2014 NBA Trade Deadline Rumors/Discussion Thread

[phillycavsfan]

Sixers tanking is too obvious the leage will make sure they not #1 pick like Boston in 97

Fine. I'll settle for Wiggins. Or Exum. Or Parker. Or Randle.

And then you got the Pelicans hand delivering us Noah Vonleh or Aaron Gordon. It's beautiful.

We already signed Stephen Jackson at the begininng of the year.. he was out of shape so we released him

Dude was ready to scrap at GS. I liked his G. Bring him back just for altercations

The rookie is outplaying him because the rookie is better. It happens all the time. Doesnt mean Turner cant be a good player in the league.

When the Heat drafted Wade, Riley sold all Heat fans on him being a PG to pair up with Eddie Jones. Then Wade outplayed Eddie Jones.
He also signed Haslem as an undrafted rookie while we still had Bryan Grant. Then Haslem outplayed Bryan Grant.

Better players outplay others all the time. Butthat other player can still have potential and shouldnt be just given away for free like the Sixers just did.

Dude garbage save that Shyt breh. He mentally fragile and gives up too much on the court. Trust been following him his entire career. He has reached his peak. He need to develop his dribble and strengths around the court might since he can't finish.

Trust me I had no problems with that at all

Jan Vesely doe.

OH MOZGOD! WE BRINGING DAT #CACLETICISM to the MILE HIGH CITY!

 

[Full Measures]

They could have gotten more than an injured expiring contract for him IMO. He's a good young player with a lot of upside

Evan Turner? Upside? In the same sentence?

Hinkie showing GMs around the league how to destroy and rebuild.

you mean he's showing them how to destroy. we'll have to wait to see if he can rebuild. its easy to trade away every current asset a team has for future assets. its another to make those future assets into something better than what you gave up.

so far he's hit on MCW (if he was the one who drafted him). Noel is unknown. So is every else who'll come from all these draft picks.

Marcin Gortat ‏@MGortat 34m
Hmmm im the only white boy left in this team))

HE CAN'T SHOOT. 4 years in the NBA and this has never changed.

he'll get easier looks and shots. is this really that hard for you to understand. the guy is going from having to be the 1st option, being the focus of other teams, and playing against the best wing defenders to a bench player. he'll be surrounded by better talent, counted on to do less, and play against other teams second units.

he'll be much better than he was in Philly. maybe not in terms of raw totals but definitely in terms of efficiency. and he'll be better than anyone Indy had in that position last year when they took Miami to 7 games.

great move all around for Indiana. and obvious tank move by Philly.

Is Mullens going to start in philly?

 

[VegetasHairline]

Wait, people are actually shytting on Hinkie?

Was he supposed to give Hawes and Turner the contracts they wanted, and nobody was willing to give up firsts for them. Bad teams don't want them either because they will want contract extensions this summer. He kept the best player of the trio, which is Young.

Seriously, Hinkie has done a better job rebuilding the Sixers in less than a year than everyone has combined since Allen Iverson was traded to Denver.

Dude I can't believe somebody actually wanted dude. He's like arguably the worst player in the league. And we got a 2nd rounder for him

What does any of that have to do with the fact that EVAN TURNER CAN NOT SHOOT THE BASKETBALL!?

Moultrie probably gets the starts
