2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

[Phrazbit]

Much more likely that Gordon is actually injured--like much of his career.

Yeah, if he does have a real injury, even if it seems minor, he will likely miss a month. He has that TJ Warren-esque talent of being day to day for a few months.

Before the trade deadline, one always has to wonder when certain players miss games.

This is a really good trade for the Pelicans at first glance.

IMO, the Trail Blazers undervalue their players.

Totally….Portland is selling low right now. Happy for Willie Green and New Orleans. Pelicans might actually be a playoff team if Zion ever decides to get serious about his weight…BI, CJ, Devonte Graham, JV and Zion is a darn good starting lineup.

I don't understand the trades the Trail Blazers are making. Their players have more value. This must be a tight market.

Yeah, that is a horrible deal for Portland. They must want to cut salary badly.

But your right, if the market is this weak it might be good for the suns.

The way it's going I'm looking for spinoff trades and players that fall through the cracks. There will likely be buyout players later.

That’s a nice haul for the Pels.

It's a sweet trade for them. They could make the playoffs

Per ESPN, Sabonis to Kings with some throw-ins... Halliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson to Indy

Maybe Josh Hart gets bought out

Maybe Josh Hart gets bought out

I don't know but that sounds unlikely considering he's got two years remaining but both years come with a team option.

Yeah I didn’t look into his contract.

I don't know what the Trail Blazers are doing other than supposedly trying to reshape around Damian Lillard but I consider Josh Hart to be one of the better pieces Portland received in that trade.
