El plazo de transferencias de equipo de la NBA es bizarro y hay consecuencias humanas que tienen un fuerte impacto en las vidas personales de las personas en toda la liga.

Después de los eventos recientes, dos de estos jugadores fueron Josh Hart y Larry Nance Jr.. Ambos estuvieron incluidos como piezas clave en una negociación que mandó a CJ McCollum de los Trail Blazers a los Pelicans.

Pero en lugar de correr para tratar de encontrar una casa en Portland y en New Orleans, los dos jugadores tuvieron una idea bastante innovadora.

Durante la temporada en la que Hart era novato en los Lakers, 2017-18, Hart y Nance fueron compañeros de equipo. Mientras que los dos jugadores solo compartieron 628 minutos en la duela antes de que Nance fuera transferido a los Cavaliers durante el plazo de transferencias de equipo en 2018, ellos se mantuvieron en contacto.

Traducción: Larry Nance dijo que, por ahora, él y Josh Hart van a intercambiar casas. Dijo que deseaba haber estado ahí para jugar con uno de sus mejores amigos.
Llamó a su cirugía un procedimiento sin importancia y dijo que espera regresar pronto a la cancha.

 

Propietario de casas y amigos, estas dos antiguas primeras selecciones simplemente decidieron intercambiar sus residencias.

Si sienten que esto suena a programa de televisión, están en lo cierto. Por cierto, si alguno de ustedes es un productor de televisión, les queremos decir que por supuesto veríamos este programa.

Pero desde entonces, han hecho algunas apuestas sobre la NFL y con castigos vergonzoso y también han intercambiado bromas entre ellos en Twitter. Los dos le van al Chelsea FC en la English Premier League.

NBA trade intel: CJ McCollum, Anfernee Simons, Robert Covington, Dorian Finney-Smith, more

With the NBA trade deadline less than a week away, executives are working the phones with more urgency as some teams seek to upgrade for the playoffs, and others look to improve their long-term outlook for the future.

Below is the latest intel gathered by HoopsHype on some of the top names mentioned on the trade market.

The Clippers just set themselves up pretty nicely for years to come with the Norman Powell trade

What a brilliant move.

This was supposed to be a down season for the Clippers, wasn’t it? I mean, typically after a team loses it’s star player for the season they completely fold their hand and tank for a year.

It wasn’t just one star for the Clippers, either. Not only did they lose their biggest star in Kawhi Leonard for the season with his torn ACL, but they’ve also lost Paul George for an indefinite amount of time with a shoulder injury. This team should clearly not be good.

Yet, here they are in the thick of things as the West’s 8th seed despite not having any star power to work with. And they just got a bit better.

Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, The Clippers traded Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson and a future second-round pick for Norman Powell and Robert Covington.

This is a straight-up fleece for the Clippers.

Not only did they get the best player in this deal, but they didn’t give up much of anything to get him. And they’re going to be so good in, both, the long and the short-term because of it.

The Blazers’ Gary Trent Jr. trade created some wild and eerie coincidences with his father

Like father, like son.

Gary Trent Jr. was traded from the Trail Blazers to the Raptors on NBA Trade Deadline day for Norman Powell.

Normally, that wouldn’t mean very much. It’d be considered your normal, run-of-the-mill NBA trade deadline trade. But this one created one of the weirdest fun facts that you’ll ever see.

Gary Trent Jr. played for the Trail Blazers just like his dad, Gary Trent, did. He will also play for the Raptors just like his dad did, too.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Oh, wow. He’s really following in his father’s footsteps. That’s pretty wild, but it’s not that weird. We’ve definitely seen weirder.

And you would be right…if that’s where the fun fact ended. Apparently, just like his father, Trent was traded to the Raptors in this third season. And, to make it even more specific, he was traded after 41 games…just like his dad.

It’s sort of eerie!

You can check their basketball reference pages. It’s true. They were both traded 41 games into their third season from the same team to the same team.

Talk about like father like son. Sheesh.

The NBA’s new ‘Earned’ jerseys, ranked from best to worst

Some of these are pretty good.

The NBA’s “Earned” jerseys are back again. They make these every year for the 16 teams that make the playoffs and they’re always released in the second half of the season.

They came back again on Wednesday. The NBA just released their latest “Earned” jersey offerings and they aren’t too bad. Some of them definitely miss the mark, of course, but you’ll always have your misses.

But there are also some definite hits within this new group of jerseys. There are also probably more than a few teams in this crop that should think about making their earned jerseys their regular ones because they’re that good.

Here’s a quick look.

You know what’s next. It’s time to rank them from best to worst.
