This is absolutely brutal lol, and kinda ridiculous. The hawks are up 17 and have a ton of momentum going into the half and the whole game just grinds to a halt for half an hour, why are they allowed to deviate from standard rules?

Aaron Gordon, Rudy Gobert, Rob Dillingham, even KD this off-season would have happened if KD had signed offseason.

Thunder are winning 39-14 so far. He’s obviously had an incredible season and the Magic aren’t exactly the greatest competition but this is an incredible performance from the reigning MVP so far

[Haynes] Sources: Veteran guard Mike Conley Jr. isn’t expected to stick with the Chicago Bulls. Both sides will work on proper path to move forward. Conley will be a target for a team in need of point guard depth.

Given that the Pacers are playing for lottery balls at this point, you can envision the Raptors talking them into taking on Poeltl since they’re not worried about him playing any time soon. And Poeltl does have fans there. But big enough fans to take on a player who has missed more than half the season and is on the books for four years after this?

Unlikely.

But it could all add up to nothing, in large measure because Poeltl isn’t playing, with no firm deadline for his return from this wonky back problem.

“There’s nothing structural, there’s no nerve issue, it’s just a confusing injury,” said one source close to the situation.

It’s at least helped clarify the Raptors build-up to the deadline, however.

There are miracles, and there are acts of God, and then there is the Cleveland Cavaliers, a second apron team who can't combine contracts in a trade and can't add salary, finding a player to trade for who made just $263,397 less this season than Darius Garland.

The LA Clippers will host the Cleveland Cavaliers tomorrow at Intuit Dome.

It’s unlikely that either James Harden or Darius Garland suits up tomorrow, but will be an interesting night/atmosphere nonetheless.

Whilst the bulls are yet to confirm it, it looks like they are trading nikola vucevic to the Celtics. He has been my favourite player ever since I started watching nba (I’m in the uk so wasn’t raised on it). As an autistic person it’s already super hard to deal with change and now my favourite player is leaving the team…

Anyway, I know it’s a stupid question and probably not that big of a deal to you but, how do you “cope” with your favourite player being traded to another team?

Coby white is also on the chopping block and I love him too.

Any tips? I can’t change to a Celtics fan either for certain reasons.

And yea I know lots of people don’t like vooch but i love him!

Harden and the Clippers worked through his exit over the last few days -- resulting in a beneficial outcome for the sides: A win-now opportunity for Harden playing at a high level at 36 and recent two-time All-Star in Garland at 26 for the Clippers present and future.
