How's this for an idea?

Utah gets a PG (Bledsoe) and LAC gets a big (Milsap or Jefferson and/or Kanter). Would need to add Butler/Odom + to make numbers work.

Can anyone explain how Bledsoe would fit into the Celtics long term seeing how Rondo and Bradley is their future starting back court?

soybean · 02-04-2013, 04:56 PM

Not sure how much the Pacers value Roy Hibbert but I would like to see a Bledsoe-Butler-Jordan for Granger-Hibbert trade.

Hibbert is two years older than Jordan, Pacers don't need Granger and need a point guard.

Both teams can compete right now with that trade I think.

no but with KG's ntc there may be limited options for Boston to choose from

KG lives in L.A. during the off-season so it would make sense the Clippers may be someone he would go to.

KG is also really close with Billups. I feel like if the Celts can get good return for Pierce and/or KG they will take it, but they won't just dump them for the sake of it. If nothing materializes I can just see them trying to play it out with the current roster.

The Pistons are really bad.

soybean · 02-04-2013, 07:47 PM

Deandre has 19 rebounds after 3 quarters because Blake's out.

I bet that was a blast. :P Teams combined for an amazing 4 for 32 from 3-pt land.

Back to backs vs the Kings and Pistons are just glorious.

bigbluedefense · 02-04-2013, 08:51 PM

We should play those 2 teams every game.

soybean · 02-04-2013, 08:57 PM

Lebron was 13-14 from the field... jesus. I guess MKG being out helps but still. goddamn

draftguru151 · 02-04-2013, 09:06 PM

His miss was a foul from 1 foot out that wasn't called too.

There have been six instances this season of an NBA player putting up at least 31, 8 and 8. LeBron has five of them. (Westbrook the other.)

LeBron's 13 field goals tonight came from a combined distance of 41 feet.

None of them were outside of 15 feet.

Detroit lost to the Knicks? Man, if only they had a center who could do better than 2 points on 1 of 6 shooting...

Brodeur · 02-04-2013, 09:35 PM

Keep pretending your prima donna center is more of an asset than Drummond.

yo123 · 02-04-2013, 11:11 PM

I really want KD to get an MVP one of these years but in my heart I know that as long as Lebron stays at this level giving it to anyone else is just stupid.

Keep pretending your stilt of a center is an asset at all.

Okay. Every person in this thread, who would you take for the future: Drummond or Cousins?

yo123 · 02-04-2013, 11:15 PM

Drummond, but you really need to start to get better at realizing when you're being trolled.

I mean I agree with you.. but KD is more valuable to his team than Lebron is, Russ still good but I figure they drop about 4-5 seeds just without Durant.. Heat probably drop somewhere close to that but would have a little more talent.

The Heat would drop less, but most likely because they are in the East. Hell the Bulls have been playing without a starter all year, sometimes two or more, and still are the 4th seed.

Bearsfan123 · 02-05-2013, 09:16 AM

Some players that might come out the Bulls could target: CJ Wilcox SG, Tim Hardaway Jr SG, Kentavious Caldwell Pope SG, Jeff Withey C. Sadly, there arent many decent PF/C prospects that look to be coming out that will be there at the end of the first round.

Well the Bulls are a model franchise and a model team.. so yeahh..they learned how to do it early and now its like they are the team nobody wants to play regardless of whos out.

Agreed.

Though it's rather worrisome when your team performed better when you best player was out.... :/

thenewfeature06 · 02-05-2013, 10:13 AM

Oh for sure, alot of these teams don't put it together good enough.. the players are here because they can play besides Hasheem Thabeet.. but nowadays its like ok iso 40% of the game for your best player when in reality if these teams would play together more, the league would be better.
