I know I overrate Josh Richardson but I still hate to see him in Boston.
The fact that they gave away Moses Brown for a one year rental makes me hate the trade too.

Sixers are looking for an All-NBA All-Star, years of first round picks and the rights to 1989 Michael Jordan for a guy who's afraid to shoot or dunk. Seems reasonable.

Don't love the money for Caruso, but I like that the Bulls are putting good perimeter defenders around Lavine.

I don't really understand it either. Why not make an offer for Lonzo or Collins? They're restricted free agents, but you can at least tie up your cap sheet for 3 days to avoid the temptation of giving big contracts to average players.

There is no doubt in my mind that Evan Fournier will go 10 for 10 from three and win them a playoff game next year. Problem is he'll go 0 for 10 the next game. I still would have liked to keep him but the Celtics are punting till next off season in hopes of the next white whale.

I'm not sure the Knicks even have the roster to make the playoffs this year. This past year seemed kind of fluky.

Heat's 4 year plan:
Year 1: Win the 5 seed and be the team that podcasts say nobody wants to play in the playoffs. Lose in the second round in 5 games.
Year 2: Win the 6 seed on the last day of the season. Lose in the first round in 7 games.
Year 3: 9 seed, lose in the play-in tourney. That means the lottery so then it must also be true that Miami will have traded this first round pick already.
Year 4: 33-49, no first round pick

As long as the Heat still play in Miami they'll always have a chance. No NBA player ever wants to come to Boston so they can go out at night and hook-up with a chubby 6.

Chris Paul got 4 years and 120?

Is he going to coach the last 2 or are they planning to trade him to the Lakers at the deadline?
