Trade Deadline Thread

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Wonder if the Raptors should've went for it - have 4 first rounders the next 2 drafts, including a possible top ten this year if the Knicks and Nugs keep stinking up the joint. With DeRozan possibly out the door it may have been now or never to try and make a run.

yah i am surprised the Raptors did not make a move for a PF....a Pau Gasol or Zach Randolph or something like that could have really put some fear into the Cavs

 

[gordontrue]

Lance Stephenson for Jeff Green

I thought about Gasol but they're petrified of going back to being god-awful on defence and he would definitely contribute to that.

But like you, I did think they'd grab someone at PF.

For Jeff Green i heard

So who wants to fight Memphis? Lance, Zbo, Barnes, and Bird lol

Does anything ever big go down in the NBA?

Seems like it's always just off season FA team ups

Love was never really going anywhere------ the surprise to me is the big fuss ATLanta made putting everyone on the block- teague, sefolosha, horford, korver, etc--- and they dont make one deal besides shelvin mack?

have no clue what Riley has up his sleeve- i see how if Bosh is out its hard to trade whiteside because what freaking big men do you have left? if whiteside leaves it will bea missed opportunity though- esp since if bosh is out they are out of contention for anything decent anyway.

With trading Birdman, we have Amare and Udonis Haslem left outside of Whiteside.

Last year's trade deadline was actually insane. Half the league moved.

Washington is down. They just added a team fight leader in Markieff Morris. Best part is, he doesn't limit himself to just opponents, he'll even fight his own teammates!

Suns have Kris Humphries so now I have to see his goofy ass everytime I watch the Suns. I swear his head is the size of a fuckin beach ball. Goofy ass kardashian leftover

Yeah but I thought most weren't real good players to real good teams.

It was like dragon, Jackson and the 40 other PGs. KG coming home.

I'm talking Cliff Lee type moves. Cespedes and Price etc...baseball type of blockbusters.

 

[gordontrue]

Nothing too huge. Top 3 deals in terms of moving the needle are probably...

1) Jeff Green / Lance Stephenson swap
2) Markieff Morris leaving
3) Channing Fry to CLE

 

[podsox]

aaron brooks has a no trade clause

 

[Arizona_Sting]

YAWNNN

 

[LAD]

Ouch.

Well, the best thing that happened to the Heat today was that we didn't get Dwight!!!!

Looks like the rest of the league besides LAL & Orl have dodged a bullet! LOL

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Overall thoughts:

Thank god.

 

[gordontrue]

I think the Pistons win this deadline.

Added Tobias Harris, Donatas Motiejunas, & Marcus Thornton.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Stephenson first round pick for Jeff green trade. Memphis just doesn't get they still need shooting.
