I'm not sure why the Pacers were happy to trade Oladipo to the Rockets in all this. Unless his contract is nearing an end.
He is an unrestricted FA at the end of this season
He must have not wanted to stay, or at least suggested this by not signing an extension. Funny because I thought he seemed to have found a home there, in the same state as he played college hoops

I don’t think it’s an easy situation for him given they are a fringe team right now and unless they were making other moves they were never going to contend. Plus holding out he may have got close to a max deal given there aren’t a huge number of big name players coming off contract at the end of 2021.

@ACT-Crusader I'm quietly impressed by our start actually
I’m a DeRozan fan. He was never going to be a superstar, but I love his mid range game and when he attacks the basket and dunks on guys.

he and LMA are enough to get us to .400. Mills playing great ball, and the continued development of Murray could push us to .500 and a playoff spot. We're first round fodder though.
It's a bit of a crazy season though, the lack of crowds is really warping sport around the world.

Like a merry go round. Team A trades something to team B who trades something to team C who trades something to team D. So all teams get what they want when team A couldn't just trade to team D

Given the size of Harden’s contract at Houston and the fact that Nets current salary load with just 3 players (KD, Kyrie and Harris), it would take a multiple team deal to get Harden to the Nets.

@canefan Kyrie stays (for now).
Just for those who missed the details of the trade.

ESPN saying that Harden is only the second player to be traded the year after being the league's top scorer. The first player was Tracy McGrady.
That was when T-Mac went from the Magic after the 03-04 season to the Rockets where he spent the next 6 seasons I think. Magic also sacked their coach during the season after T-Mac left.
Magic didn’t make the playoffs in 03-04 and lost in the first round the two previous seasons despite T-Mac leading the league in scoring in 2 of those 3 seasons.
Rockets with T-Mac and Yao lost in the first round to the Mavs. Was an awesome series that one.

Not sure how long they can keep this regular season going like this. Postponed games every night, teams barely scraping 8 players, results being skewed by significant outs, some big minutes being forced on some players, new restrictions on players, coaches and support staff.
I reckon they shorten the season to 45-50 games.
