    That's a big if, Chauncey has insanely demanded that Nurk play Chauncey's style of D so far but here's to hoping.

    Yesterday you were upset that we didn't make a trade that was a talent upgrade today, despite get a 1st round pick.

    Today we trade Svi & a 2nd(s) for Thybulle and you're upset about a pick going out.

    I'm telling you, there is a trend!

    I want to be on record early: If the trade is Svi and a 2nd for Thybulle, I don't think it's worthy of getting excited about or upset about. It's an ok move.

    Anyone making it out to be great or horrible is reaching.

    Someone needs to make a Svi appreciation thread.

    Yeah but we also have Winslow who has had success this year and also has no outside shot. Someone needs to go and Winslow can guard stronger players (and handle the ball at the 4) I would rather keep the cheaper Winslow along with Thybule.

    That is a terrific return. I don't get all the complaints.

    Yeah, the stakes of this trade are too low to be anything more than really a meh+ or meh-.

    There is the overall net value add. Nothing huge, but an asset add.

    I have a friend who is a long suffering Sixers fan. He just told me Thybulle is the best defender he’s ever seen.

    I'm upset? Interesting..... you're able to pull quite a bit out of a pretty flat statement.

    Makes the Hart trade more palatable.

    By "there goes that pick!" you were referencing the one obtained from the Knicks yesterday, correct?

    Where does it put the Blazers, cap / tax wise?

    Should still be slightly under the tax and well above the cap, I believe.
