Aaannnnd the Great Memphis Dumpster Fire Sale continues...

 

Grizzlies trade Xavier Tillman to Celtics for future second-round picks

 

Now they just did this same thing with the Stephen Adams trade, trading him for future second round draft picks. It's obvious this roster is going nowhere (and how could it when thirteen players are/were injured?), but I'll at least give the FO credit for doing something about the mess they themselves created by sending Dillon Brooks off in the first place.

 

Now, I hope somebody upstairs in that C-suite understands that a team needs actual BIG MEN on the floor, because I promise if they acquire one more guard in a trade... 🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿

Tillman's a good get, especially for other people's couch change.

 

I was hoping for another perimeter guy though. I don't feel super secure with Pritchard and Hauser being the main guys off the bench come playoff time. Brissett's always hurt and looks like one of those guys that has one good year somewhere and then just surfs on it. Maybe there's enough bags of Doritos still lying around to get... somebody.

Knicks making good trade after good trade.. I am so happy to be a Knicks fan. Leon Rose you are the man

 

I can't believe the Knicks are running the table like this.

 

The east is wide open and they can absolutely be a contender.

Thank god the Lakers didn't trade D-Lo. Hopefully Ham is coaching his last game tonight.

 

I have to laugh at the Pacers dumping Buddy Heild but picking up Doug McDermott. Nature is healing.

We've got the lineups for the All-Star Weekend to be played on the gaudy terrible lightup court too. Jaylen Brown and a bunch of rookies! McClung's not even on a two-way this year apparently.

This Jazz fan hearing the name Alec Burks:

Funny how he and Bojan Bogdanovic remain teammates in going to New York. I’m glad they’re both not rotting away the rest of the season in Detroit.

Steph vs. Sabrina was awesome. They used their respective leagues’ balls but both shot from the NBA line and did better than anyone in the actual three point contest did. 
 

The dunk contest was ass but we seem to alternate between good and bad years now so hopefully Mac sticks around in the G League to do it again. 

i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience

Sabrina has lived up to her potential since coming out of Oregon.

I didn't think it was possible for an actual team to score 200+ points in a basketball game.

 

Granted, it's the All-Star Game and defense is literally taboo, but come on. Try a little bit here.

Be brave and make NBA vs WNBA for next year ASG.

Another concept is tournament similar to Rising Stars.

6 divisional teams + Rising Stars winners team + G-League ASG winners. Play every game to 24 points.

You know Joe Lacob can't wait to bring her to the Golden State WNBA team. Her contract isn't up until after the 2025 season.

I didn't bother watching the actual All-Star Game, I almost never do unless the halftime show is interesting. Still think the Elam Ending is worth bringing into regular-season overtime. But IDK, the concept of All-Star Games across any sport feels a little pointless to me now... it's not the 90s anymore. I don't even think the "competitiveness" angle is worth the pearl-clutching. Of course it's meant for the content and entertainment! What else should it possibly ever be?

 

The LED court was also predictably annoying and distracting. Did anyone notice that the camera lingered so long on the overhead of the court during Jaylen Brown's first dunk attempt that they forgot to cut back to him for said dunk, and we totally missed it until the replay? Really excellent production work from TNT there.

Yes, but It couldn't be any worse than it is now, so why not try it at least? You can make a mixed teams from both leagues too.
