THE "OFFICIAL" February 21, 2013 Trade Deadline Thread...

minny traded a future first with wes johnson so they could sign roy in the first place, now they want to trade roy and another 1st

should have just kept wes johnson and all their #1s, kahn is a fucking idiot

 

Is that you on the left VooDoo! Dope braids!

 

Kahn is hilarious.

 

did his Tweets drop it back down?

 

I doubt it.

 

So building through the draft? Novel approach

 

No only Oregonians are thinned skin to be bothered by them.

 

Orlando should be banned from having #1 picks...

Shaq
Webber
Howard

Not one of them stayed in that town.

 

Yeah Detroit, Cleveland and Sacramento have had such success!

 

To be fair; webber didn't even have a chance to stay.

 

Cleveland got to the Finals with LeBron, and now they have Irving.... so ya.

When did Detroit last have a #1 pick?

Sac drafts headcases.

 

Are we talking #1 picks? I thought it was rebuilding via draft. And Cleveland is very lucky and still not making the playoffs in a conference that is weak.

 

I think their future is pretty bright with Irving, Waiters, Zeller, and Thompson. Their future depends on Irving's health though.

 

Not gonna lie. Irving will be a superstar.

All I'm saying is with every team always rebuilding via draft; there are those blazers that made it to the wcf twice with never having a draft pick. Remember Utah didn't have one either for a long ass time and made it to the finals twice?

 

They made it to the finals twice because of Karl Malone and John Stockton, both of whom they drafted.

And to point to the Blazers is bit deceiving because A) the CBA is different now, and B) those players were acquired by trading assets. We are short on assets.

 

We actually had assets from good scouting and picking players late in the first round. The other assets came from the drexler trade. Are you saying we should trade Aldridge for more assets?

 

Almost as much as OKC, SA and IND.


We all know it's not sure fire.

Detroit has had 3 lotto picks in recent years. Greg Monroe (per 36 17/11 PER 19.7) Brandon Knight (per 36 15/5 12.6 PER)and Andre Drummond per 36 13/14 22.4 PER)

Cleveland has had 2 number one picks in recent times. Lebron James and Kyrie Irving
Two number 4 picks in Tristan Thompson 13/10 per 36 16.2 PER 21 years old and Soup Juggler 17.3ppg per 36 and 12.7 PER Will never be great for unscientific reasons.
That's it. they have had no other high picks other than missing on Luke Jackson (10) in 2004

Sacramento has had the most lotto chances of the three mentioned. High picks recently Cousins (per 36 20/11 20.3 PER), Evans (per 36 18/5/4 18.2 PER) , Byombo(Freddette per 36 18/3 15.2 PER), Robinson (per 36 11/11 10.8 PER), Jason Thompson (12 overall) per 36 14/9 15.0 PER

It just seems to me that whatever the reason these franchises are not as good as some think they should be, isn't because of the talent they got in the lottery

 

Thunder interested in Gortat. If I am Phoenix I jump on Lamb, something else and two 1sts in a heartbeat

 

Wait, which players did we take late in the first round who helped get us to the WCF twice? And no, the Drexler trade didn't net us shit. Thorpe was gone almost immediately.

 

The lack of legit rumors is really pissin' me off!
