if he doesn't get moved, does he suddenly start playing again for CLE?

They're going to buy him out.

A bit OT and interrupt trade talk, but this legend is hanging up the mic after 55 years...

I dont get this deal.   Is Powell better than either let alone both?

When is it too many?  I'd say they've reached and passed that number, whatever it is.

They will never use all of them.   They can throw a bunch of them to take on the next disgruntled superstar and hope they can convince him to stay like they did with PG

Ok?  As a newly minted Net fan cool to have another horn involved. But, not sure I get the fit either way. Seems kind of pointless.

Finally get to see what that 2006-2007 team would have looked like had Aldridge stayed for his Jr. season.

Damn, I don't Barnes could have even screwed up

Augustin, Gibson, Durant, Tucker, and Aldridge.

Abrams, James, Mason, Atchley, Pittman.

Surprised they signed LA I thought they had the washed up big that is a terrible fit in the modern NBA spot on lock when they got Blake Griffin.

Because it's an insane talent add? They need Aldridge to score like 8 points per game. Actually, they don't really need him at all. But he becomes a lot less washed when he's your 4th best player.

Do you actually think KD played with Daniel Gibson and PJ Tucker? Give 'em Slater Martin and Chris Mihm while we're at it.

You should have seen the rosters UNC and Duke could have trotted out in the 90’s and 00’s if all of their players had stayed all 4 years.

OKC shuts down Horford for the season, and Moses Brown goes off for 21 pts and 23 rebs.

he can help spread the floor and hit open mid range shots if nothing more. Kyrie, Harden, KD, Harris, and LA on the court- how do you stop them? if you leave LA open he will hit shots all day. if you guard him the. you spread the floor for three offensive savants and one of the best knock down shooters in the game. this move makes more sense to me than the BG move for that reason alone.

You said "had Aldridge stayed". I think what you meant was "had Aldridge and Tucker and Gibson all stayed" since none of them were on the team in 2007.

He had his moments the last three years, but unless he was pulling a Harden he’s done. He’s become useless on the defense end and will never get the volume of shots he needs in Brooklyn to feel comfortable. That being said, it’s refreshing to see a Miami get fucked over. They can cry all they want about LA not going there, but there are these things called trades. If they really wanted him, they could’ve had him.

If you don't have LeBron and AD both back healthy for the playoffs you're cooked. Nets need KD back, though. Maybe.
