Redick traded to Mavericks, I guess this one is a big news too, you can trust his guy in the playoffs, he has a good shooting range and he is already a veteran. I guess Mavericks are just doing a great job here but it seems Redick is not happy. Thoughts?

I guess he doesn't have the bargaining power here, of course the Management will say that he will be traded to X team, but we all know that a lot can change and most probably it was in the best interest of the team to have him trade to Dallas.

Feel sorry for JJ, but it is what it is. Everyone can be traded in any teams, whether they like the team or not. He should have known better.

From the article..

JJ Redick says he was 'shocked' to learn he was dealt to Mavs after being assured he'd end up closer to home

This is the reason why he was shocked, but management can change their promise anyway, this is business and they can't deal with personal matters here but for the best in interest of the business. I hope he will be able to help the Mavs especially in the playoffs so once again he can show his skills in the playoffs.

No one has posted that so this is still a fresh news.

Why is it that he's "shocked"? did his management didn't talked to him first and got a counsel even though they're the one manages him? He has to embrace whatever the deal says and just focus on their upcoming games.

As per the article, he said he was assured that he will be close to his family, but this news came, of course its understandable that he is shocked as he might not be expecting he will be traded to another team that is far from his home. Well, since the deal is done, he just need to adjust here.

I guess the team has a greater offer from Dallas than other teams he preferred, also he thought he will end up a Brooklyn, because i think that what he wants, at the same time if he expects to be in Brooklyn, that not possible, they have so many shooters and does not need he's service, durant, harden, Irving is also outside threat and he's addition is not really that needed, too bad, still no ring before he's retired.

Dallas vs Boston, a good game to watch.

What do you think about this game, what team will win here?
Celtics playing at home against the Mavericks, and these are all good teams.

Brown will not play, but I guess their roster is still good to give the mavs a good game and win.

DeMarcus Cousins to the Clippers... probably now that the Lakers moved on Drummond, Cousins had to take his best shot at a title. I’m guessing the Nets didn’t want to make him an offer. He was the best big man in the league when he went down with his injury back in his Pelicans days. A shame that happened. He could have been one of the greats.

DeMarcus Cousins  has less impact in a team now, that's because he is prone to injury but with the Warriors, he was able to contribute, if only Thompson was not injured, Warriors has a chance to win a championship and Cousins will get his first.

It was only a 10 day contract?

This deal would be a good opportunity for him to prove that he still can be useful, even if he will sign only a 10-day contract with LAC. Anyway, the Clippers are needed another center player, considering that Ibaka has some health problems, but it looks like the final decision on this deal will be known next week.

Fxxxing Knicks screwed me over yet again losing by 1 vs absolute garbage and missing out to score on the last 3 possessions (and losing a 11 point lead in the 4th).

Get these trash teams out of that league.

I'm also surprised them to loss against the Wolves, they are on a hot streak, suddenly they have lost 2 straight, and this match is winnable. They used to be a good close out team. Same with last time they have a good lead and they suddenly went cold specially in the last quarter.

I'm sorry man, I'm sure others have bet on the Knicks as well (lost one already from their last game) and feeling disappointed as how the game turns out in the closing minutes.

They were outscored only in the fourth quarter.
Bad performance from the Knicks. All they need is to preserve the lead but they got careless at those last minutes of the game.

Another upset is the Raptors losing against the Thunders. Damn, I was rekt at that game. Aron Baynes with 0 points for 21 minutes.

Terrible loss for the knicks.  They were up 12 in the 4th quarter and slowly gave the game away.  Then the last sequence had multiple chances to win.  They needed that game.  :/

What a rough Laker debut from Andre Drummond. He's got right toe injury early in the third quarter and seems he won't comeback to the game.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/uk.sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/andre-drummond-lakers-debut-exits-toe-injury-nba-041746795.html
He also had 3 turn overs 1 reb and 4 points from a 2-6 fg. in 14 mins. of action. What a rough start. However, we'll just see how a healthy Laker is a capable of in the post season.

Per report, he only played 14 minutes, I hope the injury is not serious though, it's not good to see Lakers their big man is down and the big 3 will be out in the game. I hope he will come back soon as this is just a toe issue.

What do you think of this kind of decision guys? I think this is the dumbest thing he could ever do with his NBA career unless he has someone who gonna pay him more to change to another team after the end of his current contract.

Could it be a locker room problem for turning it down?
Something happening backstage that we will not know forever unless Schroder himself will tell it to the media.
Like the Kawhi thing before with Spurs.
This happens when a player feels he doesn't fit in. Even with how large the amount offered could be turned down.
That's the only reason I can think of. It's not a foolish decision when talking long-term.

This kind of issues should be addressed quickly because this is detrimental for players I mean there should have been a revolutionary technology to prevent this kind of sports injury in basketball. Drummond is a really good player and the fact that his toe is the reason that he will be playing for less makes me think of the Achilles heel.

This is bad news indeed, he just made his debut and a lot of expectations from him.

Unfortunately, he went down and they lost. Let's just hope for the best, we wanted to see a healthy Lakers against the best in the East, specially Nets which everyone see right now at the contender for the NBA championship which the Lakers are the defending champs.

Didn't watch the Knicks games, but base on the comments here, it really seems that they have given the game away. They are a strong team, that's why it's so surprising that they melted under the pressure.

They have the most advance technology but no one could predict an injury since this is a contact sport, it's just unfortunate that he was injurd in his debut with the Lakers but I believe that his injury is not a season ending injury.

Yeah.

He has no choice but just to go along with the deal and trade. Maybe his contract does contains a claimer that the management can change it anytime despite the negotiations that has been done to his former contract.

Definitely not the start we wanted to see or would have predicted for Drummond’s next chapter. I’m sure the Lakers management are concerned now that they have 3 star players on the sideline. I hope they get their rest and can come together to close out the season strong going into the playoffs.

That was sudden bad news on the side of the Lakers, I hope he will be back when the time Lebron and Davis are playing together. He is a big addition to them and he would have sufficed their need for a big man in the court. anyway, hope the injury is not serious and he will have a chance to play in the NBA playoffs along with the Los Angeles Lakers star players.

I believe its not serious but fans are just disappointed that they are not gonna see Drummond help the Lakers while Lebron and Davis is out. We have no updated news yet, we will continue to monitor the situation, hopefully nothing really serious when the next update will come out.
