NBA Trade Deadline & Rumors

[threattonature]

I really wonder what the asking price on Okafur was. Crazy to me that some team didn't take a flyer on him if all it took was a low first and an expiring. I'm not a big Okafur fan but shyt if you could get him for cheap why not. Same with Boogie and Noel (Noel I get since he's due for the extension).

He's NEVER averaged 25, 5, 5. You would think in this scorers league where with guys like IT averaging 30 and Westbrook averaging a 30 pt triple double that PG could average atleast 25 but he's not, especially since there are no other scorers on his team. And what superstar player has he defended well?

He averaged 23, 7 and 4 on a slow paced team last year. He's capable of averaging more. He also doesn't hunt for his shot nearly as much as those guys. Put him on a higher paced team he's easily averaging 27+.

The only superstar who gets off on Paul George consistently is Carmelo. Everyone else has a tough time scoring on him, especially in the clutch.

If Ainge was really win now, he should've taken the chance on PG. whoever he gets in this draft won't be that level of player, especially right away. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart aren't taking you anywhere. However, if Paul George wasn't signing long term, I see why he passed up the deal.

Derrick Rose gonna have a rude awakening this off season if he still thinks he's getting a max deal or anything close to it

 

[SchoolboyC]

They can do that after he's brought out by the Sixers

And that's assuming he doesn't find someone like Cleveland or San Antonio more enticing

Holy hyperbole batman...

You watch more college ball than most of this board but be honest about this.

Hell, D'angelo Russell at ohio state was doing what we've been seeing Fultz do at this level.

I've never been a fan of Russell. But I'm only 18 breh, the best players I've watched in college besides Fultz are Anthony Davis and Durant

I like the move for the Thunder makes em wayyy better. I hate the Thunder
Bulls are fukkin stupid, they should be in the top 5 of the lottery by now, with multiple picks
and young prospects already on the team if they woulda just tanked from the beginning

PG-13 is a damn great player.

But the Pacers were asking for too much (3 of Brown, Bradley, Crowder, Smart in addition to the 2017 Nets pick). Ainge made the right decision.

I'm pissed at Ainge for not getting Noel, especially since Colangelo's dumb ass moved him for virtually 2 second-round draft picks.

If that is all it took then Boston is retarded. None of those players are anything more than role players and the 2017 draft has no surefire superstars.

PG makes them a threat to the Cavs.

Really dumb move by Ainge if he turned that deal down.

 

[str8up]

NBA is about freakish athleticism or size.

Sorry but that dude is an average NBA player at best.

He can't even lead his college team to a .500 record and you think he'll be a problem in the NBA?

Fultz is an elite athlete though, not his fault Romar can't put talent around his 4 & 5* guys

 

[SchoolboyC]

I don't know why they making jokes. Neither of them winning shyt now.

Be happy and laugh about getting swept by the Cavs...again...brehs.

With this roster, Boston isn't lasting long enough to play Cleveland

 

[lutha]

only thing that surprised me about this deadline:

the clippers not trading for melo....with cp3 coming back very soon, the need for the fill in guards was no longer needed....and the knicks pretty much told them they could have melo for cheap....the min they got word cp3 was coming back, they shouldve been on the phone offering up the bench for melo...as of right now, the best they looking at is a second round exit....which is horrible for this team cause after this year, the shyt getting blown up....

 

[threattonature]

I can understand why Ainge would pass the deal up if they were demanding three of the four out of Smart, Bradly, Crowder, and Brown plus the Brooklyn first. That's a little too steep.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

All My Knickas still on board that Titanic ETHER

Rose & Melo still Knicks

Now make a push for the playoffs & ruin the tank

 

[Frump]

as long as the Nets pick and one Young player was in the deal I would have traded him to Boston if I was Bird

Now there gonna lose him to the Lakers for nothing.

That's what I'm saying. He joking and shyt...they getting bounced the 2nd round again.
