It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Lilliard if the Blazers are nothing much at mid season. I don’t think they want to trade him (or will) unless he forces the issue and they have to get value for him while they can.

TBH I’m surprised he’s still in Portland. They fired their coach and have a player friendly young coach but where’s his help. He deserves a shot at a title IMO. The Nets should swap Kyrie for Lillard.That would be a Net’s dynasty
But shipping Kyrie out will upset KD. Kryrie was the one who recruited KD in the dugout of an all-star game, forming the Recruitment Part II.
The game is all about BFFs, like even Tatum and Beal are 'telling' the world that they are BFF.

Keep track of every official offseason move for all 30 NBA teams before the 2021-22 season.
Yeah, and I also highly doubt the Blazers want anything to do with Kyrie -- not exactly the culture guy you want to build around. I think Kyrie, whether the Nets would want to or not, is untradeable. .But shipping Kyrie out will upset KD.

You're probably correct Rob. In spite of all those things I have to admit that when Kyrie is sane and healthy and on his game, he has a mid range jumper that hits almost 100% of the time
I would have loved to see the Lakers trade for Lillard rather than spend $44M on Westbrook . Even if it cost the Lakers the same amount or more IMO there's more game left in Lillard and "better game" as well than what's left in Westbrook
Just seems sane and healthy for Kyrie = 30 games/yr. And def yeah, Lilliard is a far better player than Westbrook. I think Lilliard/Durant wins a championship, but obviously Westbrook/KD does not.

looks like Ballmer is going all out
poor Rondo. Dubious distinction of playing for at least 6 teams in the past 2-3 years
Clippers are trading Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo and Daniel Oturu to Memphis for Eric Bledsoe (Woj)

Interesting.....Bledsoe was drafted by the Clippers, played for a couple years and then was traded to the Suns in 2013. Sad to see Pat Bev go but he missed a lot of games last year due to injuries.
He was called Baby Bron at the beginning of his career. Bledsoe is 31 now so hope he has more in the tank.

OK, here's a little more info on why the Clips did the deal. Makes more sense now. Pat Bev had value but Rondo and Oturo, not so much. Per Bobby Marks, Clippers get a trade exception and cut tax bill by $30mm.
Good deal in my mind. Savings plus end up with a better player (I think)

Cap ramifications for LAC/MEM: LAC Eric Bledsoe: $18.1M and $19.4M ($3.9M GTY)
LAC will see their tax bill drop from $125M to $95M (savings of $30M)
$8.3M Trade Exception for LAC
MEM -
Patrick Beverley: $14.3M Rajon Rondo: $7.5M ($750K likely bonus) Daniel Oturu: $1.5M

They other day I read some news that IT scored 81 points in a ProAm game. I don't know what that league is, but today I read that 2nd year Celtics guard Prtichard scored 91 points. If that were an NBA game , it means he can close his eyes and easily score 31 points.
Good luck to his team. Fans in Dallas still boo'd him when he played there. Can't forget that barking incident with Coach Carlisle years ago. To me, only the worse disrespectful act would be Robert Horry throwing a towel in the face of his coach in Phoenix.
Ho
How about Latrell Sprewell choking and punching Warriors coach PJ Carlesimo in 1997. That has to rank right up there with the worst.

Definitely. He was suspended for some period and Mugsy Bogues in an interview said he witnessed the event in the gym. That act of Sprewell could have turned 'criminal' had PJ died from it.

How about Ron Artest ( Metta World Peace) in the big brawl in the stands in 2004. Huge suspension
Artest was said to be the strongest player in the league
I remember someone told me in a summer camp pick up game with MJ, he broke the ribs of MJ.
