NBA trade deadline discussion thread 2015

[Kang Deezy]

As a Celtic fan I do not think Lawson or Cousins is going to happen in the next few days

I do think the celtics are and will continue to pursue cousins and wouldn't be at all shocked to see the celtics get cousins at some point in the next year, just not this week

I also do not think this team has any interest in Kanter... If he wasn't up for a new contract after this season it'd probably be different

However I do think the Celtics have real interest in Isiah Thomas and he is a possibility to be traded here for some combination of Marcus Thornton and picks

He's an excellent fit for this team and an ideal 6th man / 3rd guard

Joe Johnson

Hed be good in our system though. I see this move being one that'll help KCP (that boy has confidence issues) and especially if SVG has no plans to keep BJ next summer or if it's that obvious BJ wants to go to LAL next summer.


Either way, Joe's $ is off the books next summer. Dont know what that'd mean for Monroe this summer.


Also convinced SVG sees Jameer in Augustin. Mainly the height, light skindedness and wearing #14.\


Shoulda drafted MCW

an all star talent and a 1st rounder is pretty crazy for a rental

All-star talent for a guy that will never make the all-star team

MCW on the Pistons?

They would have been in the same situation with him that they were with Smith, MCW cannot shoot, he needs a team of shooters around him to be effective.

I mean the universe can't give you what you want unless you put it out there

The Trail Blazers are reportedly the team the most likely to land Arron Afflalo by the trade deadline.
While Afflalo has been linked to the Kings, the Heat, the Thunder, and the Clippers, the Trail Blazers are reportedly the team with the most attractive assets to offer. Afflalo is also currently in a contract year, and the fact that he'll have the ability to walk during the offseason, may result in Denver being forced to come down a bit on their current asking price of a first-round draft pick. Afflalo would likely step into a Sixth Man role with Portland, and his value would take a hit.

From the aspect of a PG to mold. I like KCP a lot but I don't love him. If KCP had Meeks confidence If Meeks had KCP's untapped potential

You traded knight for Jennings and now Jennings is rumored to bounce? Future wise Id want MCW over DJ

Feels good to not need a trade.

The NBA should copy soccer, make the trades allowed during specific time windows only, give em a 1 month window from Jan to Feb to do trades, and July - Sept in the offseason.

it's kinda like that anyway given how contracts are structured.

I like that I say 1 month during season and 1 month post season it would be exciting
