Trade Deadline thread

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I never seen anything like this.

Hoarding cap space for 2 years out is dumb though. It rarely if ever pans out. If they don't use it this year, they have to sign a bunch of guys of 1 year, big money deals (like they did with KCP). You end up with a mess on your roster like they have this year, friction because no one really knows who is going to be on the team long term. The players are all "why commit to this team when they won't commit to me?". When you've got a team that's been doing this same exact thing for almost 5 years now, that's not a good thing. You never grow cohesion and chemistry like that. Unless the deal is blow you away good, there's no need to make a move that far out just for cap space. You can move people in the offseason to get what you need. We see it every year. You clear the space when you know for sure you can fill it.

It a strenuous process...but, so long as the Warriors, and now Rockets exist...there's nothing wrong with sitting on our core and letting them grow. Worst case scenario is that we continue to do this until our guys turn out to meet their great potential, and then become REALLY attractive to free agents. In the meantime, the Warriors will run the West

Can't trade the Nets pick unless they get another 1st rounder.

Yeah, that's why I said swap. Unfortunately, a swap with the LAC might not be all that valuable if the are suddenly without Griffin and DJ.

I bet the Cavs win like 7 out of 10 right out the gate with this squad and the media goes crazy.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

No.

Ok, good. I'd heard they traded away Dwayne Wayne and that would probably upset Lee Brown, and make him leave next year.

 

[DJ]

Makes me UNHAPPY.
He's lost most of what he had.
He's a DIVA.
He won't help us.

BS. He can still ball.

What if the Cavs win it all. Not likely, but that would be some crazy shit

This is like the threads on NBA ones on FN when you step away and come back and you have to catch up.

On the second unit. His starting days are over my friend...been over.

Really hope Nance and Clarkson do well in Cleveland. Really like those guys. This makes it a little harder to hate the Cavs.

Not for me!



but, I really like Nance & Clarkson too. Thought they would fit better with GS though.

Poor Magic lol. He tagged the wrong Isaiah Thomas

Probably gonna get another tampering fine for that.

 

[Mecca]

Well, damn! In one way it's a shame because Clarkson and Nance were two of my favorite Lakers, but on the other hand what a trade!!!!

Yup...great trade for the Lakers.

Clarkson gets buckets.

But, this was the smart play.

I heard the league is investigating him because there are reports that he told Paul George "bless you" when he sneezed.

So the open spors on their roster? How can they fill these? @gordontrue

If there's no more trades, buyout candidates most likely. Brook Lopez maybe, Kosta Koufos, Brandan Wright.

Or g-league guys.

At least IT and the Cavs lasted longer than Kris Humphrie’s marriage to Kim Kardashian.
