No Deals at the Deadline Reaction Thread (Merged)

Keep in mind guys that ehizzy wants us to retire #30 for Rasheed. That alone says it all.

 

"more valuable asset" Pritch has shown he can't utilize the "valuable" assets in this economy correctly to make trades happen. If we have valuable assets but can't capitalize, do you think he will be able to make better deals using less valuable assets?

 

Source?

 

Again. How the FUCK do you know that that's what we had offered to us? Are you just pulling stuff our of your ass or picking up the shit that some random journalist pulled out of his and threw at their computer?

 

look at his stats...oh wait no lets retire bobby gross

 

...but how do we know that? That seems so illogical and unthinkable. You're taking the word of Chad Ford as gospel for some reason and I don't really understand?

 

Why don't you calm down #1

And #2 there is no way you can spin KP not using the best trade asset at the deadline for anything at all

 

According to whom did this occur?

 

God, you poor bastards need to show a little pride in your goddamn team. For Christ's sake, you're making Blazer fans look like a bunch of morons.

 

How much cap space and which player specifically? Its not as much as we thought when we made the deals for Steve Francis, which was going to get a top level talent.

I'm still holding on to my shorts, all insiders are retards. make the trades. get the big money players.

blazers in my view have been mediocre, yet they are young...however, I think we're just going to have to wait until the players themselves on this roster improve...we'll make a few moves here and there maybe to get a good contributer off the bench...but our roster is what its going to be for a while.

Blake
Roy
Webster
LMA
Oden

not a bad roster...but we're not going to have any serious upgrades in the foreseeable future.

 

It was on like 4 different sources on Netsdaily.com but now that he's not getting traded they took them all out so i can't find them and why would i lie about something like that?Ask anyone from that website that read it and they'll tell you

 

Are you advocating trading just to make a trade?

 

The asset is still valuable in terms of liquidity since the team now keeps over $4 million of RLEC money. Meanwhile, the teams struggling financially will continue to struggle. Meh, I don't see why you're overreacting unless you are only looking at this moment in time and not this summer.

 

I actually think this makes a ton of sense. I can live with this logic.

 

define showing pride? think for yourself. we had a huge expiring contract and couldnt even address one need.

 

I hate to reiterate myself but I can see us making a play for David Lee or Sessions or both this summer.

 

What I know is that RLEC was a HUGE asset that went to shit. Expiring contracts are always huge, and this one is being paid by insurance.

we were sitting on gold and its gone.

 

and so what do you do if what you think will fill that need isn't available?

 

Well if the rumor is true, I'd ask for a pick too considering how much money Carter is making. $20M is a lot and would have been a big favor for the Nets.

edit - 16M per year

 

It baffles me that many of the KP haters aren't even considering that trades can and will happen in the summer. It's not solely about being under the cap. Actually, since the Miles incident, the FA upgrade is a bit of a pipe dream unless other teams are too poor to pay large contracts.
