Just saw this too. What a wild deal for both teams.

Makes sense for both teams. Washington get cap relief and parker if used right, can be a contributor. Otto porter gives bulls a starting sf.

Kekgeek is watching and crying...

Hahaha. I don't like thibs i'm just going to do the same thing to Saunders that people did to thibs. I do think Saunders is fine. The only thing I really have disliked with him is that we have run 8 end of the game sets and of the game sets and KAT hasn't gotten one shot

Hou gets: Shump
Sac gets: Burks and a 2nd
Cavs get: Knight and rockets lotto protected 1st

Think it makes sense for both teams, don't you. Wall contract is going to kill the wizards though

Barnes to kings for Justin Jackson and Randolph

Markeef Morris for Wes Johnson

Great move the Wizards needed more help with guys working on their curveballs.

First reaction to this deal is YUCK.

Wiggins won't be traded. Remember he told Glen before he resigned that he was really gonna try harder.

Great memory, Jerry (damn you :) ). I followed Johnson closely when he was a high school star in LA, and I had never seen a better high school player...local sportswriters were saying he was going to be better than Kawhi Leonard, the most recent LA high school star. So I really wanted him on the Wolves. But as Cool as pointed out, Stanley has been a major bricklayer in the NBA. Unfortunately Cool has come up with an accurate comparison in Johnson and Okogie in that their stats are remarkably similar (although I disagree with Cool about Stanley being the worse shooter...in his four years, Stanley has never had an eFG% as low as Josh's 41.4% this year).

I still like both these guys though...two seemingly great guys who leave it all out there on the court and play disruptive defense. But after 4 years we have to conclude that Stanley is what he is...a very good defensive player who will never be even an average shooter. I hold out more hope for Josh offensively even though his first year numbers are worse, because his shooting form looks better to me (although this may just be homer wishful thinking). Hopefully Josh can become the defensive player Stanley is while also becoming an average NBA shooter.
