Official NBA 2017-2018 Thread - Final day of the regular with playoff seating still unknown

Yea... they are want the pick alright but the Cavs will only give them their own draft pick and not the Brooklyn pick. DeAndre Jordan is not worth that potential top 5 pick and he can also opt out of his deal at the end of the season.
I dont see how DJ helps them beat the warriors; Trade would not make sense to me...
 
Rotations are awful. IT (Isaiah Thomas) is so much worse than Kyrie defensively it's insane," said a league source. "There is not a great feeling anywhere. They need to limp into the All-Star break and get away from each other."

Concerns abound for a roster (the league's oldest) that appears ill-fit to match up in a seven-game series with the mighty Warriors. Golden State has beaten the Cavs in two of the last three Finals, in seven of the last eight games overall, and is again the NBA's best team at 36-9.

There are questions as to whether the pieces put in place by owner Dan Gilbert's new front-office team, headed by general manager Koby Altman, fit together -- regardless of opponent -- and whether the Cavs will make a trade by the Feb. 8 deadline. (A league source said that the team would certainly "try" to make a move.)




Thomas was 8-of-21 shooting against the Warriors and finished with 19 points. Thomas again mentioned the Cavs "don't practice" -- an apparent shot at the organization considering the number of times he's mentioned it over the past several days. He's continually cited a lack of practice as the reason he's playing his way into shape.



Communication between the front office and players and coaches is different -- not as frequent -- as it was when former general manager David Griffin was here, multiple team sources have said.

Despite,what I said last night losing Griffin was the biggest lose. I don't understand why Gilbert want to be cheap when Griffin was the reason he team was having success......oh yeah I forgot the stupid owner wants the credit......

The Minnesota Timberwolves have entered the top-5 in the NBA in Net Rating at +4.3 points per 100 possessions. The Wolves also have the sixth best winning percentage in the NBA as they look to end their playoff drought.

Bulls should be higher on this list. They are a better team right now then some of the teams ahead of them.

I think the list is a cumulative total of the entire season, up until this point; I think as the Bulls continue to play better their numbers will rise...

I think the weakness now is the perception more than the reality. He's always been the smallest player on the court and it hasn't been an issue.

It's just this year they've spoken about his size so much and being a defensive liability, once an offensive player gets the ball the entire team is saying "Get'em"!

Dudes a hoe, with bitch like tendencies on the court

Agreed, he's always been like that.
 
Pacers keep competing. Don't know how good this team is. But they are doing something right. I think Myles hit his ceiling. With Sabonis, I might trade him.:dunno: May, I haven't done a full study on it.
