NBA Thread

Here we discuss the National Basketball Association and its various teams, players, games, trades, and other news.

My favorite teams are the Dallas Mavericks and the Toronto Raptors. Dallas is doing fairly well as usual. Toronto is doing surprisingly not TOO bad despite its first year without Bosh (I ain't even mad). If we end up making the playoffs that would be kind of funny but cool at the same time. I hope they do.

I hear the Wizards suck more than they normally do this year even with John Wall. Somethings never change.

^Some things will change. Even possibly the wizards.


HUGE TRADES HAPPENED
http://www.nba.com/video/channels/nba_tv/2010/12/18/20101218_gametime_arenas_trade.nba/

The Magic have traded Pietrus, Gortat and... VINCE CARTER, to the Suns. The Suns gave Orlando Clark, Richardson, and it looks like Turkoglu will be back with the Magic. The Suns also get a first round draft pick.

It's not over yet.
With the Wizards, there has been another trade very well noting. Gilbert Arenas heads to Orlando as Rashard Lewis debuts as a Wizard tonight.

This is a very interesting set of trades. First off, I don't think the Magic were doing badly enough to do these kinds of trades. In fact, they're fourth in the conference. Phoenix isn't doing TOO badly with a .500 average but then again, Phoenix are usually way better than that. I don't think we have to go into much detail with Washington's purpose.

Either way, I love the Magic, and I kind of like both the Suns and the Wizards. We shall see how this goes: It will be very interesting. I hope Lewis can help pull up Washington's socks.

Thoughts?
