    Then don't.

    You should really try to find something in your life you can be positive about. It's done wonders for me. I found I'm positive you'd complain about the color of the ink on the check if you won the lottery.

    Just to clarify, some of you do understand that "trade" does not equal "giving up value for a half season rental"...right? There are other types of trades.

    I can't stay on the board late anymore. I'm going to start going to bed earlier. The gravy and biscuit is only from 7 to 10 am.

    Brandon Roy and Travis Outlaw are BFF's (Best Friends Forever) so Outlaw will never get traded. Paul Allen thinks Rudy will be an All-Star someone so Rudy will never get traded.

    OK. If only you addressed my actual post... Believe me, I was very disappointed when the trade deadline passed without anything, but in hindsight, signing Miller was a better move than trading for Jefferson or Carter. He's playing better this year than both of those, and we didn't have to give up any assets. Had we traded RLEC+... for either of them, we wouldn't have had cap space to sign Miller. Oh yeah, and Miller has had to to do quite a bit of adjusting too, so don't say RJeff and VC are still adjusting to their new teams.

    We don't know what trades are out there, but if we're only talking about expiring players like Haywood than I understand why we don't make a move. But what about trading for a good player who has a couple to several years left on his deal (Butler)?? All of KP's rational for not trading away players has to do with not "mortgaging the future", but I haven't heard him comment on getting a good player who could be around for years to come.
