Trade Deadline Thread

damn they traded both of Lebron good friends. He must be hurting

I guess they are realizing guys who can actually get on the floor and deep bench is better than guys who are loyal or just chasing a ring. Still sad to see Varajeo go

lol, true. It was crazy how much Cunningham always seemed to be wherever LeBron was (off the court) this season

Yep almost every picture after the game that Lebron usually posted always included Cunningham, Tristan, JR, and Shump

What about James Jones. He is still around, as long as Lebron has his bestie

What in the hell was Portland thinking?!? They are giving up about $20M (the cost to buy out Varejoa) for a conditional 1st round pick from a monster team that should be good for a long time in the Cav's.

The NBA should be on the lookout for some shady shit in this deal because that makes zero sense. The only way this makes any sense is if Varejoa shows up in Portland with a suitcase worth of cash that he forgets in the Portland lockerroom after his buy out.

I think the move brings them above the salary floor... making up for a good chunk of the money.

Apparently the Cavs also created a new trade exception as part of the Frye deal

[Lebron] ... called Jones "my favorite player of all time." The two came into the league together, and as long as James gets his way, they will also go out together.

"I told J.J. as long as I'm playing, he's going to be around," James said. "He's not allowed to stop playing basketball. So, I'm going to make sure I got a roster spot for him. I love him. He's the greatest teammate I've ever had."

The Cavs should trade LeBron.

But Boston wouldn't have a team then

By trading Roberts and Stokes, the heat now have 2 available roster spots. Going to assume they will try to pickup a player or 2 who gets bought out

Portland and Miami working together to save money. Portland getting up to the salary floor... Heat getting down to the salary max

[Bolts]

Brian Roberts just got the Luke Ridnour treatment.

 

[Maverick888]

Suns need to stop playing hard to get and trade Markieff. If they want that team to improve he needs to go and time is almost up.

 

[gordontrue]

I like Andy
He can come to Miami.
We might suck, but he'll be closer to home and enjoy the weather.

Could happen...

Or coming back from China

 

[Heatles84]

That's pretty significant. No more repeater status for Miami.

 

[bksballer89]

This deadline has been a dud

Shocked Howard hasn't been dealt yet.
