STEIN_LINE_HQ Marc Stein I'm told Murphy is down to two teams: Boston and Miami. Portland expressed interest, too, but also told it's near lock Murphy is going East STEIN_LINE_HQ Marc Stein RT @timkawakami: NBA source: Warriors and Troy Murphy have reached agreement on a buy-out. Still confirming the details. Finalized tomorrow
How is it that a guy can suck royally (in New Jersey), get traded in a lopsided deal, get paid to "not play," so to speak, and then get his choice of two championship teams to join. Larry Riley really hit a home run this trade deadline. All year, in fact. He's the Babe Ruth of NBA GMs.
Thank the Lord for not trying to keep Murphy. I wanted to see how he would do, but not like this (Riley didn't want him and Murph didn't want to come back). He deserves a chance to show what he could do on a contender.
