    It’s not wrong. It was a four team trade and trades like it rarely happen.
    If you can’t agree with that then it’s obvious you are just being argumentative.
    You have said many times getting multiple teams to agree on a trade is difficult at best. But I guess that doesn’t fit your narrative in this case. So you wanna go all “Wrong” on this statement.
    Simple statement not an indictment. Not many believed it was gonna go down like that.

    It's a fact that Olshey wont trade CJ, Dame, or Nurkic for Aldridge. That's common knowledge.

    Outside of that, the only way he could get LMA without a sign-and-trade would have to involve Ariza, and then Collins and a prospect (wont happen), or Hood (if he accepts his player option) and a prospect.

    With full confidence, I can say that Olshey won't let Whiteside walk and then trade are #1 & #2 SFs for LaMarcus Aldridge. No easy here trades our #1 & #2 SFs for Aldridge if we keep Whiteside either (why trade two players at a position of need in order to add LMA to a frontcourt of Nurk, Collins, and Whiteside?

    Also, why didnt the trade happen at the deadline, but would happen now? Both teams were better positioned for a trade at the deadline.

    Also, why would Olshey bring back LA when he's a C at this point if his career and his skillset doesn't fit at PF?

    There, that's a basic summary of the video.

    It's so highly unlikely that I'm confident saying we wont get LA. Just like I'm confident that we wont get LeBron or Giannis this summer.

    I'm gonna put my personal biased opinion about Aldridge aside and look at this objectively.
    Honestly i agree with this pretty much completely. Some things simply just don't make sense and other are obviously more probable. Your point about the trade deadline in particular. Why not then? Why would they now?
    Now my personal bias back installed- I don't want Aldridge back at all. He left let him stay gone.

    To explain to you noobs, wow is street shorthand for bow wow. Cool guys like HCP and I know this.

    So HCP was barking like a dog to please us sexually. This unsung hero will do anything to support this board.

    I wouldn’t be against trading CJ for a Package deal with LA, one of Derrick White/Keldon Johnson, and a first round draft pick.

    don’t know if SA would be interested in that but they’d certainly have a good 1-3 with Murray, CJ, and DeMar

    It would be fascinating to see what Pops could get from CJ.

    I think he’d do well in his system. Like an upgraded Manu.
