I'm of the mindset that your either a contender or nothing. Being the Western conference Atlanta Hawks isn't a good thing.

No FA is going to Utah that would instantly make them a contender. They have a nice young core, getting them playoff experience while getting a guy that can help Exum only helps. They didn't give up much, and if Hill doesn't work out they simply let him walk next year.

Joe Lacob (Golden St) claimed they are playing moneyball and Rachel Nichols said,

"they aren't playing money ball. They happen to have the league MVP and they are paying him at an incredible salary."

WTF does she think Moneyball is? There are 2 ways to play Moneyball...pay less than market value when possible, or find players that are underrated by the market. I would say that Bogut, Iggy, and Thompson are the only guys that are paid near their real value. Everybody else who matters is underpaid.

The Kings have traded Marco Belinelli to the Hornets for the #22 overall pick (and likely one of Jeremy Lamb or Spencer Hawes).

The deal won't be officially completed until July 1st

Because they gave Curry a cheaper deal because they didn't trust his ankles. I get her point

BREAKING:

The Thunder have traded Serge Ibaka to the Orlando Magic for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, and the draft rights to Domatas Sabonis (#11 overall pick).

WOW

If KD stays, we become the frontrunners for the title. IMO Russ, Oladipo, KD, Sabonis/Kanter, and Adams is just nasty.

I might be getting ahead of myself a little with that statement, considering everything that can still happen. But man do I love that deal. Lol

Me too man. I was thinking they'd trade him to Boston for the 3rd pick. But I like this deal so much better. Oladipo and Sabonis! What was Orlando thinking?

My biggest hope was The Celtics pick and maybe sneak out Bradley. This trade>>>>>that trade. Orlando is obviously drunk.

Yeah. There are a couple of other sites also reporting this. However, Whiteside still hasn't met with Dallas yet. He was supposed to do that on July 1st.

I read that he's interested in Boston & the Lakers but I think Boston has more to spend, Correct me if I'm wrong.
