Trade Deadline Thread

Toronto and OKC are winners. Lakers also made a good trade.

Dallas also a huge winner. Gave up essentially 2 second rounders for Nerlens.

Yeah that was surprising wasnt it?

It's kind of unfathomable to me that the Celtics had so many chances to get better but did nothing. I mean you have assets for a reason right? They have a legit window before they have to pay guys tons of money to actually compete in the East. Weird.

It makes no sense.

People are suggesting he overvalued his players.

I get that Fultz and Ball look like players.

But, they are not stepping in and elevating a franchise on day 1.

Plus, if either are the pg of the future, are you maxing out Thomas who has turned that franchise around?

Are you paying Smart who has the most unusual affect on games, without having measurable stats. But, is still a impact player?

What's that even worth?

Oh no, OKC gave up Payne to Chi?

Bob Myers for sure is scouring the market right now. Couple names that could be interesting would definitely be Jones, but also possibly D-Will.

I think Isiah can play SG since hes such a scorer. Except when they play the Bucks, then hes got a better matchup playing at SF.

...on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he's a huge negative against anybody.

Imma be courtside march 3rd when they play the Lakers, i already have my heckle ready , "Hey Isiah, ask your daddy how to play Defense!!!", of course its funny on many levels to me.

Isiah Thomas, "Thats not my dad you idiot!" Me "James thomas isnt your dad?"

Also, i cant believe Chicago trade the MCderbs and not Butler.

 

[Rock Strongo]

danny do nothing does it again.

 

[shopson67]

Boston spent too much time chasing PG for a Butler trade to really gain steam.

Well, he did trade for those picks that are now so valuable. He needs another former Celtic to get a GM job and help him out again.

Cavs will probably end up getting Sanders and Chalmers or one of the two.

 

[Davis_Mike]

The Suns Scott trade was just to get closer to the salary cap floor.

 

[Mecca]

Cavs will probably end up getting Sanders and Chalmers or one of the two.

.....but, maybe not Bogut.

Marc Stein: Cleveland’s Andrew Bogut interest is well-chronicled but sources say San Antonio /Houston will join the hunt if Bogut lands a Philly buyout.

i want fultz now

I would have gone harder after Butler, sounds like PG is destined to join the fucking Lakers in 2 seasons while Butler could have stayed there throughout the prime of his career.

Cavs a winner too.

Pg or Butler to the Celtics would have been problematic.

Now, I think the Celtics are 3rd best
