I'm not against trading for a veteran wing per se. Bringing in Doug Christie was huge, he really completed that team and at the time he was seen as nothing more than a boring veteran wing. But Vlade has to find one of those and not another John Salmons or Marco Belinelli

McLemore has just been too inconsistent. When he's dialed in, he looks great. But the other times he just looks like his rookie self. I know Karl has yanked him around, but he was force-fed minutes the previous 2 seasons so it's not like he hasn't been given opportunity

How about a nice Lou Williams or Nick Young?

Mirotic + Noah + First gets you loving Rudy Gay now? 2 years ago Noah + Mirotic's rights would be a trade for Melo or Dwight. gently caress this crashed fast, if we promised to sack the entire FO would Thibs think about coming back to Chicago?

Well, Noah is broken now

Also, has anyone even heard of the guy reporting this deal before? Never heard of him

When did he have a good game against the Clippers?

No, this is a good Channing Frye year. He's really helped Orlando. He's anomalous in that he has been good one year and bad the next without fail for his entire career. This a good year.

From Justin W at nyloncalculus:

His rpm has been great this year, and he's part of all of Orlando's best performing 5 man units. The Clippers with Frye, Griffin, Someone, Red dick, Paul, could be great. It gives them a good non Deandre option for crunch time.

It was a joke about how Doc keeps getting guys who went off against him

And of course teams never ever make a lopsided deal in one deal then use the trade exception with the same team in a separate deal because that would be skirting the spirit of the rule

When the Lakers traded for Steve Nash, they used the trade exception created by trading LO

Found the worst trade deadline rumor: http://www.gospelherald.com/article...orris-trade.htm

Here is the headline

quote:

NBA Rumors: Phoenix Suns Aim For Julius Randle, D'Angelo Russell Package For Markieff Morris Trade

Found the best part

quote:

Rumors are now arising that the terms of the NBA trade dictated by the Phoenix Suns might be met by the Los Angeles Lakers. With the departure of Kobe Bryant from the basketball team, the Roy Hibbert squad will be composed of mostly newcomers especially in the starting lineup. This poses a problem of leadership and experience for the Los Angeles Lakers.

This seems like way more action than we had at this same time last year

I wonder if this is all we're going to get and teams just finalized early, or if we have some insanity waiting for us

Probably this is it and it'll be a sad trademas

Marion ended up on the Cavs too.

If only the Suns would have paid Joe Johnson and D'Antoni used more than 7 players in his rotations. And dubious refs. That team was stacked. Johnson/QRich/Marion/Amare/Nash with what could have been Iggy and someone else that they sold the draft pick for... was it Deng?

Now they suck SO bad. Oh, and somehow Diaw and Amare are still in the league.

They sold so many loving picks:
Luol Deng
Nate Robinson
Rajon Rondo
Sergio Rodriguez (remember when all Blazers fan convinced us he was a superstar)
Rudy Fernandez (see above)
Serge Ibaka (As part of a salary dump of Kurt Thomas)
Quincy Pondexter (see above)
Gordon Hayward (From dumping loving Tom Gugliotta in 2004)

The 12th pick for Kief? A good starter who can play in the style Washington wants to play vs a 30% chance of a bench player 20% chance at a starter, that's pretty good value

Ghetto SuperCzar posted:

This deadline promised so much and delivered so little. Never seen such a large amount of star player drama aired and then no one of value got traded.

Most years are like this. Remember how for like a decade, ESPN was always talking about the imminent trade of KG to the Lakers, or the years of Carmelo drama, or Kevin Love, or Boozer, or a million other guys. ESPN spent a decade talking about how LA and (TEAM) were just haggling over the last details to send some star to the Lakers.

Every year has tons of smoke, and almost no fire

There weren't even any great false rumors. A fake Woj twitter account fooled a bunch of people into thinking a Noel for Crowder+2016 Brooklyn 1st trade was imminent, but that's about it.

Well, thats just a lack of imitative on your part (though I think the guy who started all of the Pau -> Kings rumors was full of poo poo).

Also, everyone learned to ignore Incarcerated Bob
