2·12 hours agoI don’t follow the blazers at all, has he come out in support of Pissrael ever or is this just from him being Jewish?
I think World gets the win if they’re mostly healthy.

4·1 day agoSeems like Cleveland no longer believes in this core and I heard they don’t believe Mitchell will re-sign so they’re trying to get a replacement guard.

NBA@lemmy.world•Bulls trade Nikola Vucevic to Celtics for Anfernee SimonsEnglish
2·1 day agoThis is probably one of their more logical moves I feel like.
Vucevic makes more sense on a contender and Celtics needed front court players.
Simmons has potential but has overlap with too much of what the Celtics have and it makes sense for the Bulls to see what he has.

1·1 day agoI don’t follow them closely but this one confused me as well. Guessing they’re going to try and mar playoffs next year with their current team?
Can’t really see them making anything more than the play ins with how tough the west is though.

NBA@lemmy.world•Giannis ready to get traded before trade deadlineEnglish
1·5 days agoYeah I feel like Jimmy deserves a ring after the crazy runs he willed those Miami teams to but looks like he’ll be up there with Barkley for best to never win one :/
Yea Steph/Giannis pairing is a dream pair lol

2·5 days agoOnly team I’ve seen that has showed real interest (so not Spurs, OKC, rockets, etc.) and has enough to make the bucks pull the trigger now instead of offseason is the warriors.
They can trade butler 1:1 salary wise but if needed include Kuminga and some others if they want Turner too. They also have draft picks the bucks would want.
Timberwolves, Knicks, etc. don’t have enough to trade right now imo.
Haven’t tested but I’m sure that’s how it works. The effect is basically the same as Gyardos EX but is just 2 vs 1.
Definitely risky if both happen to hit you but I’m going to be using mantyke for acceleration anyway so shouldn’t get burned too often.

Haven’t followed the Warriors much this year, does this change their plans for the deadline?

NBA@lemmy.world•Antony Davis to Undergo Hand Surgery; Out Several MonthsEnglish
2·22 days agoYou’re right I more meant there isn’t a market based on the value the Mavs likely want to get back based on reports.

3·22 days agoYeah there already wasn’t really a market but now I don’t think anyone is going to bother when they can just wait until the summer
I think using the previous trades of 4+ picks for valuation is inaccurate in the current market because way more teams are super conscious about avoiding the salary cap aprons.
Having locked in low salary players on rookie deals is huge for team building so picks are a bit more valuable especially given a lot of teams don’t have their own picks anymore.
I would say the exception to this is for a true tier 1 talent like Giannis since those players are worth the risk of an all in play but someone like Trae or Morant who have clear risks plus their salary impact to the rest of team building makes their trade value lower than in previous CBA agreements.

Feel like a lot of stars are possibly moving either this deadline or this summer.

Really hope the revolution can survive without him.





Yeah it’s basically going to be the 30th pick since OKC is probably leading the league and a late first depending on the year and warriors record.
Trae/AD is actually a decent combo especially in the East but the question as always is how many games is AD playing. Still pretty low risk with what they gave up.
