I do mate!!!

Don't forget Manu Ginobli and J.J Redick, as well as Andrew Bynum and Al Jefferson too! Not sure where anyone will end up but its gonna be interesting for sure!

I tell you what though mate. IF the Rockets could get Dwight and Chris Paul and trade some of their lesser players such as Chandler Parsons in order to make room for the deal to go ahead, then they would have a 'Big 3' of Howard, Paul and Harden. By far the best trio in the league and even better than Lebron, Wade and Bosh.

Although it would also be interesting if Howard went to the Mavericks and teamed up with Dirk Nowitzki. Those 2 would be immense together.

We have bug thread boys. You should join

Where?

Parsons is on one of the best contracts in the NBA and he loves Houston. He's part of the group that's presenting to Dwight tonight.

Paul is staying. Bummer.

I'm living in Dallas right now and I hate the Mavericks. Hope Dwight doesn't go there.

Where's the thread mate?

And Scholesy I think it's looking very likely that Dwight will go to the Rockets. Him and Harden together will be a joy to watch.

In my opinion J.J Redick is the best player to pick up, I love him as a player. Him or Smith would be my first pick no matter which team I had.

Josh Smith is the one I am most interested in. We were meant to be trading Leonard plus a draft pick for him, I am pleased we didn't now, but still think he would do a really good job down low with timmy. A staring 5 that includes

Duncan
Smith
Leonard
Green

Is about as defensively sound as you can get.

Yeah that would be absolute quality mate.

Out of interest who do you think is the best PG in the game? I've seen quite a few people say Paul is, but I think Westbrook and Irving may just edge it personally.

Up until the finals I would have said Parker in all honesty, and before the playoffs I would have said CP3 as second best.

I am unsure now, I think Westbrook showed how vital he is for the Thunder. Irving will become the best point guard in a while, his game is still developing.

Derrick Rose will be the best if he comes back strongly though.

Parker is extremely talented, but defensively leaves a little to be desired at times. Irving will be one of the all time greats in my opinion and for me, Westbrook is the best around at the moment.

Derrick Rose can be however good he wants to imo

Agree with Irving, the guy is beyond good.

Imagine a Cleveland team with him and LBJ in!? Would be scary to watch

They would have been just ridiculous. Those 2 would have destroyed the league on their own.

Yeah, the standards of PG in the NBA is at an all time high though. If you consider some of the talent out there it is ridiculous.

CP3
Parker
Westbrook
Irving
Williams
Rose
Curry
Rondo
Holiday
Jennings
Lillard

Wow! Thats us an absurdly talented list.

What do you make of the 76ers trading Jrue Holiday for Nerlens Noel? I think thats nuts imo. With Holiday you know what you are going to get, a wonderful performer. With Noel it is still yet to be determined whether or not he can deliver consistently at the highest level. Its either a masterstroke or the biggest mistake in NBA history.

Yeah thats what I think, it is a massive risk trading for Noel and it may or may not pay off. Personally I really like Holiday so would have kept him in my team!

Also, I hate the fact that they are called the Pelicans now.

Same mate, the only thing I can think of as to why they did it is because they get a the Pelicans first round pick for next years draft. And next years draft will be much, much deeper. This years draft was a little weak when you consider over the last few years we have been given players like Lillard, Kidd-Gilchrist, Irving and Kemba Walker.

Yeah, the recent sophmores/rookies like Cousins, Irving, Lillard, Davis etc would all walk into the draft as 1st pick.

Very weak year.

Absolutely agree mate, next year will be much better. Perhaps that is the thinking behind Philly this year? Get Noel in and a couple of first round picks for next year.

Still would have kept Holiday though.

Maybe yeah, they want to gamble and lose their team that may reach a couple playoffs. For two seriously good first round picks and hopefully become a real force in the future.



I dont think I have cared less about a draft than this season

Same mate. I was put off by the fact that Noel was expected as number 1 pick. I didn't even watch the draft mate, partly because I had to work but also because it was such a poor standard

I didnt even care about the draft this year

As far as I can tell it is a bunch of players who will help fill up teams benches in the NBA

Hahahaha yeah thats probably a fair comment mate!

Thiago Splitter - 5 year deal - 45m with spurs.

Madness.

Reddick and Dudley off to LAC. good for them. Outside shooting. Lose Butler and Bledsoe, though.

1 for 1 on my free agency prediction! I should start making wild accusations that United is going to land Bale or something. (too much of a long shot)

Works of a sign and trade for Josh Smith is on the table for the Rockets. Dunno how I feel about this.
