Trade deadline thread

What if I told you Harden and Curry have nearly identical TS%........

What if I told you, context of their scoring matters and that they could be even better as a duo......

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah that's why I said I doubted it, but still even if that were the case, experience is what you want.

Maybe I misunderstood you as I think there could be a good chance we go down in round 1 (or maybe that's what you were saying?). Either way, I agree the playoff experience will go a long way and is badly needed.

It doesn't mean anything

Bertans has been ass.

Dinwiddie has been ASS.

Zingers is chronically broken.

Mavs have to pay Brunson.

This trade is fishy.

They have to be moving him Spencer again.

and it looks like Goran will be a Mav as soon as the Spurs release him

...and Enes Freedom, Bruno Fernando

Seth Curry and Jakob Poeltl have nearly identical TS%. Which one is better floor spacer?

...and Enes Freedom, Bruno Fernando

And Enes will be free from the Rockets. Maybe the Lakers pick him up LOL

Lakers can't acquire Freedom, since they already had World Peace.

I like they moved off Zinger and Bertans does make sense in every way. At first I was confused by their guard situation but it makes more sense now.

Luka is basically a point forward. Brunson is a beast and playmaker.

Now they have Dinwiddie who is a tall SG., still don't know about his fit though?

If they pick up Dragic, it's a good mix and match with Brunson and Luka at times

A SG that can't hit a 3 reliably though.

Now you're just arguing semantics of wording. That's @dtgold88 job, stop stealing his role around here, lol.

You said Curry was no pivotal to the success. Mean that he was unnecessary. I.E. he is a throw away as a non essential piece to the team.

I don't know how you managed to turn this into a Seth Curry vs Harden trade, but somehow you did. Congrats. The mental gymnastics on that alone is impressive.

Spot up shooters are significantly better when paired with superstar level talent. Curry's role on the team would have been further impacted, in a positive way, for your team. You don't think the quality open 3's you said he only takes would become more prevalent given Harden on the court at the same time?

Wheeeewwwww.....

I do have to say it's funny when posters think other posters have "roles". If I say something wrong due to semantics, I'll get called on it and that's cool. Wiggy not the only one who's been way off on a prediction, many here have been involved in pages long disagreements (this one could get there), etc.

As to this topic? I just hope it ends before I get banned.

Pretty amazed that the Thunder did nothing.

 

[Gman]

C's did well

Who wants to play this Celtics team in the playoffs?

C's defense is gonna be suffocating.

 

[flyerhawk]

YOU LITERALLY SAID HE WAS NOT PIVOTAL TO THE TEAMS SUCCESS....

I'm dead.

Fair enough. I forgot I said that.

I stand by that.

Now explain to me how I made this about Curry vs Harden and you didn't or how Curry is a vital player to the team?

 

[thunderc]

Couldn’t be a worse look for the NBA as a business for Harden and Simmons to be able to do what they did, Harden the second time.

In 2018 the Cavs were 31-22 when Cleveland GM Koby Altman traded six players and a pick in three separate deals to completely overhaul the roster and CLE made it back to the Finals. Today, with the Lakers at 26-30, LAL’s front office completed zero trades to change up the team

Kind of was, too, with all their assets.....even if it was something to make sure they don't mess up the tank.
