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.

The game was close.

I have no comments with Howard. The game was done and it's just another sad day for the Lakers while Howard, Green and the Phila gang got a good game and day.

Have you seen the video? if not, you should watch the replay on how Howard pissed Harrell but he still ended up getting ejected due to 2 technical fouls. It's just fun to watch him destroying other players rhythm , his role with the Lakers before was brought against the Lakers. lol

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.

Yes, that's the issue. They cannot find a good trade because they are assuming they will get the better hand in exchange for Lowry.
No, they won't be taking him back next year, I am sure of that.
It will release a good cap space for someone else in the free agency.
Lowry might be the one who will have problems dealing for a new contract with other teams.
What he must do now is showcase why he should be signed by another management after his free agency.

It won't be nice at age 35 to have a veteran contract before his retirement.

With Rondo traded with the Clippers, what do you think will be the Clippers chances this season?

is it a good decision to trade Willams for Rondo?

Williams is a good 6th man, he can generate points for the team if needed but Rondo is more on managing the play.
Which one is more useful for the team?

With Rondo traded with the Clippers, what do you think will be the Clippers chances this season?

Rondo from his experienced he can bring additional energy as he can create spaces and good game play to his teammates.

is it a good decision to trade Willams for Rondo?

Seems that Williams is not blending well with PG and Kawhai, Clippers needs game maker and Rondo is one of those quality
player who can provide this role.

They already have PG and Kawhai who can fill the scoring part, Rondo if blended right he can fill this empty space.

Perhaps the two, Howard and Green are just rubbing it in to the Lakers, they let both of them, and they are the one specially Green who lead Sixers to their victory.

I think why Lowry was not traded for the Lakers is that Toronto is asking too much, THT, Harrell and Dennis Schröder. I think Raptors is asking too much.

They are in the position to ask these players because Lowry is their star player hence, valuable. Eventually a trade will be successful, Lakers can't let go of this 3 as they are contributing so well for the Lakers, especially Schröder and Harrell who is leading the scoring while Lebron is resting.

Lakers understand the value of their assets, they'll not going to any deal that they won't gain any compensation. If Raptors are asking for this two players for getting Lowry which is no longer at his prime.

Lowry might add good offensive stuff but they don't need it that much once LeBron and AD are there to work for them, maybe that's why the deal didn't materialize.

Raptors will keep him till summer and have his free agency, let see if who will sign him up after this season.

I'm afraid Lowry will not be effective in the Lakers, he is a born point guard and we know who is playing the point guard with the Lakers. Lowly deserve to be in a team that could help him utilize his talent and for sure that is not the Lakers, sorry but I'm not happy it the trade could have happen.

With Rondo traded with the Clippers, what do you think will be the Clippers chances this season?

Rondo from his experienced he can bring additional energy as he can create spaces and good game play to his teammates.

He is a 2 time champion, what more can you expect?
Clippers has a legit chance of beating the Lakers or anyone who will reach in the NBA Finals with Rondo, so I'm hoping he will stay healthy/
I'm already expecting a good ball movement with him manning the floor.

is it a good decision to trade Willams for Rondo?

Seems that Williams is not blending well with PG and Kawhai, Clippers needs game maker and Rondo is one of those quality
player who can provide this role.

Because they area all scorer, they don't have a legit PG that is on a star level, Rondo is the answer to that.

Williams is a good 6th man, he can generate points for the team if needed but Rondo is more on managing the play.
Which one is more useful for the team?

They already have PG and Kawhai who can fill the scoring part, Rondo if blended right he can fill this empty space.

I expect that too.

That would be a shame for Lakers if they are wanting to acquire Lowry and they will not give them a role to help the team in winning. Lebron might be playing the PG but they could change their game plan once another star player will join the team, but its Raptors just ask too much and Lakers are not stupid to gamble Lowry which is not anymore getting any younger.

Bulls acquired Vucevic and Aminu in exchange for Otto Porter, Wendell Carter, and 2 first-round picks.

I saw this news today and I wish to see the improvement after this trade. Bulls isn't strong as this season started and would like to see them go up in the rankings since this trade has been done.

[mezzaluna]

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.

I believe that the only winner here is the Bulls because they are getting Vucecic, yes he is an two time all star and still putting up great stats. He can be very consistent when given a load of playing time and would really fit well with the Bulls current starters. Lavine would really get help with those drives specially seeing Vucevic would set the pick and rolls.

Sixers acquiring Hill was also a great move because having a champion on a team can really boost morale and sharing his knowledge with young ones is very special when we are seeing 76ers as a contender for the chip.

I think this is a good place for him to retire, Lou will not play too hard anymore, he knows he has zero ring chance now, he had that with clippers but no longer. Rondo is a multiple time champion and he has the chance to actually play great on playoffs, playoff rondo is a thing people joke about, I believe clippers made the right choice by acquiring him.

I am not saying Lou was a bad player, but during playoffs you need someone who can go another level and bring you success, last year they were terrible to lose a 7 game series when they could win, and that is why I think it was obvious for Clippers to change some things, they lost Harrel to their biggest rivals as well, so they might as well get some in return, even if it was via Atlanta. I believe this turned out to be a great trade for them, Hawks will not be gaining much from this for sure.

Howard will never go down without a fight because he still wants to prove himself on the court. He said that in an interview that when he was on Lakers, he really worked hard to like be able to play with high end players like AD and LeBron, seeing those two was like something sparked within Howard so he is still improving himself up to now even though his prime was years before. He wants to be a player who can provide great efficiency within the paint because some big mans are really dominant.

I've seen it mate.

That utterly destroyed Harrell's momentum for that dunk but I have no comments as said because he's known for that.

I hope that next time he'll be cooler and chiller when the court gets hotter when he's in and pissing off a player.

Guys, I'm a little bit out of what's going on in the NBA.

Does anyone know if Andre Drummond will actually go to the Lakers? And will LaMarcus Aldridge go to the Heat? What are the possibilities for this to happen?

If Drummond plays for the Lakers, can they be so competitive to beat the Nets?

Drummond was just bought out by the Cavs and is now a free agent. He could sign with the Lakers anytime now, and I expect we’ll hear something in the next few days if not later today. The likely landing place is with the Lakers, but there are other suitors involved, including the Nets.

Did the Nets still have that cap to offer for Drummond? Oh wow imagine if they'll able to land him instead of going / moving to Lakers
that's really a very big addition literally to the team.

We never know what will happened until there's no confirmation between those teams who shows interest to sign him, but for sure
it's a good decision for him whichever team he pick and play as both are contenders for the title.

I think Drummond is more useful than Lowry in the Lakers roster, they need a big man like him, hopefully they can sign him soon but the trade deadline is over I guess, and I don't know how they'll be able to sign him but hopefully they can acquire him, if not this season, then next season.
