The 2017-2018 Around the NBA thread

If Jason Kidd, who couldn't coach his young players in Milwaukee comes to the Suns (and all of its young players), ever gets hired as Suns Head Coach, I will (the little I have left).

Even Sarver couldn't be that ignorant . . . could he?

Totally with you on this one , BC.

Bucks say Malcolm Brogdon is out 6-8 weeks w/ a partially torn left quad.

Not happy to see players injured but that could help the Suns get Milwaukee's pick this year.

No love loss for the Bucks but I feel bad for Brogdan.

There is a possibility it could help the Suns. We shall see.

The Pelicans traded Asik, Tony Allen, and Jameer Nelson to the Bulls for Nikola Mirotic. It's expected they'll waive Nelson and Allen if they can't find trades for them before the deadline. I assume Jameer Nelson will find a playoff team to sign on with but if he doesn't find a suitor perhaps the Suns could get him for the remainder of the year? They need a PG really bad, Booker isn't a PG and he's playing hurt right now anyways. Nelson isn't that bad, he's older now but we'd only need him for 2 months.

I'm happy with Ulis and Gray.

Add a youngster if need be.

Heat loses but the Bucks win.

I'm with you... Jameer could win some games for us. We could have some problems if Jackson and Bender keep playing like they did against the Jazz.

It would be best for Cleveland and Lebron to work out a trade. He's quit on them and the team has quit all together.

I never could understand why a trade was not discussed with Lebron when Irving left the Cavaliers.

Houston blows out the Cavs tonight. No fight in the Cavs at all

If Lebron should get traded by the trade deadline, I want the Suns to help facilitate the trade... if possible.

The Suns may wish they had that Monroe contract back.

He has a no trade clause

If Lebron is unhappy, I'm sure he will waive it to go to a preferred team.

He may want the Cavaliers to come up with the idea if they haven't already.

It makes no sense for Lebron to waste a year of his career if they are not going back to the Finals.

I don't know who'd have the expirings the match up. Maybe the Lakers with Brook Lopez but the Cavs would need Ingram and Lonzo coming back otherwise what's the incentive for Cleveland?

Houston could offer CP3 then they'd have Lebron's bird rights but there's nothing else attractive on that roster and the picks will be too high.

I agree the Cavaliers would want something attractive in return. No reason to do it otherwise.

To get Lebron your going to have to give up your "stars" and Lebron isn't going to go to s team that's not stacked that's not what he does. He has no interest in trying to start over

 

[Finito]

"Cavs should be taken off national TV for the rest of the year"- Lebron James

With that blowout to Houston Cavs are now 0-8 on nationally televised games

He’s going to Houston, surely.

Word is that Marcus Smart is on the block. Wishing that McD and Ainge hatched a plan. We cut Moose and they sign him with the Hayward exception, then they trade Smart to us for cheap. I don't think Smart is our long term answer, but having a lockdown defensive guard, even off the bench, is valuable and fills a hole for this team.

I'd love to give him a shot at full time PG for the next two months. See how his playmaking ability and defense meshes with Booker. I just think it will take more than a 2nd rounder.

Pacers announce that Darren Collison will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee tomorrow. He's expected to return in 2-3 weeks.

The Nets trade Zeller to the Bucks for a second round pick and Rashad Vaughn. Uncertain of the impact but I hope the Nets do not get worse.

Dan Gilbert is an idiot, as if that wasn't already clear. Apparently he "doesn't care" if Lebron leaves again because they already won a title.

There's more in this link, a few tweets and an ESPN article which I'll link directly below.

I know the chances are slim but I wonder if they'd actually be open to trading him before the deadline, they have 2 days.

Wow. We should trade them for any future Cavs picks we could pry loose.
