Minnesota is now starting to look scary.
Teague, Wiggins, Butler, Dieng, Towns...

They aren't going to compete with the Warriors but have easily become a top 5 team in the West.

If they stay together 2/3 years they will be contenders for sure. They need some pieces smaller rotation players and a better C/PF Dieng is a nice player but would prefer someone else to start he can come off bench. Maybe an experienced one Milsap/Randolf would be ideal if they can get now or they can can wait and get one either at trading deadline or next year.

They have an excellent coach in Tibbs and has proven this year he can be a good executive as well with the moves he made.

76ers will be scary in the future. Minnesota too.

This PG13 trade is mind boggling for stupidity on the Pacers side. For the Tunder it is great, even if PG13 walks out the door next year the point of this trade is to get Russ to sign and ext plus as a bonus they get rid of the Olandipo contract so they will have cap if PG13 walks. Sam Presti is a genius for getting Pacers to do this trade.

On the Pacers side I get it why they want to trade PG13 and also why they go for Olandipo as he would sell tickets he played in Indy in college. But they should have gotten way more, those two a pair of first rounders and Kanter should have been the minimum haul.

Cavs essentially offered them Shump/Frye & Love much better deal they could have flipped those two for better assets than they got plus from a value standpoint better players. They wanted Irving not Love. Boston reportedly offered them next year's Nets pick and Celtics Pick they wanted both those and this year's Nets one which Celtics took Taytum with.

The timing made no sense as well just wait it out maybe Boston/Cleveland or someone else get desperate and offer more. Rumor has it Boston was pitching to Hayward that they would get PG13 if Hayward signs if your Indy wait till Hayward commits to Boston then squeeze every ounce of assets you get form them.

If you trust the process!

76ers have been trying to rebuild for 20 years... not sure I believe it until they win some games!

Maybe this year 76ers can perform, win more games than lose.

Health major concern for Sixers if they all stay healthy they should be close to .500.

Some updates to who interested
Sixers sign Amir Johnson and JJ Redick. JJ got $23M on a one year and Johnson around $12 I think.

Rockets - Nene back on market he ended up 12 days short in age to get a 4 yr deal so he did not want the 3 year one $10M. Also Cavs are looking to send Shump to Rockets a pick and some expiring contracts so they can clear cap space to offer Korver a better deal and maybe sign someone else.

Cavs sign Jose Calderon for minimum I guess they might let D Will walk. Could possibly save a small amount of cap space there. Z. Randolf and Cavs has rumored to have reach an agreement details should come in tomorrow.

Big Clipper fan, not too upset

I was wondering what you guys think will happen with the clippers. I believed we needed to move from our core 3 im just wondering what jerry west and doc are thinking moving forward. I didnt mind a full rebuild but it looks like they are trying to re-tool. Thoughts on the Clips?

Doc has to go and take his son with him for you guys to start to go anywhere. They probably give him a year or two along with Blake to see if things can work if not move on from both and clear house and rebuild from scratch.

CP3 was a ball hog that wasn't really a friendly player always upset always crying to referee having said that he was their best player and did a lot to elevate team to where it is and deserved his money they did not want to give him the 5th year.

Resigning Blake is smart risky business move to sell tickets they are not going anywhere championship wise and got no good future assets right now to rebuild roster from scratch. Plus new stadium soon so got to fill seats. Contract is very risky and could come back to bite them in the behind because of Blake injury history they could get the contract insured so if god forbid and Blake gets hurt long term and cannot play contract remains on books for duration period.

In terms of the team next season the trade with Houston got some players P. Beverley good defender and can hit an outside shot very feisty character. L. Williams good scorer can come off bench but you guys J. Crawford almost identical players.

You guys need a 2 guard to replace JJ not heard anything about who they targeting. Also you guys got a lot of players that can use to swing a trade for. But Doc has shown from his time here he is not too good with trades and GM stuff as a whole.

Offense has to run through Blake now in the post he is actually a good passer and playmaker and was over shadowed by CP3 in that regard we will see if he can rise and answer the bell with the responsibility of carrying the franchise.

If guys stay healthy they should be in the mix for 7/8 seed.

East looks wide open for playoff spots Cavs still clearly favorites Boston will be 2nd favorites if they can sign Haywood but if they don't get him them Toronto and Wizards will be fighting for the second spot.

After those 4 is anyone's guess.

Who's your guys guess for next 4 playoff teams in East? Mine is Bucks, Hornets, Heat, Sixers.

 

[iveyfan]

Kings also sign Zach Randoplph now... 2 years 24 million

I have the East at Cavs, Raps, Celts, Wiz, Bucks, Sixers, Pistons, Heat (if they re-sign Waiters). Hornets take the Heat's 8th seed if they can't re-sign Waiters.

Still a lot of chips to fall but if the Heat lose Waiters, which is likely, I don't think they make it.

 

[iveyfan]

It's the West that becomes super interesting now... I have no idea how the West pans out.

Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Jazz w/Hayward (miss playoffs if they don't re-sign him), T-Wolves, Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers... Kings, Portland, New Orleans and Memphis just miss out.

 

[iveyfan]

Well... let me revise Boston up to 2nd on my standings and the Jazz out of the playoffs on the other one as ESPN is reporting that Hayward is going to Boston
