I think about anyone would be better playing next to Jokic.I’ve always found Aaron Gordon super overrated, but maybe Denver’s environment and playing with Jokic will be a good fit.

I think he was overrated, but probabaly sufficiently rated now. He's over matched as a offensive focal point and a shaky shooter, but he's a plus defender at either forward spot and still has plenty of athleticism. He's going to be the 5th option offensively for the Nuggets and should give Jokic an athletic running mate he hasn't had since Faried (the Faried-Jokic front court was very effective offensively and all Faried could do was dunk).I’ve always found Aaron Gordon super overrated, but maybe Denver’s environment and playing with Jokic will be a good fit.
with the moves Toronto has already made, it seems like this was done just to set up for a move from Lowery. would be strange for him to still be on the Raptors after all of this, and his free agency coming up this off-seasonAdrian Wojnarowski @wojespn

Washington is trading Troy Brown and Mo Wagner to Chicago for Daniel Gafford and Chandler Hutchinson, sources tell ESPN.

both former 1s, i think. Gaff showed promise last year but had a huge chance when WCJ got hurt early this season and did buttnuttin widdit. Hutchinson's an old-fashioned SF who cant stay healthy or shoot treys well enough to be a wing. probably fits scotty's picture of a 3 better than Deni does, so he can only get in the further way of his progressWho they heck are these people? Hopefully they play defense and rebound.
Thanks, I doubt anything matters as long as brooks is coaching. I expect that's why they are keeping Beal. Maybe a new coach can piece it together. In 5 years never once have I though Brooks out-coached the opponent. Pretty much every night it's the opposite. Would it hurt the guy to run a play for Bertans or Deni? Nothing like running every play for Beal and when it breaks apart having Westbrook dribble the ball off his leg. Quality.both former 1s, i think.

Nobody's happier about this trade than the ladies in the A-T-LRondo getting traded to LAC for Lou Williams, two 2nds, and cash.
yeah, Scotty gets credit for the Thunder when he should get the blame and is one of the coaches who just never will get trey-game spacing. at this point, he should just #####slap Westbrook every timeout til he gets killed or fired or the talented damfool shapes up, cuz he's dun after this. hello, Northwest South Dakota State!Thanks, I doubt anything matters as long as brooks is coaching.

also just saw that Brazdeikis averages .5 points/game, so Sixers have that going for them.....I mean he can be a meaningful contributor to a playoff team and he was had for spare parts.
To add, Gafford can dunk and block a few shots but doesn’t seem too bright nor possesses much of a basketball IQ.both former 1s, i think.

Yeah, not sure what Ujiri's endgame is here. He's probably playing 3-D chess, though.Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Toronto is trading guard Terrence Davis to Sacramento for a future second round pick, source tells ESPN.

Freeing up roster space for a Lowry trade? Not much time left.
For NOLA, keeping Lonzo is the wise move. He fits well with Zion.Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
The New Orleans Pelicans are close on a deal to send JJ Redick to the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
1:56 PM · Mar 25, 2021
Also: no Lonzo trade, per Woj. Staying in NOLA.
shonuff duz look like he's making room for Maxie & his Pahds (Thybulle? Shake? etc)Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn

there 11 mil left after Fournier and its usable til oct/novSo what is Boston going to do with that trade exception?
For Mo Wagner, I believe.Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Boston is trading center Daniel Theis to Chicago, sources tell ESPN.

Phew, I was afraid those crazy Lakers rumors were going to happen (Schroeder, KCP, THT). That never made sense to me from a Lakers perspective.Raptors are keeping Lowry.
This is ####### brutal. Miami just went from my 3rd fave team to my 3rd most hated team. Guess I like the Rockets now. Ugh.Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Houston is trading Victor Oladipo to Miami, source tells ESPN.
2:08 PM · Mar 25, 2021
ETA: Houston is getting Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk, and a draft swap.
according to the local CLNS guys, a good chunk of the TPE went along to Orlando in the Fournier dealSo what is Boston going to do with that trade exception?
yeah if the reports out there were true that Toronto was looking for Hero and Robinson from the Heat, or 2 1sts, Thybulle and Maxey, then it seems logical that Raptors were not really looking to move Lowery in the 1st place.Phew, I was afraid those crazy Lakers rumors were going to happen (Schroeder, KCP, THT).

ahh ok, makes a little more sense. i had no idea why they would trade Theis for Wagner, didn't make any real senseApparently that gets Celtic under tax line.
i'd add Portland a bit getting Norman Powell. i think he is a good fit for them and will bump them a bitSeems like the only winners this trade deadline are the Nuggets and Magic City
Pelinka seems to run a tight ship as far as leaks go, so I’m assuming all the Lakers chatter with Toronto was mainly Ujiri trying to drive up the asking price.yeah if the reports out there were true that Toronto was looking for Hero and Robinson from the Heat, or 2 1sts, Thybulle and Maxey, then it seems logical that Raptors were not really looking to move Lowery in the 1st place.
The asking price was way too high for a guy going to be a free agent this summer. I guess Toronto may try to pull a sign and trade deal in the off-season or something like the Celtics and Hornets did with their swapping of Kemba Walker and Rozier, but it does seem like the asking price was higher than maybe it should have been
i think there has to be more to that trade. If Miami only gave up Bradley and Olynyk for Oladipo, that is a huge win for Miami. Maybe nobody else was even trying to get Oladipo? I just can't imagine his value has dropped that lowThis is ####### brutal. Miami just went from my 3rd fave team to my 3rd most hated team. Guess I like the Rockets now. Ugh.
Olynyk is hugei think there has to be more to that trade. If Miami only gave up Bradley and Olynyk for Oladipo, that is a huge win for Miami. Maybe nobody else was even trying to get Oladipo? I just can't imagine his value has dropped that low
yeah he isn't too bad, and maybe i am just viewing Oladipo like he is the guy from a year or 2 ago in the playoffs with Pacers, and leading that team pretty high after the Paul George trade. Maybe his injuries have taken a bigger thought than i imagined.Olynyk is huge
I think it can definitely put them in the conversation with Sixers, Bucks, Nets. Very clear top 4 now in the East. 2nd and 3rd round in the East is going to be amazing.yeah he isn't too bad, and maybe i am just viewing Oladipo like he is the guy from a year or 2 ago in the playoffs with Pacers, and leading that team pretty high after the Paul George trade.

Will make Heat tough, but i don't know if they are tough enough to battle 2 of the Bucks, Sixers and Nets
I have mixed feelings as someone that pulls for the Pelicans. He has definitely improved his shot this year, but he seems wildly inconsistent. I would have loved to see them trade for Cam Reddish to get some 3 point shooters to open up things for Zion even more (not that he is hurting when it comes to scoring in the paint )Lonzo is staying in New Orleans.
