So... what would be the LEAST changed team in the NBA that was in last years playoffs? Idk about the East, but the Spurs didn’t really do much did they? Biggest difference for them will be a healthy Murray |

They have Dejounte Murray back from injury, managed to keep Rudy Gay and signed DeMarre Carroll and Trey Lyles. If anything, Denver didn't do much besides getting Jeremy Grant, letting Isaiah Thomas go and extending Jamaal Murray's contract. |

Rumors are that Detroit might blow it up already and trade Blake. Griffin is also on Twitter liking tweets about being traded.
After missing both Russ and CP3, maybe Miami can grab him for their second star. Could be more realistic than trying to pry Beal from Washington.

Miami hasn't missed on CP3, they are just waiting it out Blake is not really a fit their either |

NBA draft bust Dragan Bender to possibly play in Russia That was such a huge f***ing miss by Phoenix. At least with Orlando and Mario, he is getting chances elsewhere but I honestly can't remember a min of Bender playing in the league Even bringing up Dragan Bender's name makes me realize how the Phoenix Suns have totally f***ed themselves over the past half-decade due to woeful drafting, almost always at or near the top of the lottery. Since the last time the Suns finished above .500 (2013-14), they've had the following draft picks: 13, 4, 8, 4, 1, 10, 11. With that cache of top picks, they've selected Devin Booker, Dragan Bender, Marquese Chriss, Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikail Bridges, and Cameron Johnson. Booker was a hit and Ayton looks like he's going to be a very talented blue chip big man. But the rest? Yeesh. It also doesn't help that they'll be starting the 2019-20 season with their sixth head coach in the past five seasons. As much as the Knicks are shitted on and made fun of and rightfully so in some points, they seem to at least finally have a direction. Phoenix is probably the worst organization in the NBA and their futility has gone under the radar for a long time. 6 coaches in 5 seasons is f***ing insane and their drafting has been ass. They hit on Booker and Ayton looks to be a really good center. Bridges too early to tell because he didn't get adequate playing time and Cam is a good shooter but they reached for him no doubt |

Tyson Chandler to the Rockets
Not a bad signing. He will no doubt bat enough rebounds pack for Brodie to pad his stats. He's a good backup Center and will keep the defensive intensity on the court when Capela leaves the floor

So... what would be the LEAST changed team in the NBA that was in last years playoffs? Off the top of my head, Denver, Milwaukee, Portland pretty much was a wash losing Kanter and adding Whiteside. |

Det only added Rose, Orlando I don't remember who they added but mostly brought back everyone Portland lost 4 rotation players in Kanter, Curry, Aminu and Harkless Also speaking of Aminu, he went to Orlando which is name I couldn't think of before |

NBC Sports is saying that in order for CP3 to get his trade to Miami he would have had to been willing to forgo his $44 million player option and yeah he isn't doing that

So... what would be the LEAST changed team in the NBA that was in last years playoffs? Denver is the least changed in the West, as others have said. In the East, it's the Magic, who added Al-Farouq Aminu and retained their own free agents.

Brian Windhorst insinuated that the Lakers feel like Kawhi waited a week on purpose to sign elsewhere knowing he wasn't going to the Lakers
That sounds far-fetched and crying over spilled milk at this point

Yea, they were willing to do everything Kawhi asked for and he still left and I get being a little upset it got leaked that you were in discussions for Paul George and possibly Westbrook but it seems if they got PG I can see him staying in Toronto Raps had no other options besides Kawhi so in the end they still got the best of a worst situation. You got a ring and got an unofficial rebuild going on as well |

Paul is in OKC, their biggest need is a PF, they now have so much asset value it could make your head spin, Griffin and Paul know each other well since they basically helped bring the Clippers into relevancy this decade. Wouldn't be a bad move in a competitive West |

Wouldn't be a bad move in a competitive West Yea, it would be bad OKC does not want CP3 but right now their options are limited and it is beneficial to keep him to go into the season. CP3 contract is an albatross and Blake is just as bad The reason they were considering making trades in the first place was because OKC does not want to pay the luxury tax anymore which they have done for years. Adding Blake would is an option on the table. They are trying to shed payroll, not expand on it |

A win for them and an L for Philly who needed Korver Also works best for Korver as he is not a guy you can play everyday anymore so with the Bucks so deep they can stand to play him no more than 15 mins a night and give him a few days off to rest |

Spurs and Knicks got a mini beef going
Spurs don't like that the Knicks got Morris after they made maneuvers to clear space for him but the decision seems to be in Morris hands due to wanting to be a free agent next year and the stuff with Rich Paul. Also, the Knicks feel like this is a little payback as they accuse Spurs of tampering and making illegal contact with Porzingis during the 2017 draft which is when I believe Phil was trying to trade him

Celtics also feel like Philly tampered with Horford
They don't think they were able to get fair negotiations with him as before free agency even started he already knew his market and basically shut Boston out

Justin Holiday to Indiana on a one year and $4.5 million deal
That's good value for a good rotation guy. Adds more depth to Indiana and a guy who can still play a lot of mins even when Vic returns
