Ohm Youngmisuk: Detroit's interest in Joe Johnson included reaching out to Nets about a package of Brandon Jennings + expiring contracts for Joe per sources Twitter @NotoriousOHM -

I don't get this for Detroit. It may help them get to the playoffs this season, but who cares? It does nothing for them in the future, and they'll just be stuck with Johnson and his contract for another year.
I think Detroit's time as a competent franchise ended a long time ago. Sucks for KCP though...unless they're throwing Johnson in at the 3. I guess that's possible.

Yeah I'd imagine that he'd get a lot of minutes at the 3. But KCP has kinda sucked. He hasn't really improved much since he got to the NBA.

Yeah he's not really much more than a poor man's Nick Young

People have been counting out the Spurs many times before but they have made those people look silly. You can never count out Popovich's San Antonio Spurs.

I don't think that there is even a top four group of teams in the NBA right now. I wouldn't be surprised if any of 8 or 9 teams win it all. I also do not see the supposed great disparity between the East and the West in terms of best teams. Yeah, the West is deeper. But I'd say the Top Four are pretty much equal. I think that its a crap shoot which is why the Bulls shouldn't stand pat. They should go for it all.

I can't see SA getting past the 2nd round. Depending on who they play, they might not get past the 1st.

You can say that about any team in the play-offs. I can see Golden State getting beat in the first round. I can see Atlanta getting beat in the first round. There is not a clear powerhouse team.

I guess the SEASON IS OVERRRR!!!!!!! :kermit:

Oh wait this isn't the Bears forum...
LOL.

Many people are saying Sanders won't even play again this season as he will attempt to get himself right.

I think his career may have just gone up in smoke. :smoke:

Afflalo has been traded.



Blazers will send Will Barton, Victor Claver, a future lottery protected 1st and a second-round pick to Denver for Afflalo and Alonzo Gee.

Portland just got a ridiculous on the wing. Matthews, Batum, and Afflalo...3pt shooting galore and they're all good defenders.

And now the movement begins. Great pick up for Portland. Denver is really raking in those 1st round picks. Sessions for Miller seems like an odd trade to me. Sessions is a better shooter but Miller gave them a different style out there & is still by far a better PG even at his age now. We'll see how that one works out.

Miller was a Bulls killer too.

WTF do they plan on doing with Noel, Embiid, and McGee?
Everyone knows Philly won't be competing until 2016.. McGee's contract expires after 2016... He'll either be trade bait next year or they'll just buy him out.

I read Batum is having a down year this year? True?

I missed the part where Denver also sent a 1st. They're just hoarding more picks. McGee is definitely not in the plan.
