Am I the only one happy standing pat and letting the gang get healthy? Things gelled pretty nicely with a full deck

They waived him after the trade that made him expendable, he's had a lower leg injury all year. I think it's as much a 'vet injury' as anything else. I'm not saying they should, I just selfishly love the dude.

Yeah, KD should be uncomfortable that his future is basically in Kyrie's hands. With how unpredictable Kyrie has been in his career, who knows what's gonna happen this off-season. And I can't wait.

I'm not upset.
Now, if we get to the playoffs healthy and get bounced in the first or second round, we absolutely need to do something in the off-season if we want to have a legitimate chance next year.

Yes he could not come directly back to us from SA but now that hes been traded if the Raps were to cut him we could sign him . But because he basically fits their interchangeable frontline scheme and is on a playoff team that wont happen

I'm really curious how much this luxury tax things truly still matters to the Reinsdorfs. I can understand not wanting to hit it this year, but next year they're gonna hit it assuming they re-sign Zach Lavine.

Other than cubs and Blackhawks Chicago teams operate like small market teams

I dunno, the Cubs are pretty cheap again now.

They are in a rebuild it’s the right time to be cheap when they are making a run I’m sure they will be spending like they have before

DeAndre Bembry waived by the Nets.
He's 6'5 and can play the 4. AK is already salivating.

Bulls don’t appear to have any buy out options for big men. Things went pretty poorly for them on that front

All the big names got traded to teams who are very much going to need those guys in the playoffs.

I'm a little surprised the nets decided to give away a chance at a championship

I'm not. Harden never exactly fit in there.

I agree, but if they had harden, Irving, and Durant in the playoffs they had a chance. I hate harden, but 76ers gave themselves a chance this year

Certainly, but my guess is also Harden wants a championship, and maybe thinks he won't be able to do it with Kyrie not being able to play home games... plus the Nets are falling in the standings due to KD being out, good chance they end the season in a play-in-game, and a tough 1st round matchup. I mean Harden forced his way to the Nets last year thinking a team with 3 stars would be just about guaranteed a championship... of course Kyrie Irving isn't known for staying healthy.
Sixers have been climbing, and probably will only continue now with adding Harden, though I imagine it'll take Harden a bit of time to get up to speed.

I'm hoping that Jerry is at the point of his life where he's realizing he can't take it with him and all he's doing is spending his kids money now anyway so why not destroy the luxury tax.

Nets still remain the favorites to win the title
