Don't know how to feel...I dislike Houston's owner, but I still want the nets to suck it.

Kyle Kuzma's Twitter Account Deactivated After He Called for 'Disrespect on My Name' to End

As NBA trade rumors heat up, Kyle Kuzma's Twitter account has been deactivated.

The apparent Twitter deactivation came on the heels of the Los Angeles Lakers player sending out a tweet demanding that the "disrespect" directed towards him end. The 25-year-old averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in the 2019-2020 season as opposed to the 18.7 points he averaged in the season before.

"Ight enough disrespect on my name," Kuzma wrote on Monday, seemingly responding to talk of him being traded. "Y'all will be reminded.

Someone tweeted they basically got what we got for KP

Back when we traded KP, 1sts were at a premium and no one was trading them, now the standard seems to be 3 firsts and 2 swaps for a premium player- crazy how things change.

The only good thing we got was a 2021 pick. Teams are giving away 2020 picks it seems. So it’s not as depressing as it could be. Also so far all these moves are burying Dallas. As long as Houston doesn’t go into full tank mode Dallas is going to have a tougher time next year making the playoffs with a strong Portland and Suns team.

Thunder seem to be out of the playoff race for sure, but the suns took their place. Portland should be a higher seed too, plus the warriors are coming back.

Ainge has made mistakes and Boston has yet to make finals in this era but among them he flips the no. 1 pick Fultz for Tatum and picks up a 1st. That makes up for some and moves the needle forward. He did not pay Isaiah Thomas which was a dick move but smart. But they were able to move on from Kyrie Mistake and flip for Kemba.
Haywood injuries snake bit them. But it was a solid plan. He might flip both of them. Tatum is moving into elite space. He was a gift. Danny far from being a maestro but he is playing a good game!

side note that AD is playing coy about him opting out and “I don’t have a team”. Look at Hoopshype for quote. I don’t know anything or read anything than he is extending with Lakers but who knows what kind of leverage they are playing. Maybe he wants annual opt outs or one in two years? Doubt its anything other than judicious use of words.

Bucks add Holiday and Bogdanovic. Moves to get him to sign extension. Thought they gave up a lot in return.

Great trades by the Bucks!! Bogs add another shooter and Jrue adds some scoring, playmaking and defense. On paper, the pieces seem to fit. Not only do the Bucks reclaim the throne at the top of the eastern conference, but they look like legit title contenders. Still need to sure-up their bench, though...

BTW, as much as I like this lineup...The Bucks sent out 3 1st round picks for Jrue...I guess they are all in for Giannis!

I have very mixed feelings on these trades but lean towards not being good.

Jrue is great but Eric and Hill were no slouches. Oddly enough Bledsoe was at least in the same league as Jrue on defense, and Eric and Hill provided shooting too. So while Jrue and Bog are fine additions i don't think it hit their biggest issues for being successful in playoffs. I see a very similar team of Giannis drive or kick out for 4 on 3 on the perimeter. Bogs provides some insurance in case Khris is cold but I don't see it adding any new wrinkles if teams are modestly successful against Giannis

this looks more like a "best we could do under the circumstances" move to appease Giannis.

Still expecting them to win a ton of games but come playoffs i think they may struggle again

Celtics had their own version of The Process fueled by trading aging stars instead of hard tanks. The difference is they didn't draft narcissists unlike 76ers, and they have a better coach. Still unsure if Brad can coach them over the hump. He knows how to beat bad teams that's for sure

I too have a curiosity about AD. He strikes me as a team guy and who doesn't enjoy winning, but who (with that level of talent) wants to be Lebron's #2. Wade is the only guy who looked happy in that regard. Lebron sucks all the oxygen out of every room

Not sure, the Celtics asking for this 2 day extension only makes sense to if it’s Hayward either threatening to opt out or holding off opting in until after the draft to keep control of his trade destination. Unless anyone can think of author reason?

Celtics have been rumored to have been wanting to trade up in the first round for a while, so maybe if the hawks are the team, it would be Hayward for the hawks 6th pick?
