Around the League: Week 13 1/16-1/22

[Superbone]

I just got a text notification that the NBA and NBPA have officially signed a new CBA to run through the 2023-24 season.

I really don't see Gay getting a massive contract... Unless PJ is still running the Knicks.

The have a 9-page summary of it on the NBA Media site. We should see the NBA Salary Cap FAQ site updated fairly soon I would think.

[Mori Chu]

That is great news. The league is doing so well, it would be really silly to have any work stoppages.

Rumors going around that Minny and Detroit are talking a Reggie Jackson-Rubio trade. Stein is saying other pieces could be involved like Shabazz Muhammed. That's our trade dammit!

My heart caught in my throat. Pls let this not be serious.

[ShelC]

He's available to return. He's on two of my fantasy teams and everyone wants him. Should I sell high??

Are you one of the people that want Rubio? I think Jackson and Knight are similar players.

[ShelC]

Nah, I always see people talking about Rubio tho. We just need to move Knight.

Dubs are burying the Rockets by 20 late in the 3rd right now.

Sell, sell! Knee buckling is probably serious. Get out while you still can.

So jealous! I want Rubio here so badly.

Ugh. Why? You saw my post about how the whole Rubio makes others better thing is a myth, right?

[TOO]

Rubio sucks. If he were worth a damn, Minnesota wouldnt be looking to unload him.

[Wally_West]

Mori's love for Rubio is reaching Phoenix219/Marion levels.

[pickle]

I'm a little surprised that Detroit is giving up on Reggie. I guess he's not a positive locker room influence either then.

[Split T]

They were playing a lot better while he was out. Reggie doesn't make a lot of sense to me in Minny though.

At least he doesn't make them worse hahaha. Seriously, there are other stats that show how Minni wins more and plays better with hin on the court.

He's got not shot so teams make their adjustments defensively, but at the same time he does have elite passing. It's kind of a Rondo thing, minus the ego and mood.

Still, at this point his value has to be lower than Bledsoe's, so if we can get something extra in a PG swap, I think we should pull the trigger (but I think we won't).

Knight out is not even a funny anymore and I don't think the Wolves even entertain taking him for Rubio.

Knight was poison against the Cavs, btw. He could be the guy with the worst luck in the league as well.
