NBA Season 2010-2011

[Nth-Qld-Raider]

Looks like the Knicks will now offer Gallinari, Felton, Chandler, Curry and 1st rounder for Melo, Billups and some fillers.

Melo isnt worth it. Wait 6 months get him for nothing.

As Andrew said, that's ALOT for a player who's going to be a free agent at the end of the season.

Denver seem to have played the NJ leverage card well.

The Knicks are crazy if they do that deal. I feel sorry for Billups, he by all accounts is happy at Denver but is always in these trade talks.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Landry likely to be shipped to the Hornets for Thornton and David Andersen.

Good fit for the Hornets, will add a lot to what is a horrible bench.

lol that's an epic 2K11 trade with trade override on right there.

 

[Ridders]

How the f**k did that supposedly only add 8 wins to the Bulls? More like 48.

 

[Special K]

The trades have picked up post Melo!

Some rumours are Gerald wallace to Portland, Hinrich to the hawks and mike miller on the trading block(poor guy).

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Hinrich would be a handy pickup. Haven't seen a lot of him this year, but if his defence is still good he would be a major upgrade at the end of the floor for us.

Jordan Crawford (our 2010 first rounder) plus this year's first rounder? I know it's not likely to be a lottery pick but still, seems a lot.

Although, for a franchise with a history of TERRIBLE drafting, maybe the known quantity in Hinrich is worth it.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

That Hawks trade is confirmed. I think it's mostly positive. Leaves us thin on the wings, but Armstrong is useless and both Evans and Jordan Crawford weren't getting much burn so really it comes down to which is better, Hinrich or Bibby and I'd say quite comfortably, Hinrich.

And besides, rotations are generally shortened in the playoffs, so won't need to worry too much about depth.

PG Hinrich
SG Johnson
SF Williams
PF Smith
C Horford

Crawford
Pachulia
Teague

Solid 8-man rotation - if Hinrich can play to a good level defensively.

 

[Ridders]

Leads to Hawks to have a nice starting 5. I like it, although isn't Crawford supposed to be a decent prospect?

 

[Ridders]

Trade deadline is today.

Not totally confirmed, but I think it's 7am Sydney time. Will be interesting to see what other moves we see.

 

[ByRd]

Big win by the Bulls over the Heat. Lebron again proved that he is not clutch with a bricked three attempt when they were 3 down with 15 secs to go early in the clock, a really dumb shot that wasnt even close.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

ByRd the play before with Wade rushing up on Rose was bad aswell, left Deng wide open and buried the 3 but huge win from the Bulls who were starting off slow. It's a bit nostalgic to see them relevant again, makes me feel 10 again haha.

 

[ByRd]

Yeh I should of mentioned that, there was no reason for wade to come in and leave his man, a poor play on both ends. Also, I'm with ya on the bulls, it's good to see them at the top again.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Knicks lost to the Cavs :lol:

 

[Big Mick]

Karma...lol

I actually like the Nuggets team...I like the addition of Chandler, Gallinari and Felton to that team. They are better without Melo imo who was selfish without accomplishment imo.

Watching the Blazers makes me so sad thinking how good they'd be fully fit.

PG - Andre Miller
SG - Brandon Roy
SF - Gerald Wallace
PF - Lamarcus Aldridge
C - Greg Oden

Rotation:
PG - Pat Mills
SG/SF - Rudy Fernandez
SG/PG - Wesley Matthews
SF - Nicolas Batum
PF/C - Marcus Camby

So much potential for that team to be great. Good starting line up with 3 genuinly good players in Roy, Oden and Aldridge - and two scorers in Wallace and Miller.

Then a great bench rotation which would be up there in the best benches in the league
