You could have him for the rights to some unsigned 2nd round pick from years ago

Pretty impressive numbers for the Clippers and Hawks so far.

Sergio Llull?

 

[Bilz]

Sergio Llull?

Sounds good. I don't care if he's pumping gas somewhere these days, he's better than Casspi and his stupid fans.

 

[Frump]

I dont wanna hear about the Celtics taking the next step,winning the atlantic and ECF again...

@SchoolboyC

Ainge holding onto those Net picks like they gonna give him some top 10 player in the league eventually

 

[Derek Lee]

Casspi is garbage.

He's been trash this year, but he's had two really productive seasons prior to this some. 48.43 FG% and 40.72 3p FG% the last two seasons combined. Can play 20-25 minutes off the bench for teams like Chicago or Oklahoma City that can use some shooting.

 

[SchoolboyC]

League. 3 for each conference with a dark horse or 2. As in the western conference last year.

That's fair. But I don't think KD going to the Warriors prevents that from happening

Slowly creeping up to Top 20, Beverley byke on Thursday too.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Chris Paul aging like fine wine.

Come hold this L. @Gil Scott-Heroin

"B-b-b-but he's not an elite defender anymore, he's losing athleticism"

2nd greatest PG of all time

Lowkey 1st

And he still isn't. If you're going to tag me, at least come with better shots than this. I mean are we really going to do this in November? You do realize that this Harden, CP and Lillard shyt you're throwing out there will come back to bite you when the playoffs roll around.... right?

 

[Alexander The Great]

would Sacramento accept?

Boston gets: D. Cousins

Sac gets: Amir Johnson, J. Jerbko, Boston's 1st rd pick in 2017(which is the Brooklyn pick) and Boston's 1st in 2019

 

[Saint1]

I hope the Clippers stay healthy so we can get a HOU LAC rematch in the playoffs

 

[Bilz]

He's been trash this year, but he's had two really productive seasons prior to this some. 48.43 FG% and 40.72 3p FG% the last two seasons combined. Can play 20-25 minutes off the bench for teams like Chicago or Oklahoma City that can use some shooting.

He just seems like a really stupid player to me. Even when he is shooting decent he never seems like he's making a positive contribution.

If one if those teams could just get him to stand in a corner, he might be useful for short minutes. Inevitably he will try to do too much.

 

[Bilz]

would Sacramento accept?

Boston gets: D. Cousins

Sac gets: Amir Johnson, J. Jerbko, Boston's 1st rd pick in 2017(which is the Brooklyn pick) and Boston's 1st in 2019

Nah, if they let Cousins go they'll already have top 5 picks for the next 10 years.
