Id be surprised if the sixers don't sign Lebron next year.

Thunder are scary good when they’re firing on all cylinders. Top 4 Western teams are offensive juggernauts.

[Spencer 555]

I think both conferences are settling in nicely after all the crazy trading.

The east somehow looks like it may be on the upswing despite losing all of it's best players.

I think this year, more then any in a little while, we have more then a few contenders.

In the end, Houston and the warriors are probably the favourites in the west and I think cleveland has to still be the favourite in the east, but its more interesting this year because it doesnt feel like an inevitability. Teams like the raptors, nuggets and spurs are playing fantastic team basketball. OKC, Minny and Washington have the superstars to pull off an upset. Milwaukee and Philly have the young guns. And the door is finally open for the knicks/lakers to make it in as the 8th seed.

Forgot to mention the celtics in that first group with the raps and spurs lol. Shows how much I hate the celts

[Spencer 555]

Raps get:

Marc Gasol
Thad Young

Griz get:

Valanciunas
Al Jefferson
1st round pick from raptors

Pacers get:

Serge Ibaka
Jakob Poeltl

Raps depth chart:

Lowry, Delon, Vanvleet
Derozan, Norm
OG, Miles
Young, Siakam, Caboclo
Gasol, Bebe

The dream team :'(

[|AFO|]

Last two games with Wall out, Wizards bench have exploded with huge production. Hopefully Brooks will finally realize that he needs to increase the size of his rotation, not decrease it. Hopefully Wall and Beal also realize that they need to stop dribbling the ball 8+ times and start moving it more. Honestly think Porter is a better clutch player than Wall and Beal. He's never rattled.

[Spencer 555]

Ya porter is unreal. Hard not to let beal be the guy in the clutch though because hes a tough shot maker.

[Spencer 555]

Absolutely insane trade scenario aka what I do with my spare time:

Raps get:

Thad Young
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Alexis Ajinca
Kosta Koufos
Pelicans 1st
Pacers 2 second rounders

Pelicans get:

Demar Derozan

Pacers get:

Demarcus Cousins
Garrett Temple

Kings get:

Jonas Valanciunas
Lance Stephenson
TJ Leaf
Lucas Nogueira

Breakdown:

So this works for the raptors because we free up a ton of cap space and put some faith in our depth. This gives us a ton of financial wiggle room moving into the future, gives us a more balanced roster, while aquiring a couple picks.

Raptors depth chart:

PG: Lowry, Wright, Vanvleet
SG: Powell, Bogdanovic
SF: Anunoby, Miles
PF: Young, Siakam
C: Ibaka, Poeltl, Koufos

For the Pelicans, this works because they can go all in on a Derozan/Davis/Holliday big three moving forward while also getting rid of a bad contract in Ajinca while only giving up a year of cousins (knowing he wouldn't sign) and a first round pick

Pelicans rotation:

PG: Holliday, Rondo, Nelson
SG: Derozan, Moore, Allen
SF: Cunningham, Miller
PF: Hill, Diallo
C: Davis, Asik

For the Pacers, this works because they get to roll the dice on Cousins, and Aquire a solid veteran sg/sf on a good contract for only 2 2nd round picks, thad young and TJ leaf essentially. If cousins resigns with the pacers and mixes well with the team, itd be worth in bunches and if he doesnt, Indiana will have a ton of cap room to maneuver.

Pacers depth chart:

PG: Collison, Joseph, Young
SG: Oladipo, Temple, Wilkins
SF: Bogdanovic, Robinson 3
PF: Turner, Sabonis
C: Cousins, Jefferson

For the kings this works, because they aquire Jonas Valanciunas and TJ leaf and Lucas Nogeuira for Temple and Bogdanovic while liberating themselves of the Kosta Koufos contract. Lance Stephenson is also a king so that would be cool.

Kings depth chart:

PG: Hill, Fox
SG: Hield, Stephenson, Richardson
SF: Jackson, Carter
PF: Labissiere, Leaf
C: Cauley-Stein, Randolph, Nogueira
