2024 NBA Season

[akirasendo17]

Denver got Howard and McGee, Miami got Bijelica, Boston got Fournier. Chicago for Vucevič. 1 hour 20 minutes to go. Now things will got really busy. Markkanen, Lowry, ...

Looks like Denver got Aaron Gordon too. One of the bigger prizes on the block. Woj said that the NY Knicks are finalizing a deal to get Lonzo Ball and the Lakers are making a last minute effort to get Kyle Lowry from the Raptors. Usually takes some time for the dust to settle and deals to finalize even after the deadline hits, so we could be in for a little more news yet.

Teams are really making moves before trade deadlines still waiting for the biggest trade, hoping the lakers will make a move, and get another star player, they need to match the nets, or it will be over even though it's not starting, also there is a threat in the west with the jazz proving this year that they are a contender.

It looks like the Heat is also trying to get Lowry, not just the Lakers, and I agree with you that we can expect an announcement about the deal with Lowry in the last minutes before the deadline. By the way, the Raptors already have traded Powell to the Blazers.

What a pain watching the game of Nets vs. Utah Jazz. The starting five for Nets wasn't that even strong to face the first 5 of Jazz.  
I guess that the Nets, they'll try to win the next game against the Pistons.

Wasn't able to watch the game, but I was checking the score during the first quarter and I said to myself that there's no way that the Jazz are going to lose this one, going to be a massacre.

Yes, they can move on and try to win against the Pistons to go back to the win column again, the question is whether Harden can play or not.

I guess I'm expecting too much from them and start to become neutral whenever they have matches. And also, there's handicap that some of them didn't play along with.
Yeah, moving and looking forward to the next match that they'll have on against Pistons.

IMO, it's not a good idea because that is in exchange of Garry Trent Jr. which is doing pretty well this season and the last season as well.

Hopefully the Blazers will not regret this trade.

What can you say about this deal? NBA trade deadline grades: Clippers pick up Rajon Rondo from Hawks for Lou Williams, per report.

Never thought that Rondo will land on the another Los Angeles team, last year he was helping Lakers to win their championship with Lebron. Now he is on the Clippers side now, I think the obvious winner here is Clippers are Rondo has the experience and they really need a good point guard to rotate the ball and help distribute it.

Reports are saying that Lowry will stay with Toronto.

With his increasing stats.

I guess he is a steal and it's just worth acquiring him as he can certainly help the Blazers, he is a great 3 point shooter as well and the best thing is he was a champion, and that's big already for a roster that no experience in championship game.

let's just see but I believe Powell with be effective with the Blazers.

I agree this was a good pickup for the Clippers.  If they do go head to head with the Lakers, Rondo's experience there should help them in predicting offensive sets and knowing what bothers the players from the defensive end. 

I keep reading that the Lakers aren't willing to part with THT to get Lowry.  They must have high expectations for that kid, because from the LeBron "win now" perspective it would seem like adding Lowry over THT would be the way to go.

Rondo is underrated, at least Clippers understand that by getting him for one of their best players.

I like Rondo's presence in the floor and he deserve a team that has a chance to be in the NBA Finals, so I'm guessing that Rondo will have a back to back championship here.. imagine that?

[OgNasty]

I think Miami and Denver are the big winners of this deadline. Miami picking up Victor Oladipo might be the best trade of the day, but I think Aaron Gordon might end up being the biggest prize. It looks like the Lakers and Nets playoff runs just got a little more difficult. A bit disappointing that not more big men moved. I was expecting the Lakers to do something big.

Well, I think Rondo was a good addition for the Clippers too but I've probably prefer Lou not to be traded but let's see if he can still bring some of those works he has done like what he did on the Lakers.

Beal, Lowry, Aldridge, Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond, Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball and Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins were among the prominent names who were not traded. Aldridge and Drummond both appear poised for buyouts.

These names got the huge rumors recently yet it goes quiet, seems odd.

Yes, he is underrated, maybe they forget that Rondo has rings with Boston too.

So this is a good addition for the Clippers, they are looking for a real point guard, Lou Williams is not.

I don't know, but THT is good and maybe that's why the Lakers doesn't want to let go of him instead of getting Kyle Lowry. THT is just 20 years old, Lakers for sure are looking to developed this young talent. 35 year Lowry vs 20 year THT, easy pick for the LA.

The rumor is that Drummond will go the Lakers, multiple sources has reported it already. Maybe they are just finalizing the deal that's why it's quiet.

As for Rondo, yeah, I agree that the Clippers has increase their chances in West with adding Rondo in their line-up. Now we can say that their starting 5 looks pretty solid.

[danherbias07]

Sad to let Gary Harris go for Aaron Gordon but that's just NBA.
Chemistry out for a better rebuilding roster. Nuggets is aiming for a championship now.

Rondo for Lou? That's some intriguing trade there.
They say Clippers badly need a pointguard. I hope Rondo will fit in.
Lou Williams though is a good addition for the Hawks. Now, their offense won't stop even with the 2nd team.

Look what's Clippers roster right now https://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/lac/la-clippers I think that's just some chemistry in its best and they got a good spread too on positions. Well, look at their point guards right now, just wow, reserves at it's best I suppose.

rondo landed by the clippers is I think one of the best move of the front office, clippers need a playmaker so that Leonard and George can do their thing, they don't have an experience point guard, with championship experience, so rondo will open a lot of opportunities for the clippers to score, passing penetration, it's very important for a team to have a point guard.

[Bttzed03]

You have to wonder why the raptors held on to Lowry. I don't know but they are probably asking too much in their trade package for a 35-year old guard. It's their loss. The man will become an unrestricted free agent when the season ends and they are not even sure if he will accept any of their offers for a new contract. They could also end up paying more to get him back.

[Reid]

LaMarcus Aldridge - Bought out by Spurs - Free Agent

Kyle Lowry - remained a Raptor. (Summer free agent)

James Johnson and Wesley Iwundu (Mavs) traded for JJ Redick and Nicolo Mell (Pelicans). Now Mavs has a veteran and also a sharpshooter.

Norman Powell (Raptors) traded for Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood (Trail Blazers)

3 team deal:
76ers acquired George Hill and Iggy Brazdeikis
Thunders acquired Austin Rivers and Tony Bradley
Knicks acquired Terrance Ferguson, Emir Preldzic, and Vincent Poirier

Bulls acquired Vucevic and Aminu in exchange for Otto Porter, Wendell Carter, and 2 first-round picks.
Celtics also acquired Fournier from Magic in exchange for a couple of 2nd round picks.

Magic is rebuilding trading both their offensive players.

Now their stars could facilitate their stats by the help of true point guard in the presence of rondo and imagine how strong they are for sure their opponents are now thinking on how they can find a weakness on the current line up of clippers.

Lets just see if rondo could adjust the system in clippers since if he can easily fit in the team I believe they are now a championship contender.

We know how good Lou is when he is in the Clippers. A candidate for Six man of the year and he is giving huge numbers every game but year after year, his performance declined especially when PG13 and Kawhi joined the team. Now they got Rondo which is we know a good playmaker. He really will fit in the Clippers and seeing their current roster, I think that he will be their starting point guard if not Jackson.

Lou/Trae duo?? What do you think with them? Will they be a good duo or I should say that they can led the team . Lets see in their next games but I think that this can be a good duo. I just hope that both Rondo and Lou can adjust to their respective teams as soon as possible .

Anyone sees the 76ers vs Lakers game?

Did you like what Howard was doing? lol.. he will never grow old, he wants to make fight in the court to anyone, 76ers are lucky to have him as they have someone who can bring some important energy on the floor.

Howard and Green also received their championship ring, congrats to them and congrats to the win.
Lakers on 3 losing streak now.
