Because it's tradition. So Boris Diaw is vacationing in the Pyrenees as training camp starts (excused), and Popovich made some cracks during media day that he was gonna come back fat, at least at 275. Word got back to Diaw and he responded on Instagram with "only 1 glass a day and daily workouts" and this tremendous pic. It's like U Mad Bro and The Most Interesting Man in the World had a baby.

the Rockets with Howard are 12-1 (only loss to Memphis).

But I'm sure people like LA and Valrod will still hate Harden

I actually got nothing bad to say about Harden this year. He's been a monster, and even a halfway adequate defender on rare occasion.

he's been more than adequate. certain stretches of the game he has played great D this year. averaging a block a game which is a huge surprise and also pulling down 6+ boards a game to go along with 2 steals.

According to @WojYahooNBA BOS gets Brandan Wright, Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, future first and second. DAL gets Rajon Rondo, Dwight Powell.

I think it will hurt them this year and help them going forward. Hard to trade for a ball dominant PG midseason and get results. Mavs were the #1 offense in the NBA before this.

Good point. I do think it helps their defense instantly.

Better to do this trade now than in Feb though. Maybe...maybe it gives them enough time to gel...though I agree that they probably need a whole off-season.

Not sure why Celtics do the trade now? Probably could have done better near the deadline.

Cavs need to trade Waiters SOOOOON. Either get a SG who can shoot or get some rim protection.

Rondo for Brandon Wright, Jameer Nelson and a protected 2015 1st round pick, 2016 2nd round pick

That's it?

Jameeeeeeeeer

Feel bad for the guy. Getting older. Spent all those years grinding it out with Orlando. Now he signs to a team to try and win a title and then gets sent over to the damn Celtics. Still my dude tho
