[BASS_THUMPER]

John, Paul, George and Ringo

she gotta ticket to ride~

[pearljammer10]

Nuggets are the biggest losers... Nene for Mcgee? Ouch. Clippers are the biggest winners. Nick Young for what?


And i dont understand why the Lakers are so high on Sessions...Dont like his game at all.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Hate to say it but Lakers are big winners. Late first round picks and Luke Walton turned to solid players who are also young.

Portland, hope they use Thabeet right.

Is Crash enough to make Deron stay? It could be.

Bucks and Warriors won too.

How were the lakers able to trade two 2012 first round picks? Did they acquire one from elsewhere?

Trading Odom got them Dallas' 1st.

The Nuggets may ended up being the big winners. McGee fits well in that uptempo offense and his stupidity is overplayed.

Cheers, TP.

Bucks and Warriors won too.

That one is still completely up in the air.

Bogut has only played 75 games these past two years.

If bogut is able to stay fit, its a win for golden state. Huge if though.

I don't know. Sessions can opt out of his contract next year. They'll have a team option on Hill, but if he washes out, they may need to cut him loose for payroll considerations. It's possible that the Lakers may only have Eyenga to show for the two 1sts they traded next year.

If they win the title, it'll have been worth it. If they don't . . .

[KGs Knee]

Wait a minute.  Did the Nugs actually trade Nene for McGee?

I haven't watched Denver much this season, but is Nene really having that bad a season?  Otherwise, that is a horrible trade.

[Celtics18]

Wizards win.  Nene and Wall will be good together.

I haven't watched Denver much this season, but is Nene really having that bad a season?  Otherwise, that is a horrible trade.

Basically, his TO% has gone up from 13.9% to 18.5%, while his FG% has gone from a league-leading 61.5% to 50.9%, mainly because his jumper FG% has gone from 38.3% to 29.3% and his FG% on layups from 63.1% to to 56.1% as he has lost the ability to score away from the rim.  It may just be his foot/heel/calf injuries this season or he could be slowing down into a player whose defense is more valuable than his offense.

Plus, the trade clears cap space to sign Wilson Chandler to a multi-year deal.

Sessions was a good pick up for the Fakers he will penetrate and find guys and can finish too.

Yeah, this is a much riskier deal than people are making out.  Sessions is going to be looking for a long-term deal for significantly more than he's making now.

Portland, hope they use Thabeet right.

Houston and Memphis already used Thabeet correctly by putting him in a suit and trading him for a piece they actually needed. That's the best-case scenario for him.
