Game #27: TOR @ BKN, Friday December 7th 2018, 7:30 PM ET, SN1

[Mitch P]

Duncan was damn dominate. You could build a team because he did everything right.

Okay.....you guys are right about Duncan. It was a quiet sort of domination. I was a big Suns fan when he was at his peak and you didn't worry about him that much but he never had a bad game. I wonder if we'll ever see his like again? Philly might think Embiid will be that kind of player but seems unlikely. Duncan kind of had a Kawhi Leonard mentality in a larger body.

They did. I mean George Hill is a good pickup and is a better player than Dellavadova, but they're also sending Henson (who's a pretty good player imo), plus their two 2021 picks. Probably make them a bit better this year, but not having those picks in 2021 is significant.

It's a money deal for Bucks. Hill only has $1M guaranteed next year so they can waive him. Now the Bucks can use that extra cap space to resign Middleton without going into the tax.

Hill is a pretty good veteran to have off the bench. I believe he's shooting in the 40%'s as well.

[Joey]

Restored. That can't be good karma for the game though ... Lol

[DanH]

JV starting tonight.

Hopefully we see a lot of OG with the starters too, and let Siakam wreck the opposing bench. Will also be interesting to see if Wright continues to be the primary initiator with the bench - in theory, Serge's PnP game (even to the midrange) should open up the lane beautifully for Wright's herky jerky drives.

So who's next on the CLE fire sale? JR Smith? Do they keep Rodney Hood because he's expiring?

They also send Dekker to Bucks.

Edit: But damn they gave up a lot

The Bucks sending their 1st and 2nd round 2021 picks is also a gamble for Milwaukee

Henson, although currently injured, has averaged 9.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game against the Raptors

I'm just glad we won't see Dirty Delly in the playoffs now.

Edit: Also, based on PER, Cavs win the trade according to ESPN Trade Machine. Bucks need the money to resign Brook Lopez next year. Interesting move, but I'm not convinced it tips the needle in the playoffs

[Hotshot]

George Hill going to Bucks. Our competition is getting stronger.

Yeah.. I guess at this moment the Raps aren't in hurry to make a trade but if the 3 ball doesnt become consistent by the trade deadline, those who are struggling in their current roles might be on the move.

Damn that is not cool. Everybody around the Greek Freak is long and can defend, handle the ball, make plays, and most importantly shoot. They'll just play positionless.

Actually, the Nets were kinda decent until the Caris LeVert injury.

Are we sure the Nets coach is good? Hes overrated... at some point I want a team to be decent. Nets lead the league in blown 4th Q leads.
