A Change Is Gonna Come - Official NBA Trade Thread

[manyfaces]

I know but people acting like it was some ridiculous trade lol

Just shows how thirsty we were for some trade deadline action

Well I can only speak for me and other fans of the team, I think we understand this isn't a blockbuster move, but it should help this team quite a bit in the playoff push this season as well as give us a nice young core to grow together. Plus if we saw illyasova pumpfake out of another open shot somebody was gonna make the call to have Trick Trick and the Goon Squad stomp this nikka out for putting his own jumper in the no fly zone

It is not possible to do more than Van Gully did in not even two years with this team.

Man if he fukk around and get Ryan Anderson in the off season

Should probably be GM of the year.

You can make the argument that he came out ahead on that Reggie Jackson deal to

Man he got Jackson for DJ Augustin, Kyle Singler & two 2nd round picks

 

[#1 pick]

Whoever gets him has to know he'll re-sign, Toronto seems like a place he'd go. Don't know what the cap is looking like for yall tho

He will, that's why Atlanta asking for an elite package which Toronto don't even have to offer.

They were over the cap and Jackson wasn't playing good and a malcontent. They got him on discount

And considering Tobias just signed that $64m/4-year deal - Pistons made out like a thief in the night with the cap going up.

Buy low...Thats what a GM should do and its been working out so far.

We saw how the opposite philosophy worked with Dumars later years. He was all about buy high/sell low. Got rid of some solid players on rookie contracts to overpay vets that didn't fit together.

Orlando got hosed, I get they want to open up minutes for other players but at least get some kind of long term piece

Couldn't even get a couple 2nd rounders?

It's not even a salary dump cause they got Ersan for another year so they only ended up opening up like 6 million

Jennings won't be back, only way this makes any sense is if they can move Jennings before the deadline for something... Trade him to Knicks for Calderon and something

Ersan's 2nd year is a team option.

 

[Danie84]

Tobias to Detroit

...Stan gotta core

Blake for Love; Coli should do anover/under

 

[Danie84]

Memphis bout to blow it up?

Dubs 50 point blowout was the end of their chapter

I guess that's a good thing but I still don't understand Orlando on this...

They should have gotten something that could help them long term, Pistons wouldn't include dinwiddle?
