    Your freaking avatar picture is of a guy that SA traded George Hill (HA HA HA HA, we can't avoid him) to get the 15th pick. They added him to an aging roster and he re-opened their championship window when Duncan was well past his prime. These are the types of simple trades that Bones means and why we want to get draft picks.

    To be fair, that took a really really incompetent gm on the other side to make that happen. That was one of the dumbest trades ive ever seen.

    And that same GM is the reason why we have Dame. Which is another example of a small trade at the time that turned into something great.

    So you don't want to read about the layers of a trade but you make us read about trades that are impossible under the CBA? Awesome!

    Mehmet Okur and Shawne Williams, neither played a game for us.

    The pick was only top-3 protected by King because he thought there was only 3 good players in that draft and didn't want the pick if it was anything worse than 3.

    Okur actually had a decent career, he never played again though after that trade. Williams was a journeyman.

    Okur never played a game for us, no, at least according to basketball reference.

    Why do you care enough to keep posting about the Dray trade? I’ve moved on to blowing up the roster. If I don’t care about your boring insignificant trades that barely touch the needle let alone move it that won’t happen anyway you shouldn’t worry about my exciting blockbuster mega deals that won’t happen.

    I had no idea I had the power to make you read anything, I’ll be more careful with what I force you to read. I gotta get used to having this kind of control though.

    Nice try bruh, Hill was traded for the draft pick the turned into Kawhi. The question was name the last time 2 deals were made to acquire pieces to then trade for an ESTABLISHED player? In the same offseason or season. I’m all for trading players on this roster for draft picks, start with CJ.

    I actually like reading other people's ideas except when they are stupid or impossible. This thread is for TRADE IDEAS. Post fucking trade ideas instead of all this bullshit.

    I did post a trade idea but it made you so mad we had to have a 30 post discussion about it. The funny thing is I don’t care either way about the Dray trade or not. This has turned into a social experiment for me now.

    I went to a wine tasting up in traverse city, michigan a couple weeks ago. Now, i love hard ciders and the like, but holy hell they had the best one id ever had. I bought a bottle of it but left it at my friends i was staying with as a one of my thank yous for her letting me stay there. It sucks cause i forgot the name of it... Naughty apple cider or something.
