Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

That there are discussions going on but as in the past, Neil is either way over valuing his own players, or trying to get something very much on the cheap. I don't begrudge him attempting that at first at all....but at some point, reality has to set in.

He is really hamstrung by his own doing. Giving 4 year deals so so many guys at the same time gave him no laddered approach. Now he will have a bunch of ending contracts which are often a good thing.....but they will be at the time when everyone else has them as well.

 

I only liked this post because I like jazzing my pants

 

ugh

so nothing imminent.

what a freaking tease.

 

OK, all you (its HUGE block buster or nothing) trade freaks, would you include Dame in a trade for anyone in the league?
He's our #1 asset that would also bring us the MOST in return, so unless you are willing to include him for ANY SUPER STAR be realistic in what we can actually acquire in terms of that (impactful super star trade).
This consideration alone separates the real gamblers from those with a safety/oh I'm not trading him, zone!

 

Serious question about today:

Would you rather have no move or one that is a slight downgrade that clears a bad contract this summer but we don't get anyone meaningful?

 

I edited my other typos (I wrote the whole thing rather quickly), but left that one in there. I like it.

 

What is an impact changes. If we missed the playoffs 10 years in a row, and then made them, that would qualify as an "impact." It's like the dog races - that darn rabbit is always just ahead, and we can never seem to catch it.

 

We aren't winning shit this year, so number 2

 

Anybody who butts into a conversation that doesnt involve them to talk crap is up there as well.

 

Harkless/1st is about as good of a package we can offer. No one is taking Turnover and Leonard. Could we rent Mirotic for half a season for this? Probably yes, but I don’t know if that is worth it. Maybe Neil is trying to squeeze a second in that deal. That would make the most sense to me. New Orleans is taking on a year of Harkless, but he’s not completely useless and they need to tank anyhow depending on what happens either Davis.

 

When you stop rooting for your team to succeed and start just rooting for other teams to fail, that's pretty sad.

 

What about if I butt in to the butting in of the butting in to the original plain butt?

 

Hi, welcome to a message board.

 

I would say the 'slight downgrade' that allowed us more flexibility later. It's not like we are slightly downgrading from being a contending team. We would be slightly downgrading from being #4.....when we were #3 but within 2 games of #8 last year. Not much has changed.

 

If you're thinking about firing your kid because she got a C when over half of the class got F's, then you'd be a, ahem, jerk, or more to the point, suffering from unrealistic expectations.

 

Sounds like Socialism.....don't be better, just lower the bar till everyone is in poverty.

 

Since we have no hope of getting beyond the 1st round - again - I vote to dump a bad contract and give the team a chance to do something over the summer.

 

If we can use our first to just dump Turner I will give this trade deadline an A. Sure we lose a cost controlled asset but it saves me hours of screaming at the TV for the next two years.

 

But what if your kid really is a an F'ng C?
