2024 NBA Season

[Theb]

Anymore trades which have materialized since it is near the trade deadline?
I think the most noteworthy one was the Tobias Harris trade to the sixers.
But I think there will be more teams trying to offload their injured players so to lessen their teams salary cap.
Just like the knicks did with porzingis.

Probably one of the most notable trade that happened is the Bulls-Wizards trade. The Washington Wizard receives Jabari Parker, Bobby Portis, and a 2nd round pick in exchange for Otto Porter. Wizards made this move because they might be tanking this season when John Wall got a season ending injury so it makes sense to them giving away Otto Porter. Bulls clearly won this trade as they got away with Porter while offloading Jabari Parker which is already unwanted in the team.

NBA trade deadline: Lakers acquire Mike Muscala from Clippers for Michael Beasley, Ivica Zubac - http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/nba-trade-deadline-lakers-mike-muscala-clippers-michael-beasley-ivica-zubac-carmelo-anthony/138aq4u10mrg7133gezadpk9ov

Report: Raptors trade Valanciunas, Wright, Miles and pick for Marc Gasol - https://www.raptorshq.com/2019/2/7/18215786/nba-trade-deadline-2019-toronto-raptors-marc-gasol-trade

That's the two notable picks I've seen so far and there could be more. Of course all eyes in on the AD drama, so let's see how it goes.

[kenzawak]

It looks like Nikola Mirotic is leaving the Pelicans too and joining the Bucks.
He has scored 16.7 ppg in 32 games this season.
NO gets Jason Smith, Stanley Johnson and four 2nd round drafts picks.

[Indamuck]

If I was running the Lakers I would trade draft picks and the young players now toget better pieces around Lebron.  You only have a few more years of prime Lebron play until it's too late.  Will Anthony Davis be enough to beat the warriors?  Maybe not but its worth taking a chance.

Its cool to see D-wade and Dirk get in the all star game but I feel like they are stealing spots from more deserving players this year.

[harizen]

Why others pointing LeBron is kind of manipulating the trades and even the coaching staffs lol. If Im wrong here then linked me to an official link where it was stated and not just a Speculation.

Do people really think that the Lakers GM, President, staffs or so on doesn't like Anthony Davis? Just think of it, they are willing to sacrifice their young cores just because of it. They want to take advantage of AD while LeBron is with them. Lakers wants Davis and not LeBron wants AD.

They can rebuild anytime they want if the chances they have taken will not be success. 5 years in the making and they have to do it now. The Lakers whole operational team can't be just influenced by LeBron. Lakers is a big organization with lots of championships already. No way LeBron can just demand what he wants easily.

Anyways, Davis to Lakers trade is fail, at least on today's deadline and will continue the talks off season. At last this drama come to an end. This should be enough for Lakers to get back on shape.

Those are some trades I have never heard of and must be last minute decisions. I cant see the report being solid though.
Zubac is an outstanding player and was getting into his own streak about a month ago before lonzo got injured.
Wow about the raptors. They are cleaning house first with Demar Derozan who was an all star and now Valanciunas?
People are saying Kawhi Leonard is going to sign with another team come the off season.

NBA trade deadline: Lakers acquire Mike Muscala from Clippers for Michael Beasley, Ivica Zubac

What? Then who will be left for Lakers now? (excepet for Lebron of course). Okay, just assuming that they get Muscala and AD then who will be the other two to build a strong first five? I haven't see any player in their tram with great potentials so far, I think of Zubac but unfortunately it is now involved in the trade .

Report: Raptors trade Valanciunas, Wright, Miles and pick for Marc Gasol

Why? Does Valanciunas is not doing great for his team? For me he does. But well, Marc Gasol is a better center so I don't blame them for trading him, just hoping that the chemistry between each players matched.

This one is bad for the Lakers, Zubac  showed his potential and he made some games to their favor when he is playing, his envergy
on the floor is very impressive but it's their decision, let's wait for their next move.

First trade is a bad move for the Lakers.

This is just a fair move and I think since Valanciunas is recovering from injury, they might already foreseen that things will never be the same again in the future. March Gasol on the other hand is a complete big man, complete in the sense that he can shoot well (even in 3s), and once a defensive player of the year.

March Gasol is surely a boost to the team, they'll defense will be better now.

Yeah! I'm worrying a little bit for the possible outcome of Lakers' decisions. I sense that instead of having a stronger team their team will get even worse prior to this trading. For me it was so impractical to trade almost all of your good players just for an underrated all star and another player.

Right, at least this drama has ended and hope that the Lakers specially those names that pop up during the supposedly trade with Davis settled down on their grove and start to play normally again. I speculate that they have been affected mentality which shows the big lost against Pacers a couple of nights ago.

[Kasabus]

After a sloppy showing against the Pacers, The Lakers has finally redeemed themselves.
Winning on the road is difficult especially against the favorite team in the East, I think Lebron still has instill fear to Boston
as when he was playing with the Cavaliers, they can dominate this team easily, and now with his young teammates, he did it again.

Lebron got his triple double in this game with 28 points and 12 rebounds and assist apiece.

Yes, finally.
Rondo, Rondo, Rondo. He did the clutch shot without hesitating and got it in for the win. They said Rondo was also leading the team in practice game after the 42 points loss from Pacers. He gave them some energy.

But going back it was Kuzma who did the 3 point shot which is the game changer for the Lakers to get that win.

Lebron though. Watched him at 2nd quarter and it is like 6 plays which he did perfectly. The great assist and those Curryland shots which are really far.

Celtics got so careless. They have given the Lakers a lot of openings which was grabbed by Lakers as an opportunity for runs. 17 was the largest lead at 2nd quarter but the composure of Lakers was intact.

This sentiments will end for this season and they need to play with good shape to have a good place for the playoffs the team needs more winnings, this is just a good sign for this group defeating celtics as they are bringing some interest back from that last lost, after this trade drama every players are now
entitled to play according to their received salaries and not just to display their names inside the court.

Lebron and Rondo way back from Heats boston rivalry, they are both leaders in terms of lust for winnings.

We saw how game will end up if Rondo is manning the game.
He needs to be play as a real point guard and Lebron needs to adjust his game, with proper ball movement, they can make a good shot selection
and it will result to a better play. Rondo  is an underrated player, he has been into championships and was a champion already, that proves he is really good and his achievement was during his young age.

Amen to this. Rondo has always been an allstar caliber player, he smart, he reacts quickly in a situation effectively. Yet, I guess Rondo cant play his full potential since Lebron is also a player who sets up a play for his teammates, but one thing I saw in Rondo's game which I think is the smartest adjustment he did is to improve his shooting percentage and range.

He should focus on that also, he is gifted with a good vision within the court, good in defense and rebounding for his position but he needs to work
on his weak side, which is the shooting consistency. If all the starters of the Lakers are a threat outside, they'll be hard to beat as they have length
and their roster is full of young players so energy wise, they have an edge.

In short, versatility would always matter and making adjustments depending on the situation would be always a crucial thing. No one would really oppose
on how good Rondi is. He do have the skills and i agree that he need to harness his shooting consistency not only on his own but also on other members as well.

It was an exciting game between the two rivals. Rondo was really playing the all-star caliber he should be. He was at the right place at the right time. Boston did play good defence on James in the dying seconds and they're fortunate that the ball bounce to Rondo and hit it on time. Yes, he did improve his shooting in his game, hitting clutch 3's and that winning shot.

[Indamuck]

That Lakers-Celtics game was amazing and props to Rondo for making that game winning shot against his old team.  Maybe this will help the chemistry issues for the Lakers since the trade deadline has already pass.  Some players on the team will probably still hold resentment towards Lebron since he tried to get them traded.
