Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

Evan Turner, I guess that's a hard question...

 

Dame lied to us!!!!

Trade him!!!

 

"Aside from the obvious"

 

Oh I didn’t know this was tennis.

 

heh. Ok if I have to go with someone else, Moe kind of drives me nuts. I feel like at Least Aminu always plays hard. Moe kind of does whatever Moe feels like doing on that particular night.

 

I will answer who would i like to see traded outside the obvious ( myers ) -- CJ cause while i think he is a very good player but like someone said either in this forum or someplace else i read but he is like Jamal Crawford in his prime but i think a hair better. I think IF this team has ANY shot of being a legit contender while Dame is a Blazer they need to try and use CJ as an asset to get that done.

 

Nurkic, Layman, and Trent. I believe in all three and don’t want them elsewhere.

 

The fact that Neil was unwilling to move LMA when it was obvious he was going to leave, or shake things up now, tells me that the guy has no balls.

I miss Trader Bob.

 

This. ^

 

Ridiculous once again.

He's changed his style for the better.
His injury issues and "personal" issues will make him much cheaper. You dont say no to a legitimate all-star averaging 25/8/5 if you can keep our best 4 players, which might be possible due to those issues.

If he stays healthy, we would be the 2nd best team in the West and would be a legitimate contender to make the WCF (and once KD and Cousins leaves, the finals).

You dont turn that down because "Oh, he might get hurt and he's an asshole!".

 

Why will this narrative not die? He's had crap around him until last year, and didn't help matters by being injured a lot prior to that. Neither quantifies the player he is today.

 

When Aminu dribbles it makes me wanna belly flop off the Burj Khalifa, but this is very true. Harkless would be up there. Good point.

 

I really dislike Olshey and there's a ton of things to slam him for

I'm not sure this is one of them. I think he was getting a few mixed signals from Aldridge but most of the signs were probably positive. That was one roadblock to trading Aldridge

but I think the bigger roadblock was likely Paul Allen. He said several times he didn't want to go thru another rebuild and trading Aldridge would have started one. I say that as somebody who really hates how often Olshey supporters have trotted out the 'PA made Olshey do it' excuse, especially for the 2016 lunacy. Mostly, I think it's total bullshit, but in the Aldridge situation, my hunch is it was a big factor

 

You need to get the fantasy out of your head that you know better than other people. Damn that was some patronizing bullshit, you need to watch how you address people.

 

We need an asshole on our team, imo. Nurk has his moments though.

 

If it was obvious to some of us fans that he was going to leave 2 years before he did, I think it should have been obvious to the team. They were afraid to make the trade, and I hate that our team operates out of fear and not a constant desire to win.

 

I already have a job

 

Yeah, believe me there are times where the second he puts the ball on the ground I start into my Michael Scott impressions...

 

About what?
