I just want to shine some spotlight on this unheralded player. Beal is one of those superstars-in-waiting who's in desperate need for opportunity. Wall is cancer to the Wizards, and there is no better time for Beal to leave the Wizards and get the recognition and superstar platform that he deserves and is capable of.

but that wont happen (him asking out) with all that shit he's said already. if he wanted out, he should've kept his mouth shut and not have said anything.

If someone goes hard after Brogdon its going to be impossible for the Bucks to keep him and Middleton. When the smoke clears i think the Bucks roster will be weaker than the 18/19 edition.

Just like that, the West is wide open.
Im starting to believe Lebron is a leprechaun. The West is the new 2000s East.

fml Knicks. Dolan should sell the team. No one wants to join NYK with him

Brogdon is leaving the Bucks for the Pacers in a sign and trade. Big loss for the Bucks. I wonder what happens with George Hill. Milwaukee is going to need to replace the shooting Brogdon provided in the regular season and Hill provided in the playoffs.
Brogdon did have ongoing Plantar Fasciitis issues.... hmmmm

Pacers get better. Bucks get worse.

He.might get out anyway. Keeping him around keeps them bad but not bad enough for a top pick. I believe they are in tge tax and they already trader porter jr. I could see them look at NO haul (not that it would exactly the same. And think that might be worth it especially with a super max not playing, possibly slowed john wall.

oh ya he still might get traded, but i was mentioning about the part that he would ask out, as opposed to the wizards deciding on their own to trade him. the backlash he would get if that got out.

Best 3 teams in the east last year were the Raptors, Bucks and 76ers. The Bucks and 76ers are now worse. Let's see what happens to the Raptors.

EDIT: or maybe the 76ers are better. they just signed Horford. LOL.

OOOooookkk...

Funny to see the dynasty implode like this. Barely a month ago the Warriors were the gold standard of team chemistry, impeccable front office management, great coaching on all levels, and overall tight-knit organization. Now, everyone is throwing molotov cocktails inside the house. The Iggy situation proves that owners/managers will always protect their own interest even if it derails players.

I'm not sure about exploding, they have 4 all stars again and will be competing for the championship.

I doubt it JC. Which 4 are you counting? Its only Curry, Green, and DLo until the playoffs. Curry will have his regular season star-performance, but Green will be seriously exposed. DLo is promising, and Im excited how he'll perform. But given their salary obligations, and the shock of losing this years finals, I think it's safe to say the Warriors are nowhere near favorites now (maybe just #3-#4). Houston, if they do this offseason correctly, may have a chance to the finals now.

So far i'd say the Pacers have improved the most in the eastern conference.

They are not nearly as far ahead as they once were. But they saved a huge amount of money with Russel over Durrant and iggy, so maybe their depth won't be as bad. Also durrant was not going to help them so for next year their team is better than it was. It will be interesting to see how their even more guard heavy attack works. Hou seams to be coming apart at the seams and Hardens style doesn't work in playoffs. The West is going to be very exciting Uta, Por, Den, Lakers, NO, Dal, Clippers, even the Kings should improve.

Harden is ok. Their problem in the last 3-5 playoffs is not with Harden, as Harden has adjusted well enough to plug any weaknesses, but GSW. And now that GSW is weaker, they have a chance. What Houston needs is a legit interior presence (on defense) who can create and flourish (on offense) even without being fed by Harden (maybe prime Gasol, Lopez, Love, someone of the sort) and a not-CP3 point guard (like Parker, Billups). Keep the entire row of 3-and-D bombers and defenders and theyre championship level.

But why the fuck are they re-signing Rivers though???!!
