CP3 will turn down option while seeking 100 mil. multi year deal...

[HoosierDaddyKid]

It's not about disparaging Young. He's a great player. It's about dragging Hawks fans who are still so insecure about passing on Luka that they insist on trying to justify the deal at every opportunity. While Luka fans compare 77 to Lebron, Bird, and Jordan, Trae fans incessantly compare their guy to... Luka. The pain from that trade must have cut really deep to still be dealing with those scars.

See, I didn't know Hawk fans felt that way, I'm not on any of their media sites. As I said, I didn't see it at first, but that trade worked out for both teams. Now Dallas has to put young talent around Luka as Atlanta did. Dallas is not a finished product. Luka can't keep bailing them out. They only had 2 guys in double figures and still won. That's unheard of.

I have an extremely hard time believing the Heat think Herro is a core player. Sure he's solid. A core piece? Not too sure about that.

Sounds like Riley is just building his value up for an offseason trade.

Not saying Michael Porter Jr. is bad at defense, but at halftime he's scored 26 points and his +/- is -14.

Last offseason, YES. Right now, I'm with you. He's probably fairly available. He regressed significantly this season.

[HanspardsShowerVoice]

Herro definitely regressed, but he's still on his rookie contract only making $3.8 million.    The only way the Heat are moving him is for a trade chip for a star.   They can't even get a bad vet player on the market for  to replace him at that salary.

Oh, totally. He's definitely still valued there. But after the bubble, he was like their Roddy B. They thought he was about to become an all star. This season didn't play out that way, obvs. But yeah, they're probably not trying to give him away.

Please Mavs, win on Friday so he has less time to rest that injury!!!

Damn, how good has Austin Rivers been for Denver?  Dude was sitting on the couch eating Bon-Bons. Denver advances behind the Jokers 36 pts 126-115.

That´s it for the Blazers. Will be interesting to see if they finally decide to move on from the McCollum/Lillard pairing or run it back with minor changes again.
In my opinion they have peaked (WCFs in 2019). Lillard is great but not a top 5 player. McCollum is a good 2nd option but not a great fit next to Lillard. Two small guards with mediocre defense sharing the floor. Supporting cast is solid but not good enough to for a deep playoff run and they don´t have the assets to upgrade the roster.

[HAguiar95]

Wacthing Gordon and RoCo play makes me sick. Such perfect fits here. 3&D forwards are very hard to find.

[Kammrath]

Another desperate team who might take a shot on KP.

Jae Crowder is on fire so far tonight.

[dirkfansince1998]

Schroder declined a 4/84m extension. The way he played in the last couple of weeks he can be happy to get half of that on the free agent market.

[KillerLeft]

Davis down already. Lakers aren't getting past the first round. Bananas.

AD and CP3 hurting
