just means the crazy trade rumors will heat up!
The Daily News has learned that the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers have discussed a blockbuster trade centered around Kevin Love. There were very preliminary discussions with the Knicks about expanding the deal to include Anthony, who would have to waive his no trade clause in order to facilitate a deal to the Cavs.

The Knicks would receive draft picks and players in return. One of those players is believed to be Timofey Mozgov, who five years ago was traded by the Knicks to Denver in the Anthony deal.

I heard Jimmy Butler for Oladipo Vucevic and a first got turned down by the magic. I probably would have done that deal.

So lavine does the same exact dunk Gordon does with a spinning mascot on a hoverboard and he's the one who wins?

That may have been the best dunk contest ever. The dunk that Gordon did by lifting both legs and passing the ball underneath his ass was the craziest dunk I've ever seen :shock:. Lavine going through his legs from (almost) the free throw line was incredible too. My kids stayed up late to watch and they were blown away. Fun viewing, for sure.

At least 20 something years. That was amazing. They really brought it back, possibly better than it ever was last night, they just don't have the star power that the contest once had.

The NBA won last night more than either contestant. An afterthought was must see.

Hopefully this is just typical trader rumor BS but supposedly the Heat and Rockets are working on a deal involving Howard and Whiteside.


I swear if we trade Justise Winslow (which we basically have to do seeing as he's our only asset) .....

Not sure what the Heat would have to gain by trading for Howard. Dude is clearly past his prime.
