Let’s trade for Marcus Smart. We need somebody to light a fire under this teams ass.

Nurk, Goodwin and Yuta and 2nds for Smart and Biz.

Sucks giving up Nurk but it is what it is. Nurk would be great next to JJJ.

Trade Eubanks for a bs 2nd to someone. Who cares. Maybe KBD too. Reroute them for Bey

Wolves up 9 with 4 minutes left in Boston. The Celtics haven't lost at home this season.

Looks like they won’t tonight either.

I thought so too. For a chest bump?

Claxton is a sissy, talk shit then flop like a baby. Classic.

Also, had no clue Tristan Thompson still played.

Bucks taking it to the Celtics... What they're doing to them could be considered a hate crime in most countries.

It definitely warrants a T. Was it his second? (Can’t hear where I am.)

Mavs aren’t showing much more humanity to the Knicks.

The old guard like Barkley, Oakley, etc. would laugh at that bump becoming a flagrant-2 and an ejection. Claxton is such a fugazi, dunking and strutting and talking trash, and then when he gets a gentle bump in return, falling to the floor like a rag doll. Really embarrassing show from him.

These games are terribly uncompetitive today. Feels like we're firmly in the dog days of the season.

Hasn’t he been, at least statistical, one of the worst players in league this season?

Yes he’s been awful and has a bad contract…remember when he was named an all star starter?

Andrew Wiggins was never good, you'll never convince me otherwise.

He might have been the 2nd best player on the Warriors during their last title run; he was excellent. But he's been pretty mediocre to outright bad otherwise. Warriors must really be regretting giving him that huge contract. I don't really understand these trade rumors. Who's going to give them anything interesting for Wiggins? Nobody would want that contract. Do they package him with draft picks or something? They're going to have to bribe a team to take him.

Warriors will have to throw in at least one first, or maybe even Kuminga or Moody to get off of that Wiggins deal. I'd let the Warriors rot with that deal unless they really pony up.
