By Adam Blade Go To PostSo, who's had the worst offseason? POR, LAC, LAL, NYK?
... :(
NYK got Rolo, chalk that up as a win.
I don't see any Ws in any columns for the others.

Portland went from 51 wins to bottom 5 in the league, Clips went from almost WCF to fringe playoff team or potential 1st round fodder, LA went from bottom 5 to bottom 8, Knicks went from bottom 3 to a incredibly slim chance of making the playoffs.
i think you have them in the correct order.
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostThey lost 5 of their best 6 players, shit is gonna be painful.Yeah, I guess them blowing it up hasn't entirely hit me yet. Going from Division Champs to worst in the West just seems so jarring. Wonder if Denver follows suit. Everybody else in that bottom 5 seems like they want to win.
By lawlohwhat Go To PostAll of these stories about locker room issues and the tug of war between LMA's people and olshey's PR shenanigans misses the fact that a very good fanbase is being jerked around by everyone. It's like being a child witnessing a bad divorce.Did you really just play the "WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?!?!?!" card?
By masud Go To PostSummer league guys (Thanasis included) can be added for the minimum so we could add one of them in addition to Shved. If Thanasis is good enough (he isn't) he'll be on the roster.
People are actually debating if they should give shved real money still? Thats when you know you've gone of the deep end.
By K@do Go To Postisn't cory joseph still available?
he's a good pg. i'd like the lakers to pick him up please.
Please do this Lakers. PLEASE.
By K@do Go To PostBut i do agree with him though, the Buss family needs to sell the team.
Cause changing ownership typically results in quick turn arounds for teams going from losing to winning, right, Kings?
By giririsss Go To PostCause changing ownership typically results in quick turn arounds for teams going from losing to winning, right, Kings?not if you retain Mitch and bring back the Logo. literally where ever the logo goes, the franchise excels.
just look at Lakers the past 30 years and GSW the past few years.
this is all moot though, the likelyhood of this happening is pretty much impossible.
also, Mitch aint done yet.
Snell? McDermott?
But seems like this dude is new to the nba rumour mill, and the following is really low, so w/e.
Mike Adamle @TheMikeAdamle 1h1 hour ago
Just received word that the Bulls may be sending one of our players to LA within the next week or two.
Mike Adamle @TheMikeAdamle 25m25 minutes ago
Here's the scoop:
All I know is that the Bulls would obtain Lin and Hill. No word on who the Lakers are getting quite yet.

How did the Knicks even remotely have a bad offseason? We got Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant, and Kyle O'Quinn.
You didn't even mention the Kings.
Lou Williams is a $10mil per guy based on the contracts being handed out but we got him at 7 for 3 years. And they say no one wants to come to LA
I prefer him at 7 to Afflalo at 8 or Shump at 10 etc.

As far as deals go Afflalo> Shump> Lou
NetsDaily.com @NetsDaily 8m8 minutes agoGood.
Told Johnson trade talks are preliminary and not likely to be productive.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostHow did the Knicks even remotely have a bad offseason? We got Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant, and Kyle O'Quinn.Yeah I think you had about add good of an offseason as could reasonably be expected aside from possibly your first draft choice. The Blazers undeniably had the worst offseason, though the Clippers might have had the most disappointing one considering they were one player away from having a better team than last year.

The Kings got a lot of talent. The trade may end up a terrible trade, but they got major talent upgrades.
Woj saying Mavs and Lakers talking SnT for Lin. Wonder if it'll be an Ellis/Hibbert/Lin thing. How would that even work?
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostRaps didn't even offer Lou Williams a deal.You can look forward to a lot of this
you know what, this might help you
By etiolation Go To PostThe Kings got a lot of talent. The trade may end up a terrible trade, but they got major talent upgrades.Not to mention veteran leadership - something this team has badly needed for awhile.
Rondo and Belli are both champions. Koufos with playoff experience.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 46s47 seconds agoJustin Anderson please.
Sources: Dallas engaging Lakers on sign-and-trade options for free agent Jeremy Lin. Mavs low on space to sign him to market-level deal.
Lol there's so much hate for Lin on twitter. I think his hate is overblown, but I wonder if it's because of all his obnoxious fans.
Lol no way Mavs are giving up Anderson already. You'll take Felton and like it

By diehard Go To PostRondo and leadership? lolgonna lead us to keeping our pick if he's not traded by December
6 man goes west ;_; the bench gets a lot less deeper :(
But if Raps weren't even giving him a contract.. good for him.

By SamuraiX- Go To PostNot to mention veteran leadership - something this team has badly needed for awhile.Omg.
Rondo and Belli are both champions.
I can't.
I remember when Rondo tried to fight Rick C and then quit on his team and then he and the team agreed that pretending to be injured would be the best call for the playoffs.
Not sure about the leadership stuff there, but idk.

Lakers are out there Kings like right now
By Forever Go To PostOh and Suns deserve an honorable mention.
That was more of the last 4 months of last season (with IT2 and Dragic both being traded and the Morris Twins deciding to assault someone in front of witnesses because of a "Your Mom" joke).
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostCan't wait for mid season etio and Samurai thoughts on Rondo
Brandy pre-trade: "Listen, our PG play can't get any worse."
By IWMTB19 Go To PostBrandy pre-trade: "Listen, our PG play can't get any worse."lol I remember that.
3-way trade incoming. looks like ray felton is gone.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 21s21 seconds ago
It is still possible the Lakers could include a player to Indiana in the Roy Hibbert trade, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
@BobbyMarks42
As @Adrian Wojnarowski reported regarding s/t DAL for J. Lin. With room tight to fit Wes/DJ, might need a 3rd team to take back Felton's contract.
I don't know what to make of Rondo. That he didn't like the Dallas situation is pretty obvious. Why I am not sure. I don't think he fit the system they run in Dallas. Didn't like the coach.
When Dallas went to Boston after the trade, Rondo had a monster game. " By the playoffs, he didn't seem to like how things were. Most bothersome was his defense.
With Karl, and if the team loses, then that can happen again. Only hope is that playing with friends will make him invested in the team.

Didn't like the coach.Rondo didn't like the free flowing style of dallas's offense. They don't call a ton of pre-defined plays. He regularly used to argue with carlisle about it. That they needed more set plays, needed to call more of them too.

I don't think he'll like George Karl much then...
Celtics point differential per 100 possessions:
Rondo on: -2.5
Isaiah on: +7.5
This isn't going to go well in Sacramento.

Carlisle was best friends with Jason fucking Kidd, who hates everyone and wants to take over the world.
If Rondo can't get along with him what chance do Karl and Vivek have?

My favorite Isaiah vs. Rondo stat though:
Isaiah Thomas 21 games in Boston FTM: 118
Rajon Rondo last three years: 133

By IWMTB19 Go To PostThat was more of the last 4 months of last season (with IT2 and Dragic both being traded and the Morris Twins deciding to assault someone in front of witnesses because of a "Your Mom" joke).And yet interestingly enough they were still reported to be neck and neck with the Spurs to sign Aldridge. Which is baffling but a credit to McD.
Its crappy to overpay for Chandler and miss out on Aldridge, but it theoretically puts them on the map for big free agents. Last year it was Lebron (shared agent with Bledsoe), this year Aldridge, eventually someone will bite. Still have a lot of young players and tradeable bargain contracts. And I don't think McD is done yet by any means.
