Teams typically make trades for depth or cap room, you're rarely ever go from being an midtier team to favorites. The offseason is for that.So you admit this is a lateral move that won't help them?
So teams making trades now to stay at the same spot?

You blatantly just said "he's actually been really good" as if he's actually done shyt this season -- more than in the past. He hasn't. This really isn't even up for discussion. He's a reliever when the starters and bench log too many minutes, especially over the last month with the emergence of Gordon.Not sure what you're reaching for but I'll entertain.
Breh, you're speaking like you don't even watch the Magic play.
Yeah, I'm going to need you to stop there.
It may be a decent pickup for the Clippers to stretch the floor in certain lineups, but the issue is you acting as if he's been noticeably better than in the past, when he hasn't been getting gametime to prove that theory true. Ask any Magic fan, they would not be referring to Frye as he's actually been really good this season.
I agree

I understand Orlando moving Channing Frye and Tobias Harris.
With Frye it's like, whatever--get that nygga gone he getting in the way. But man, they coulda got something a lil better than that for Harris--long run. Unless Jennings hits the Lazarus pits in Orlando. And James Franco is officially fukkin trash too.

Singler is trash and DJ doesn't even have a role anymore. They got Reggie for basically a first.
Probably for another thread...but one of the most :dahellwhat: of this season to me is how little OKC is getting out of Morrow and Singler...
Singler doesn't play and Morrow is barely playing 10 min since Feb:dahellwhat:
And the number 2 thing OKC needs is more shooting outside of KD and Westbrook:dahellwhat:
Hell of a trade

Somehow the clippers are saying Blake is not available but damn near every team is offering something for blake...
And in years prior nobody offered anything for Blake because he was unavailable...
If I was Doc I would have told them to give me 6 hours to watch some game film on Aaron Gordon...
Vucci Mane gets me like...70% of what I want for Blake...I got to see if Gordon gives me the other 30%...
And it's not like the Clippers have another big ready to jump into those minutes anyway...

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Singler was straight garbage until about a month ago & then remembered how to shoot so now he's just below average. A-Mo is a specialist can't defend so you have to be selective with matchups or he'll get killed.
Don't really get it for the Clippers if they get Frye
He more than likely wouldn't get minutes when Griffin gets back unless their going to put him at backup C since Pierce is basically their backup PF now. Pretty much bringing back Spencer Hawes at that point except slightly more expensive.

Dog, Singler has been absolute garbage man. He is TERRIBLE. He makes Dion Waiters look like Michael Redd before the injuries.
Ain't they cousins, just got rid of the whole family, shyt traded the momma from Publix to Safeway
Yeah its so hard to build a team with westbrook in durant imo because they dominate the ball so much I think they should build a team kinda in the mold of the early 2000 sixers.

I guess it's more that I just don't understand how they are so bad cause all they need to do is stand around Westbrook and Durant and make wide open shots...
In that GS game Singler legit looked like some white dude who won "play one game with your favorite nba team" and they just picked him out of the stands and gave him an OKC jersey and let him play. He was just completely lost on offense and defense and pretty much spent the game in a perpetual state of :baldhuh:

Honestly the damn Thunder problem has always been, Durant and Westbrook chillin around instead of moving. Durant, funny as we all marvel what he can do on the offensive side to be the size and length he is, it gets lost that dude doesn't move nearly as much to free himself--and when he does potentially doesn't look to pass when you know the focus is on you. Westbrook and Durant have HUGE targets on them because generally teams know what to look for in the offensive schemes (the ball will wind up in one of their hands, and when it does--iso type shyt).
The saving grace of the Thunder is that Durant and Westbrook are so out of this world you can't stop them no matter what. What Donovan SHOULD be doing is trying to feed through as Shaq would say "the others"--and make them viable threats. No one has got to those two and told them to move, or look to make a play for the others early on and it causes fukkery to ensue when you got like five other dudes cold as hell who all got to make their own plays up only after the two starts miss a shot.
Westbrook and Kanter is like the biggest tease ever with the Thunder cause it shows the capability. Now, truth be told--the damn others gotta hit shots, but at the same time if Durant gonna just stand there and atleast not realize when he could be a good distraction to get his dudes open, then what can you do. It also kills their confidence and makes them inadvertently rely on them two to have anything happen.
I think that is why Scot Brooks loved always using Harden off the bench, because he was the only one who had confidence to do anything and bring along the rest of the bench with him.
