Looks like Russ is out of LA too.

The KD deal is huge.  Several NBA experts are already crowning the Suns.  Vegas line dropped from +900 to +600 on the Suns winning it all overnight.  

The Westbrook deal doesn’t change much for the Lakers, in my opinion, for this season.  It’s probably more about setting the table for next year. 

NBA trade deadline is wild.  A lot of fun.

I completely disagree on it not changing much.  They just got 3 guys that realistically will end the game on the floor with Lebron and Davis.  They are a lot better now than before the trade.  Now whether that pushes them any further at the end of the season, I'm not sure.

My Suns!

Agreed. DLo is will give them a little more shooting, but it isn't enough to make them a serious contender. 

The Nets are a clown organization. Had Harden, Kyrie and KD and couldn’t manage it properly to have true success. Clowns.  

Looking forward to seeing if KD can stay healthy.  If he can, the Suns will be sick.

As someone that has watched virtually every D-Lo game the last three years, I'm not sure I've been more happy for a guy to move on. He is the ultimate "good stats, bad team" guy that does not impact the scoreboard. And yes, his shooting splits have been damn good the last few months.

What did they play, a total of 16 games together?

I honestly do not know how you defend the Suns? You are relying upon a collection of guys that are not physically reliable, which history shows doesn't work out long term. But if they can put it all together and stay healthy for a post-season grind, then good luck to the rest.

Something like that.  Complete and total failure.

I can’t stand the Suns but I ain’t mad at the trade.  They didn’t lose a major impact player and only lost some draft picks.  Staying healthy will be their issue.
