And right after I said that, Milwaukee signs him for the rest of the year. Nice pickup.
-
Bogut and Deron to the Cavs, Brandon Jennings to the Wizards.
I have to say I'm pretty shocked the market for Terrence Jones has yet to materialize but I think it's because Bogut and Sullinger being available really hurt him.

Deadline acquisitions Ibaka and Tucker played big roles as the Lowry-less Raptors beat the Celtics. Nobody is beating Cleveland in the east but Toronto will give them a battle.

Deron Williams and Andrew Bogut landing spots after their buy outs is interesting. Talk is of D-Will signing with the champs and backing up Kyrie. I would love it for the one time excellent player to play in meaningful playoff games again and have a chance at a ring.

I've felt Toronto was the second best in the East since last year. DeRozan is the best two guard in the league, Lowry an elite true point guard, Carroll a borderline elite two-way small forward, and they have just too much athleticism and talent. Boston has more talent but Toronto is so much more well-constructed and have a lot waiting in the wings, too.
The teams I wouldn't want to face out of the East are Miami and Atlanta. Miami is thin at the three but White is a guy who if he ever puts it all together will be an X-Factor in any playoff series and Richardson, Waiters, Dragic, and Whiteside are a very good core that's supplemented by underrated players like Reed, James Johnson, Ellington, and the ever frustrating Tyler Johnson. Atlanta because I feel Dwight is the big they've needed to put them over the top but it all rests upon Hardaway Jr, Bembry, and whether or not their big pick in this past draft can be the two-way wing to replace Carroll.
Either way I'd put them above Washington, Chicago, Indiana, and really any of those teams other than the top three of Cleveland, Toronto, and Boston and a healthy Milwaukee.

Toronto additions of Ibaka and PJ Tucker in my opinion will make them the second best team in the east and Boston and Washington are behind them. Still not enough to get by Cleveland but at least they geared up for a legitimate attempt this postseason. Boston standing pat will not get it done.

Originally posted by usagre View PostLoser of the trade deadline is Boston for me. Ibaka, Cousins, Paul George and Jimmy Butler apparently all were there for the right price and Boston didn't pull the trigger on any of them. With the abundance of high draft pick assets that they possess I think it will prove to be a mistake.
Speaking of Brooklyn, KJ was a great pickup. People don't really know how good he can be because he was always an insurance policy in Houston but if he refines his jumper he'll be a hell of a two-way player. Still not sure what they gave up for him though.

Rockets send McDaniels to the struggling Nets -- saving cap space and a roster spot for Lou in the long run. Rockets also traded Tyrler Ennis to the Lakers in exchange then waiving Marcelo Huertas.
Meanwhile, Kings stand firm, no moves to ship out Collison, McLemore and Afflalo.
Mavericks offering to buyout Deron Williams' contract, who is likely being courted by Cleveland as they "share" a mutual interest.

Originally posted by usagre View PostNerlens Noel traded to Mavericks for Bogut who will immediately either be traded or bought out and very little else.
Don't like this move by Philly, probably could have gotten more for a young athletic big like Noel.
Thunder to me won the day. Those were two huge pickups for a mistake of a first round draft pick and a role player.
