NBA Trade Deadline Thread

[BobGnarly]

Wait, so is OKC getting Kanter or Lopez? Or just give up Jackson for a few basketballs?

Pretty sure they got Kanter

 

[Arizona_Sting]

WTF are the Suns doing?

I love Brandon Knight, great addition.

Norris Cole to Pelicans

I guess time will tell, I hope it works out.

The Sixers have traded McDaniels and MCW. Still waiting for more details. Looks like we are continuing to stockpile 1st and 2nd round draft picks. I hate this tanking shit. Hopefully someday the light will shine again for Sixers fans.

Basically, the Suns get Knight, cole, Salmons, Hamilton, & 3 first round picks for Dragic x2, IT, Plumlee, Ennis, & the Lakers top 5 protected pick.

I can't wait to see the Bledsoe/Knight Kentucky combo running up the floor.

Philly is getting the Lakers top 5 protected 2015 pick via the Suns in the Knight/Kanter/MCW multiple team trade.

Norris Cole to Pelicans

I have read Cole is going to Phoenix, I am seeing mixed things

"What is going on?!?!" Stu from Hangover

 

[SpartyNash13]

From what I've read I don't mind Phoenix's trades at all

Yeah, twitter is a mess right now. Official details keep changing every few minutes. Suns fans are as confused & happy as anyone right now.

I love the Knight acquisition. That's much better than anything I thought we would get back after trading Dragic.

He is part of the Dragic trade package along with picks, Hamilton, & Salmons.

We needed a good backup PG after trading away 3 of ours today.

So much for the uneventful trade deadline.

There are now 3 potential favorites to come out of the East. Bulls, Cavs and Heat.

Lol. I never had to worry about this being a Sixers fan. This is what I've dug up from CSN in Philly. Still not sure how I feel about losing MCW? He's been rumored in trades for a couple of seasons now. No surprise.

Heat will be a tough out if they are healthy come playoff time.

 

[Wishbone]

Thunder just got a lot better. Dump Jackson and Perkins. Gain Kanter, Singler, Augustin, and Novak.

 

[WiggyRuss]

that was a crazy trade deadline- so many huge deals out there....

It will be intersting to see how it all worked out once things settle down.

Philly is just so bad. I cant blame them for trading MCW though- if Embiid and Noel is your front court you are going to need a PG that can hit a 3- and PG is probably the easiest position to find a good one in the league right now.

Miami got so much better with Dragic- when you go from either the 29th or 30th best point guard situation to being in the top 12 with only giving up picks you have to be happy- There might be a little Brooklyn regret with those picks someday down the road if things dont work out- so itll be interesting to see the protections on those picks- but right now what an upgrade.

A starting five of Dragic, Wade, Deng, Bosh and Whiteside is really good---- Of course Health is and will always be an issue -

we shall see- the East definitely got more interesting.

I think MCW will be a good fit in Milwaukee though- and Ennis has talent as well as Plumlee- Milwaukee with Parker and Giannis (in the future) has the weapons where they can put a true point guard that cant stretch the floor on the court-andof course i am sure Kidd loves having a big- pass first PG that has upside but also has been developed and is just not a raw 20 year old.

It was more active than I expected.

 

[bksballer89]

Pat strikes again

 

[Mebert]

ESPN stated that Knight was an upgrade over Dragic. Upgrade of what? because it is not an upgrade of basketball talent

 

[Demonjoe93]

Why would we trade our first-rounder if we're not going to do anything?
