Again from windhorst

Atlanta had multiple offers for bellinelli that were contingent on Tyreke. Philadelphia had offers for both with bellinelli being the fallback . Memphis was fielding calls up until the deadline telling teams they were about to pull the trigger.

Lmao.

Chris Wallace may be the worst GM in the league

Yes. gently caress Vince Carter and bring Belinelli home, imo.

Ok so if they want to resign him :
1. They are way over the cap
2. They don't have his bird rights
3. They best they can do is the non taxpayer mid level
4. They can be outbid by a lot

I stand by what I said. Memphis ownership is weird and quietly dysfunctional.

God knows how much real power Pera has anymore, but he is exactly the type of guy who would hang on to assets and not rebuild.

I know you're talking about Tyreke, but I'm referring to that and the Gasol stuff that's come in out in the last two days.

Their ownership situation is super super weird right now. Kaplan and Straus enacted their buy clause and Pera maybe/probably can buy them out because the economy has buoyed his company. But now the stock market is crashing and who the gently caress knows.

I'm not discounting incompetence on the part of Wallace, but I think it's a bit more complicated.

As far as the Tyreke thing goes, they benched him for a week and told him he'd be traded, so it sure points to a GM being completely stubborn/unrealistic about the market versus an owner wanting to hang onto pieces. I've heard the ownership is a total mess though, you're right about that

Is he still considered a good defender? Because that's a nice pickup for them if so.


I'd be completely fine with the Rockets winning the title this year, if it can't be the Raptors (it almost assuredly won't be)

if nothing else he seems better than tarik black and gives houston some cover if capela or nene have any injury issues (which is fairly likely, in Nene's case)

I was gonna say Tarik Black seemed to have fallen out of rotation but he just dunked the ball, maybe I'm not paying enough attention.

Better use of a roster spot than Bobby Buckets anyway.

ooo thank you for the question

1 not as poorly as D'Angelo is taking to probably being third behind Dinwiddie then Lin ha ha

2 Brooklyn and Philadelphia are currently warring for the United States' Smarkest Crowd Title, either is liable to watch a flick, illin' and root for the villian, huh, cheer for the bad guy and refuse to support a Good Guy if he's bland as sand. Lin Only fans are like Tim Tebow fans and I don't think they're a huge part of a Barclay's Center crowd, who are mostly excited about Obvious Superstar Jarrett Allen

3 apparently Cavs offered Brooklyn a first for Dinwiddie before the deadline lol

D'Angelo was great early in the season but he got injured mid-november and couldn't play again until mid january and he clearly hasn't got his feet back yet, while Dinwiddie's just way too good. Russell can't hit anything his past few games and his defense has been bad but he's still doing stuff like this:
