We have that triple double machine right now, and we probably aren't even winning a single series this year We are so far from contending it's ridiculous. Now how does TC get us from where we are now to there? We are so far from contending because we have the youngest rotation in the league. You always want to skip steps rock. Just let them make the playoffs and let them lose and gain experience. Stop living in a pretend world guys. We have the 2nd best team in the western conference. But I tried to warn y'all we would lose these games. We will lose more games to end the season too, like it or not. Second best record Not second best team. |

It would be awesome if the Nuggets could swing a trade for him, and I would not let his 2020 free agency stand in the way. Players change their minds. Playing with Jokic would be fantastic. Playing with Lebron can also be fantastic but the reality is that at 34 he's starting the twilight of his career. Davis would be basically the perfect fit next to Jokic at the PF position. All kinds of awesome. BTW, if I were running the Pelicans, draft picks alone would not much interest me. Lots of them -- even lotto picks -- don't turn into much, which is why I would not be interested in taking the Lakers' young guys and just flipping them for picks. Or just taking the picks the Clippers got from Philly along with salary cap ballast. I'd want at least one very good young player as part of a package. You have to have some existing players to build from and future picks from other teams (who are not motivated to lose when they don't have their pick) is usually a recipe for misery, and more so for a market like NO which struggles to put fans in the seats. Starting from absolute scratch can easily get a team into lotto hell with an empty arena for 5-6 years (maybe even jeopardizing the franchise in a city like NO). I absolutely would not make that kind of deal. |

Sure but I like where we are. Wait, do some of you actually fear we might not make the playoffs ? It was the goal this season, anything else is bonus right ? We can only finish worse than where we were at half-season, make peace with that. Bingo. I see way too much impatient desperation on this board. The Nuggets are having a fantastic season, have a 23 year old franchise cornerstone in Jokic and other good and very promising young players. Their future is bright. They should be opportunistic in the trade market, but are not in any way in any desperate situation. BTW, how would you like to be a Wizards' fan right about now? |

I've been a Nuggets fan since '94 and it may be my favourite season so far.

GBG's uncle Lavar is back with a vengeance going after LeBron and Luke Walton.

We are on pace to win 55 games. No one needs to be traded. Have GSW made any trades? When we have as much talent in our starting lineup as Golden State, then I won't complain about not making a trade. Come on -- that's probably the most talented starting lineup in the history of the NBA. The existence of the current Warriors -- an extreme outlier and temporary situation -- is no justification for making a single trade. |

I do. The Clippers basically willingly threw in the towel.
Once the deadline passes, the immediate tension will subside a bit.
I think they'll get in unless LeBron gets hurt again.

game The reason i doubt it is that if their roster remains the same in next few hours there will be clans, divided locker room, hate towards Bron and Luke etc. It will be a battle between Lakers and Kings for 8th seed, there is no way they can make it to 7th seed. Kings have easier schedule than Lakers and i am not sure that Bron wants to get swept by GSW in 1st round with average margin of 25+ points. Magic may throw this season under the bus, trade this year 1st round lottery pick + some of Lonzo/Kuzma/Ingram for top 3 picks in order to have better assets to bring AD on summer?

I would have happily given second round swap rights for James Ennis. Maybe Houston wouldn't deal with Denver, but this is exactly the type of move TC needs to make.
Nice add for Philly for basically nothing.

Lavar says Lonzo should be a Sun if traded Lavar says Walton sucks and is ruining Lonzo; other coaches know to just let Lonzo play and win I missed what Lavar said about LeBron |

LeBron can't win a title without Lonzo.
LeBron should be a better free throw shooter (lol Lonzo is sub-50%)

Players like Mitrovic and Randle doesnt do anything for us IMO. Just cut Lydon and sign a buyout wing Can you elaborate that please? Barton and Lyles doesnt do anything for us Barton is the heart and soul of this team. A team with the best lockerroom and chemistry on the f***ing planet. That kind of leadership is worth max money. Feel free to disagree. But culture building is everything for Josh, TC and Malone. Didn't Mitro fight with Portis? |

Post 6,500. I like to think I'd have eclipsed 7,000 posts by now if I had a stronger presence this year in the game threads with meaningless, "Barton sucks" posts.

LeBron posted some Instagram crybaby s**t about owners screw players, but fans shouldn't cry when players leave as free agents. He was prompted to do so by the mid-game Harrison Barnes deal. Now this info comes out: LeBron is amazing and a top 5 all-time NBA player, but his mental weakness displays like this is another reason I say Jordan > LeBron all day long. LeBron loves Malone LeBron loves TC Every f***ing player loves LeBron Keep doing what you are doing TC. This is the future. Ainge and fans of his is stuck in the past. |

You can really ramp it up if you also include "Craig bad positioning" "Juancho too slow" "Lyles ugly shot" "Jokic GOAT" "random scrub killing us" You don't even have to be watching the game. Just post one of those comments every few minutes and you'll boost your post count, and occasionally start an argument. |
