Lets not forget about Jokic right now, there are still players like cousins who is just turning from an injury as well. I mean a case could be made about Embiid being the best center in the league but it is definitely not a clear cut answer. Hell even Lamarcus and Anthony Davis played a lot of Center minutes this year which could be considered as "best" but also considered just top 5. Hence, Embiid "could" be best but its a very very close race.

I still think Sixers did a mistake with the butler trade, butler is a good player but also a bad teammate, if they wanted to give up Covington and Saric then they could have got someone who is a worse player than Butler but more "Sixers" than butler could be. Someone at a ariza but younger level, I don't know who that could have been.

Maybe he's just so hype seeing embiid played,but your statement was right we can't say that embiid is the most dominant center from this league, you named those list and I wanted to add green as he's leading the warriors though in a different form.

Regarding to that trade, seems right as we knew butlers attitude, if he's not like that wolves already have the complete competitive line ups, old bulls plus KAT and Wiggins, seeing how well Drose playing right now they can be a good combo together,the star caliber thing is what butler's have.

I mean he has the ability to dominate in the game specially during he's in the zone, he doesnt need to do such dangerous dunk attempts, he might pull up a Mcgrady.

Mcgrady indeed his career early, I don't know that was because of a failed dunk.

Speaking of Embiid, we can tell that he is the most dominant center in the league now, he has the ability to be consistent in free throw
and not only that, he is also a good 3 point shooter. If you notice, when he was remove during the players game, the Lakers were very aggressive
inside, so that would only say that the weight on Joel's should is heavy as he is carrying this team.

It was him not butler who is the heart of the team, butler was just a good addition but Joel is playing extraordinary basketball.

Both are fun to watch with their sportsmanship.

The game last night was a joy to watch and if you had a little riding on the 16 point difference at the end of it all then even better.
Embiid did dominate the game and there wasnt anything the lakers could do about it since they dont have a big player with the powerfulness like a Lebron brings to there game to defend against it.

What makes the game exciting is because of Embiid really dominating the Lakers, the hard fall of Embiid was scary, he was a little short on timing on the Alley-oop dunk, maybe he was so careless on that game, they don't need to make some highlights move when they are up with a comfortable lead.

Embiid must not show off highlight dunks too much not only because they had a comfortable lead, but also because he's an injury prone player. If you remeber that day he was drafted, he got injured before the season starts and missed the whole season. I mean he has the ability to dominate in the game specially during he's in the zone, he doesnt need to do such dangerous dunk attempts, he might pull up a Mcgrady.

Tomorrow's game is supposed to be an exciting game between the GSW and Embiid team, but seems like his status is doubtful in tomorrow's game.

If he will not play, it's another easy win for the Warriors and the streak will continue.

Philly vs Lakers.

A great game for both team who had been having problems with their chemistry since the new addition of players and also the release of some old players.
But look at them. A lot of alley hoops which just proves how great a chemistry of a team is.
Joel Embiid leads the team at everything, points, rebounds and assists.
Ingram with his new career high at 36 points although they still lose against a better Philly.

Davis got fined $50k for making it public by his agent he wanted out of the pelicans.
That is alot for just a tweet. Undecided

Hardens streak ends tonight with a defeat from those pelicans.
From when I turned off the tv he had 27 points and only a minute and a half left to go.

What people are talking doesn't make sense, it is not a matter that he will make more money. He could ask for a trade and he could inform the team that he will no sign for an extension. What he could not do is talking publicly about this. And that is why he will have to pay 50k

It's part of their contract which is a protocol for most of the NBA players. But if they just made it as a 'rumor' I think that will make sense and it won't be sued as fine for him. And $50,000 is just a peanuts to him compare on how much the contract he has.

I think the transfer of Davis to Lakers is for real though there's no confirmation yet and most of the news that I've come up with were just rumors. But it's a good power up if he ever has a click with Lebron.

AD will make that money in less than one quarter. Wink

Funny though, Jimmy Butler and the shenanigans that he pulled off before finally being traded, including 15min ESPN aired interview, got him no fines.

I think he got the fine because Lebron is in on the whole thing of persuading him to come to LA so he can have another big man on the team with some muscle just like what the warriors did with boogie cousins.
And the league doesnt want Lebron to making it look like he runs the league and to put him in check so to not get his way.
It is all politics.
It was funny listening to the La game against Phila last night. The announcers were dropping hints of Anthony Davis and the trade but were not wanting to cross the line with what they were saying.
One comment was he would just not pay the agent who leaked his wanting a trade for two months and recoup his money back from the fine. And another was he would declare it as a tax write off. Cheesy

He knows that even if he plays with other team, he will still get a better compensation as there are only few big men in the NBA who are as good as him.

Yup! He is one of the best power forward/center in the league. The demand for him was high that's why it's not surprising to know if Boston, Lakers and other teams are battling to get him.

Now that I've heard the possibility of AD being traded to Celtics, I become even more interested to him. If ever happened, Boston will be a power house for sure. However, I'm a little bit worried because I also heard a rumor about Kyrie's trading Sad

.

I'm more comfortable with davis in boston honestly. I don't think the lakers would be a good deal since he may end up as another kevin love to Lbj. Even if people say the two are on an entirely different level talent-wise, love was a dominant figure in the wolves' games averaging monster numbers both in points and rebounds, much like how ad is with the pelicans.

I didn't expect that Houston was to lose from Pelicans. I thought that Harden will be in an amazing game again and continue his scoring madness in this game as well. It was very disappointing to see him scoring low, but as he might be tired in some games the rest of the players should help him by taking some incentives in the attacking part.

Any team that will be getting Anthony Davis will get the best trade possible in preparation of next season as long as they get to keep some of their key players. Whether it is the Lakers or the Celtics they will have the perfect chance of offloading some of their players in order to free up some cap space in the upcoming free agency. The trade itself will attract a lot of free agents to that team as they know it's their best opportunity to win a championship. The 2019 free agency is really loaded right now with stars and I know some of them are willing to take a pay cut just to team up with a championship caliber team.

There are ways to declare your interest to get traded. Kyrie wanted out and got traded without getting fined. Jimmy Butler made a whole scene about leaving and got traded and did not get a fine. The only reason AD got fined is that he declared his interest publicly. Tell your team about your desire to get traded, if you want talk with some people like Woj and let them know you requested a trade but tell them to keep it a secret and you will be fine.

However you can't just let your agent tell it to whole world, its not allowed. Keep it a "secret" while getting it heard by someone close to you and get away with it, that is the way everyone does it. The organization had to fine him because its the rules and you can't let someone break the rules. You need to keep them law abiding. Should the rule change ? Sure, but since its not changed yet you can't just let them get away with it, it would be unfair to others.

From when I turned off the tv he had 27 points and only a minute and a half left to go.

Nah, the streak still continues as he hit a 3 point in the last minute or so and even finished the game with 37 points, although they have lost 121-116 to N.O. I think N.O. is still hoping that Davis will still sign with them though and it looks like they are going to battle it out, specially it was mentioned that Lebron and Davis has the same agent so it could be some conflict or something.

There is no chance that Davis will re sign, he publicly stage that he wants to be traded and that words is serious.
He knows that even if he plays with other team, he will still get a better compensation as there are only few big men in the NBA who are as good as him.

That's right, AD have the guts to demands coming from each team who's interested to have him, he's talent made him as precious as he is right now, only few big man can play like him, qualified himself to the tops stars of his decade better for him to play alongside with player/players who also have the same
caliber like him then begin to reign.

The Fine might be the spark for the trade that he wanted to happen.

....Big for the organization, I think it damages them a lot to fine a player like that.
It's a small amount for AD since he got million dollars contract, and I'm interested to know if he violated a law for doing such, that is just expressing yourself freely IMO. Angry
