    Why not give Mark Cuban a call? He might have interest in Meyers.

    I don't think he lacked drive. He worked hard. What he lacked and still lacks is toughness. He's soft. He always will be.

    I don't miss Batum in the least. He was so over-rated. Remember him in the Memphis series, lolly gagging around like he was a 50 year old man in church league.

    Hell yes it matters what you thought at the time. People who use hindsight sound foolish. Because you come in here with hindsight criticizing like you knew how the trade was going to turn out when all you did was get new information to form what is probably the opposite of the opinion you had at the time.

    That's bush league.

    To your 2nd "point", I don't give a damn if people criticize NO. I'll criticize the shit out of him if he trades Harkless for Ryan Anderson.

    That's where people are forgetting to give his props. He used Philly as leverage to get the first-rounder that he wanted. He never wanted to trade for Okafor. He wanted that first round draft pick then he got it. Now (imma start calling you negative MFs Nancies) nancies want to say oh he lucked into getting Nurk...

    Neil went out and got our #3 and people STILL find negative things to say about THAT trade...

    That's how it was in Napoleon's day. Alas, not much to breakdance for since Waterloo.

    Wow. This thread has taken a peculiar turn. Almost 2,000 posts now and still no information worth noting? You'd think that we were desperate for something to happen.

    NY - desperate to get rid of 'Melo....don't want Anderson or Leonard.
    HOU - really wants 'Melo....don't want Anderson or Leonard.
    POR - desperate to get out of some bad contracts...don't want Anderson or Leonard.

    Or you could look at it that Olshey accepted a deal for Okafor because Denver was only offering Nurkic and a 2nd. If Denver wouldn't have offered the 1st you could say he was going to trade for Okafor.

    Obviously they did, but it seems like all the parts are there for ya'll to admit he valued Okafor the player over Nurkic at that time.

    I do give him props for squeezing out that 1st rounder though.
