Motherfukkers out there discussing adding a beer budget and adding extra zeroes to Mike D'Antoni's contract.

Hawks have their pick.

 

[PTBG]

Hawks have disabled player exception like Nets. However, unlike Brooklyn, Atlanta own their 2014 second-round pick.

Lakers pit Hawks/Cavs/Nets against each other to try and get more than cap space for Jordan Hill... 2014 trade deadline you're the best!

No, the next move for the Lakers would’ve been to get another power forward after trading both Gasol and Odom, and the guy Los Angeles was lining up was Michael Beasley of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers nearly picked up Beasley at the trade deadline months later, before Minnesota pulled out, but they would’ve gone after him harder without Gasol.

To get Howard, the Lakers would’ve used all the future draft-pick sweeteners they wound up handing over to the Phoenix Suns in the Steve Nash sign-and-trade deal a year later. They also could’ve forked over the other first-round pick they burned at the trade deadline to get Ramon Sessions briefly to be a very poor man’s version of Paul.

Welcome to today’s NBA, where the tanking teams learned to game the system and compromise present-day competitiveness from the commissioner’s own office.

Knowing Howard’s desire to play with Paul was an additional reason why the nullified trade was so devastating, leaving Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak sitting in his office long into the night with Jerry Buss’ longtime lawyer Jim Perzik.

Basketball Reasons will always live on in infamy.
