Denver today made a "monster" offer to Indiana for Paul George, league sources tell [MENTION=1573]Chris[/MENTION]BHaynes and me, but the talks gained no traction.

@ESPNSteinLine
Sources tell [MENTION=1573]Chris[/MENTION]BHaynes and me that it's been conveyed to Denver that Paul George would be highly unlikely to commit there long term.
 
There was lots of movement!! This was a great deadline. Boogie and New Orleans gruesome twosome debuts in 30 minutes!!!

I dunno, the Knicks vs Cle is also gonna be pretty exciting. Can't decide... LOL ... sometimes I wish I have 2 TVs...
 
OK so the reason Vivek insisted on getting Buddy Hield? He said it a while back "I think our team we like shooting".

I just realized something crazy.

The Nuggets paid a 1st round pick for the right to pay Mason Plumlee in RFA this year. (While giving up Nurkic)

The Mavs paid 2 second round picks for the right to pay Nerlens Noel in RFA this year. (While giving up Justin Anderson).

The Nuggets definitely f'd up. Jokic/Noel could worked, right?

It could have worked better than giving up a pick for a chance to pay plumlee. They should have been the ones trading for Noel.

I thought from the get go that DEN and POR deal was a terrible one for DEN. Why would they give up a 1st round pick just for the right to pay Plumlee?


Makes absolutely no sense. The only way it makes sense is if Nurkic was extremely unhappy and they just wanted to get rid of him. It's still a steep price to pay just to get rid of a guy though and it's not like Nurkic is garbage.


Also Plumlee plays the same position as Jokic. I mean why would they want to pay for a guy to back up your guy?
