I hope Russ stays in OKC and another star joins him there to make them a contender. I love the bad blood between him and KD. That gif is awesome. NBA needs more hate in the game.

I'm done with the Bulls, but I've had a hard time getting myself to watch other games too. It's just all so predictable now. Everyone is buddy buddy and we'll have a GS-Cavs final, though Spurs may give them a run though not likely. This at least creates some intrigue and excitement for a game. Hopefully Blake Griffin goes back home to give Russ a little ammunition.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded the contract of Chris Andersen and cash considerations to the Charlotte Hornets for a protected second round pick.
Andersen is out for the year with a torn ACL and will be waived by the Hornets.

Especially when my Spurs lose to teams like the Knicks on any given night..Wasting 36pts from Kawhi.

Dang. That could be huge! Unless Iabaka doesn't play huge I always thought Ross could be pretty good if he got more PT. I just think his game was too similar to DeRozan's for Toronto to give him a push. I get your point, but Ross makes his money behind the arc. DeRozan's one of the last few scoring wings that doesn't die by the three. However, I have always felt that Ross has been trade bait for the Raptors for a while. The guy just never really seemed to fit there and seemed like they've been secretly showcasing him for a deal for a long time. I agree that he has a chance to be a Wes Matthews-type guy for another squad. But what are the chances that he just gets buried behind Fournier/Gordon/Green in Orlando and only plays when guys are hurt like he did in Toronto?

How does Phil Jackson still have a job?
I know the guy is arguably the G.O.A.T., but he's been awful. Isn't there some way that he can "resign due to health reasons" or something to maintain some credibility despite getting fired? He's KILLING the Knicks.

I agree with you that this he is probably now in the same situation that he was in before being stuck behind guys. Unfortunately, I think this happens to a number of players who have potential but can't develop. But that's why these fools should stay in school longer!!!

Got a feeling Melo is gonnna get traded to the Bulls Saw rumor that he's headed back to Denver. I really hope not. I think it's Clippers, Cavs, or nothing since he's got the no-trade clause.

Got a feeling Melo is gonnna get traded to the Bulls Don't think so. If anything they will trade Butler, though I think they'll end up with Okafor based on the sound of things.

If a Blake/CP3 pick and roll is scary, I think I'd be just as worried about a Melo/CP3 P&R while you have Blake and DJ off the ball waiting for a lob to punish any help defense. Melo on the Clippers is scarier to me than him on the Cavs

Melo on the Clippers is scarier to me than him on the Cavs I believe either Blake or DJ have to be moved in order to make it work. I know there's some wonky rule that says that the Knicks aren't allowed to have Blake and DRose on the same roster, so some third party would need to be involved.

To get Melo, there's also other guys like JJ Red!ck and/or a Jamal Crawford homecoming to the Knicks. There's also the possibility of a 3rd team. Which I think with Melo's salary, to go to a contender, there's gonna be a 3rd team involved no matter what.
