Few double-takes with today's scores - not a great day for the home teams.

when you are able to bring exum off the bench you know you're deep!

19 turnovers

Maybe wrong spot... From Yahoo Sports:

Another NBA season has begun and so have the trade rumors circling the dismal Sacramento Kings and All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins.

"Boogie" is arguably the NBA's best center, but the Kings haven't won more than 33 games since his arrival in 2010. His attitude problems are well documented, but so is his dominance in the paint. With just one more season until Cousins is likely to walk, the Kings are running out of time for find a trade partner, which is easier said than done.

“They’ll never get what they want in return,” an East Conference general manager told Amico Hoops. “They think Cousins is worth more than he actually is. He hurts you every bit as much as he helps you. He’s like a cheeseburger, or booze. Too much and you’ll pay a price.”

Other team executives agree, telling Amico Hoops the Kings are only holding on to Cousins because they have no other choice.

"I’d be terrified with that guy on my team," one general manager said. "They’ve asked me about him, what I’d give up. The answer is not much, no one that I value.”

Cousins is averaging 26.0 points and 8.4 rebounds through seven games this season, though he's already been in trouble for throwing his mouthpiece into the stands. He was fined $25,000 and assessed a technical foul.

“I’d take (Cousins), but you’d need a dominant personality to control him," one Western Conference executive said. "I’ve been in that locker room. He’s a problem. They’d love to trade him, but can’t. So they act like they won’t. They would, though — tomorrow.”

Barnes misses dunk, Bogut turns it over next play.

 

[djrossie16]

Mirza Teletovic off balance transition three very nice

 

[gcsunsfc]

This Bucks Mavs game is dismal.
Horrible offence all round

Tied game 13 seconds left. Bucks ball

They better give it to Jabari

 

[Drummer_19]

Ooo Harry B

 

[gcsunsfc]

You've got to be ****ing kidding me

13 seconds to draw something up and all we did was Giannis dribble back and forth and then take a step back 3

Chance of that going in was about 2%

 

[gcsunsfc]

Bogut played with 5 fouls for last 10 minutes of the game

Says everything about our play
Disgraceful

 

[PP34]

Anyone know why the Knicks keep playing Noah so little? Is he still injured?

 

[BEEG]

JJ is king

 

[2006_Eagles]

So has Harrison Barnes officially broken out now?

 

[kozi]

Kidd only has himself to blame.

Let's take a step back J from 3 on the game winner, instead of driving to the rim and at the minimum putting the ref in a position to make a call.

Nope, right spot

100% correct.

Bucks won this way 2 games ago...Jabari drives, misses after help comes but Henson there for put back. Why not do the same?

Pelicans sign Archie Goodwin to a 2 year deal. Tweet incoming.

Like this deal since we seriously lack athletic swingmen with talent

Is that with an injured player exception?

Not sure exactly, but here's some info


I think the plan is to cut Stevenson which can't be done until he is ruled healthy again which seems awfully backwards.

Not sure if that means Goodwin can start playing before Lance has been cut doe?

Damn, i thought they might qualify for hardship with Holiday's wife

Bit harsh on Lance

 

[2006_Eagles]

I did read something about this this morning but can't remember where . It's not a usual hardship situation which usually requires 'sickness or injury' to the player but I think the article said we could get it. I'm not sure why the decision hasn't been made already, the article was a bit ambiguous.

What did i miss?

Looks like you arent getting a hardship and in order to sign a guy you need to cut one, except you cant cut a partially guaranteed injured guy i guess without paying him out in full.

Ah Lance is on the minimum and has a 100k buyout, but because of the injury if he's not cleared for return they have to pay him out in full if he's not fit by the partial guarantee date
