    landry was never mentioned to hornets. till deal was done.

    deron williams never mentioned to nets.

    devin harris never mentioned to utah.

    The players were talked about, but the basic deals that actually occurred were not. Harris to Utah--complete shock. Landry to NO--out of nowhere. Murphy to GS--huh, where'd that come from?

    That's the point MIXUM's making, and it's a valid one.

    Looks like the guy figured out Jaynes is full of bullshit.

    And this is why real journalists require two independent sources before publishing breaking news. Ah, the good old days of journalistic integrity...

    No. You're just dumbfounded that Cho, who you've bashed since Day 1 could possibly pull of the best deal of the deadline.

    Did you see MIXUM's original post? "90% of trades that don't involve the name melo..."

    Murphy to DEN, sure, but to GS? For Gadzuric/Wright? I certainly hadn't. Landry to NO? I'd seen nothing until yesterday.

    Maybe I'm alone on this one...

    So one of the idiots is right.


    Quick says no trades

    Vance says Wallace

    Unless of course there is a trade not involving Wallace

    YESSS

    Sources close to the situation confirm rumored reports... Trail Blazers to land Gerald Wallace from Char, still working on player details.

    Believe it or not, I don't go searching out MIXUM's posts. Still, even if you accept the premise that most trades that we hear about don't happen, you have to remember this one just came up a few hours ago. Too early to call it either way.

    Yeah, that didn't look like one to me. It looked like someone attempting (lamely) to use the melo-drama as an example to refute MIXUM'S premise.

    Still does. Thanks though.

    You are, but it's ok. I've seen Murphy for the GSW pupu platter for a couple of days. NOH has been talking about shoring up the frontcourt and targeting Landry for weeks. The Deron trade came out of nowhere, sure. But the others? Mixum's opening arguments weren't factual, so the straw man failed. :dunno:
