    Our rebuild (hiring Olshey, drafting Lillard) was when he was 27 (yeah yeah that's splitting hairs) but I still feel like LMA is barely in our window.

    I have this theory that the trades you hear a lot about are the trades that don't end up happening. It's the ones you don't hear about that go down. Not saying it's always effective, but I've found it's definitely worth approaching trades that way.

    I think that's true to minor deals, but usually all the major ones leak way before it happens.

    that wasn't a trade, it was a free agent signin. And they did make him an offer he was seriously considering until Miami gave him a 5 year max deal.

    This Rondo to Dallas deal seems anything but final to me at this point.

    Also heard a lot about Kirilenko to 76ers before it was completed.

    Yep! There knock has always been their guards and lack of defense. Rondo immediately solves this problem. Oh and add double rebounds and assists to the mix too!
