John from Riverside Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I understand like less than 5% of all NBA trades. I have no idea who is good, bad, and why the moves are made for salary or picks. Seems like sometimes draft picks are considered to be gold and other times not. Then guys like Brendan Haywood are considered huge trade assets because of their salary, even though he is terrible. Just don't get it. It looks like Deng and Mozgov were huge FA mistakes for he lakers and probably led to Mitch getting canned The ghost of what used to be Luo Deng is running around out there doing nothing and Mozgov is on the end of the bench getting NO playing time....huge contracts went to those 2 players Meanwhile.....the lakers continue to tank while they find young players that with experience might be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 anyone wanting to discuss a better sport, the daytona is starting up thread here Racing and Golf aren't sports. Enjoy the circles Cuse is -10 today against the birds. That spread is wacked. Look out for a whooping. To much easy money will be riding on Cuse after that big win against Duke. Cuse was minus 10 ? I hope you housed Louisville, they aren't bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I understand like less than 5% of all NBA trades. I have no idea who is good, bad, and why the moves are made for salary or picks. Seems like sometimes draft picks are considered to be gold and other times not. Then guys like Brendan Haywood are considered huge trade assets because of their salary, even though he is terrible. Just don't get it. So many terrible players are given big money deals, that swapping out a terrible player with a 3 year deal for a terrible player with 1 year left is actually worth a lot, trade value wise. All about creating cap. That's why the NBA with its 15 man roster per team has just as many big dead money bad players as the entire NFL with 53 man rosters. Conversely, picks are worth much less, or at least valued much less for the most part. A team like GS or the Cavs will probably not be lottery teams for 5 years, making their first rounders next to useless compared to a team like the 76ers or the Magic. Basically, the top 10 picks in the NBA are treated like the entire first round in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetou Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Bummed about the Ben Simmons injury. Simmons/Saric/Embiid was gonna be fun. Time for Justin Anderson to step up and kick some butt. What was the connection between Simmons/Saric/Embiid and Justin Anderson back in October? I decided to read this thread from the beginning and am confused by this. Anyhow, Dario for MVP.

Never knew he was gonna get traded to the Sixers, but I'm happy to have Nerlens going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
