wtf.

Emperor Smeat 07-01-2017 02:48 AM

According to ESPN's NBA show tonight, Pacers mentality for making the George trade was:
* No trade to Cavs or Cs unless they could get something bigger than a king's ransom.
* Didn't want him to stay in the East.
* Willing to trade him to any West team not named the Lakers.

Reason they didn't take the Lakers' earlier deal was because they didn't want to make George happy after he tanked his trade value for the team. Same with Cavs and Cs that a Lakers deal only happens if the Lakers would give up a lot more to get him.

Also reported had the Pacers waited a bit till after the Cs got Hayward, they were set to get as a minimum 1 1st Round pick, Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder, and Avery Bradley from the Cs.

Ruien 07-01-2017 08:46 AM

God damn. Tank your franchise because you want to be an asshole.

Bad News Gertner 07-01-2017 10:29 AM

Woooo, Jazz got Ricky Rubio for nothing. Hayward ain't going anywhere.

Ruien 07-01-2017 03:43 PM

Lol. Hayward is already gone. He will be playing in green this year.

RP 07-01-2017 07:38 PM

Hayward is going to Miami and getting brown skinned bitches all over his britches

Evil Vito 07-03-2017 09:48 AM

Paul Milsap 3 years, $90 million.

Kyle Lowry 3 years, $100 million.

Nosebleed seats are gonna cost $1,000 a game at this point.

ClockShot 07-03-2017 10:33 AM

Since when did the NBA become the MLB?

Ruien 07-03-2017 01:41 PM

The day Mike Conley received like 180 million.

2014. When they got a 24 billion dollar TV deal.

Emperor Smeat 07-04-2017 08:05 PM

Danny Ainge managed to snag Gordon Hayward from the Jazz and Heat.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-04-2017 08:19 PM

South Boston is probably celebrating on the street for the Celtics now have a great white hope.

Too bad for Ainge's son he'll probably lose that Utah election now.

Woooooo Celtics!

Bad News Gertner 07-04-2017 08:40 PM

Hope he dies in a car accident

Emperor Smeat 07-04-2017 09:15 PM

Hayward's deal with the Cs ended up being 4 years, $128 million.

Ruien 07-04-2017 10:02 PM

Hell ya. In 2 years the Celtics win the East.

Bad News Gertner 07-04-2017 10:59 PM

That's insane money for a #2

Ruien 07-05-2017 09:20 AM

Really? Do you see what everyone else is receiving?

Evil Vito 07-05-2017 09:47 AM

The Heat are retiring Chris Bosh's number.

lol
