NBA Trade Deadline
I think that team could give anyone in the East a series and possibly pull an upset.

IT traded too. I heard second han from him that Phoenix was a disaster and management promised Dragic, Bledsoe, and IT things that were not true.

I also think the Blazers getting Afflalo was a huge move out west. Portland now has a legit scoring threat off the bench. As long as Kaman can stay healthy, I think Blake, Kaman, and Afflalo is a much bigger upgrade than what they've had in the past.

Portland's season is over.

Care to elaborate on that?RoadDawg55 said:Portland's season is over.

I like what OKC did - they need to do something drastic to make sure that they are placating KD. That being said, still hard to see them being better than 8th unless the Clippers crash a bit without Blake Griffin and OKC catches them ... but 6.5 games is a lot with only 28-30 games left.
That's a good deal for Miami - particularly if they can sign Dragic. Good move for them.
Phoenix has fucking shit the bed though ... Dragic is the best player of those 3. IT was a strange signing for them from the get go once they resigned Bledsoe. Given the talent on that team, they should have been better than what they were doing. @RoadDawg55 has had their shit dialed in for a while. -
Meanwhile, the sixers trade their best player and former ROY MCW.
I think Hinkie needs to realize treating human beings strictly as numerical assets is going to backfire Long term.
They can have all the cap space in the world but they will never sign a huge free agent the way he moves players like cattle.
Hes amassed about a billion draft picks, but if he doesn't pick perfectly and have them all develop together he is going to crash and burn.
I get the point of integrating analytics into the game, but the sixers are going full on extreme with it.
I'm very interested to see how it plays out. Could be the future or a cautionary tale. -
MCW will never be a player that you look at as a building block ... he gets numbers because he's playing on a D-League team playing in the NBA.
If you think what Philly is doing is anything more than acquiring assets and trying to figure out what guys are part of the long term solution while moving those that they don't think are for more assets, then I don't know what to tell you. -
Upgrading the starting SG/PG position (Knight vs. Dragic) in terms of scoring, rebounds and assists with a guy who is 5 years younger, much more athletic and plays tough defense.......yep, that's really shitting the bed.Tequilla said:I like what OKC did - they need to do something drastic to make sure that they are placating KD.

I think it's been an embarrassment to the league and the fan base of philly. It better payoff in a big way. At some point, dehumanizing your players is going to have an affect on the team. Embiid is tweeting out "what is going on!". It's hard to develop brotherhood let alone identify a cornerstone for your franchise when you keep loading up on future potential.Tequilla said:MCW will never be a player that you look at as a building block ... he gets numbers because he's playing on a D-League team playing in the NBA.
