It is 2015 and Derrick Rose is still playing basketball.

And it doesn't really matter because he's like the third-best guy on the Bulls.

Pau Gasol starting in the All - Star game would be the best thing after all the poo poo he had to go through in LA.

The cool thing is Dwight cited this as one of his reasons for picking Houston was Chinese fans and but the move actually cost him a lot of those fans, because they are rabidly pro-Kobe, and this somehow bled over to Harden as well (there is "it's Jame's Harden's fault Jeremy Lin isn't good" chat I remember from LFOs but Kobe doesn't seem to be getting penalized for that so Dwight bleedover is what I'm saying is the cause here).

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been granted a disabled player exception valued at almost $5 million in the wake of Anderson Varejao's season-ending Achilles injury, ESPN.com has learned.
....
It should be noted, though, that Cleveland has already been scouring the trade market with a similar trade exception valued at $5.3 million, which it created in late September by trading veteran guard Keith Bogans to Philadelphia in a three-team swap.

The Cavs have been pursuing a number of centers dating back to the summer -- including Denver's Timofey Mozgov, Memphis' Kosta Koufos and the Los Angeles Lakers' Robert Sacre -- but have yet to find a palatable deal.

The Cavs are pursing Robert Sacre? The Lakers are in a position where trading just for a cap exemption is useless to them but like the Lakers would probably give him up for a second.

Without Rondo:

Josh Smith is shooting the shots he should shoot in Houston, which proves he's a huge rear end in a top hat. I hope he slips on a banana peel.

8 games. 3, maybe 4, should be winnable without Lebron.

Just be happy he isn't sabotaging your team anymore I guess.
I really would love to know what they said to him that finally made it sink in that he can't take those shots though.

Also Kobe getting voted into the all star games ahead of almost everyone who is better than him in the west is pretty hilarious.

Small sample size with Rondo, and Smith is 1/6 3pa with Houston rather than 0/0 as the image seems to indicate

"Patel"? Fuck you.
Wiggins had a 27/9/2 with 4 steals tonight on 50% shooting and has been averaging 21/4/2/1/1 On 50%+ shooting the last 5 games. All of a sudden the Timberwolves are looking to have a very nice young core with Shabazz Muhammed and Gorgui Dieng. They could be pretty great in 2-3 years if they stay healthy and together. If Anthony Bennett somehow ends up as something resembling a solid stretch 4, even better.

They remind me a little of early days of Durant Sonics/Thunder. Like Wiggins isn't quite Durant but he still looks like he's gonna be the real deal.

Add someone from the top five of the next two drafts and they could be even better. As long as Flip doesn't blow it.

Okafor would be a great fit for them. They have good perimeter/individual defenders in Rubio and Wiggins so Okafor doesn't need to be a rim protector or have defenses heavily rely on him.

I think it was really important to give Cousins and the guys a chance to play for the same non-horrible coach for more than one season. And of course the organization blew it.
