What the heck?! Green and Bass for Asik!? Ainge tryna tank for real. Take Marshon & Keith Bogans for Asik.

Right, because we would want Marshon and Bogans.

Put the crayons downs.

to be fair, I saw a Knicks fan in here earlier today say they could trade Felton, Shump, and Jr for Rondo

milwaukee needs to give Giannis Antetokounmpo as much time as possible

 

[stopcappin]

Cavs will be the 7th seed and play Miami first round. For some odd reason things work out like that

Little homie in the Lamb jersey.

Dude is hot right now. 15.0 points in 26.0 minutes per over his last three. 65.5/60.0/100.0 percents.

And Brooks pulled him for Fisher tonight...

[awwsome]

I swear you could let anyone of us in this thread coach the Thunder and we can get 60 wins. Brooks just fell into the best situation possible, he's not a good coach.

 

[kevin cleveland]

Lamb is shooting 48.7/41.1/100.0 on the season. Pretty damn good for a 21-year-old wing.

He needs to get to the line more, but the dude can quite literally score from anywhere.

Totally didn't look at his shot chart before I typed that, but...

And his worst spot is a typically pretty high-percentage one, so that's even kind of fluky.

Brooks will be the downfall of that team. The man makes no sense.

[do work son]

Beverly has put the clamps on steph curry twice in the last week though

We need him to just know his role, feed our scorers, catch and shoot, and defend. Dassit.

Dwight still not getting nearly enough touches smh. And honestly, his post game has looked better as of late.

 

[pepperjackchees]

Beverly is a good piece, especially since he's in the backcourt with a high IQ player.

 Why does't Montejunias get more burn? Does he just suck?

But the harden trade was the "worst trade ever"..


1 year of Kevin Martin, and we now have a trade exception.. Jeremy lamb and steven Adams... And then whatever we get with the Dallas draft pick..

Also throw in whatever happens with Alex abrines

As far as D-Mo, hes just never consistently takes advantage of his opportunity when he does get playing time. Plus McHale values defense (even though their D is up and down), and D-Mo is pretty weak on that end.

It still was a top 10 player in the league for a bunch of rotation guys, they signed two people to major contracts who are nowhere near as good as him (Perkins and Ibaka) and it wasnt a traded they NEEDED to make. It was a trade they wanted to make to save money under the guise of poverty when the Thunder are one of the most popular teams in the league and bring in a ton of money. It was a terrible trade.

 

[noblekane]

im sick and tired of pau gasols complain and lazy *** soft garbage play...


llama looking ****.... we should trade that llama boy for a couple of pandas or koalas....

Again, because I've said this numerous times in here.. By no means do I think what happened was what should have happened or been done..

But numerous people have said "the worst trade ever", when we have no clue what the true outcome of the trade will be.. Plus there are some pretty bad trades out there that are pretty difficult to top



My stance is and has always been that maybe we should see how lamb, Adams and whatever comes from the Dallas pick pans out

And just for the record, Perkins was signed just after he was traded for (so that decision was made prior to ibaka and harden).. But I do think they should have amnestied him

The thunder tried to sign both ibaka and harden, continuing to negiotate with harden after ibaka signed (which, considering what big men make is a reasonable deal).. The thunder came within 4-6 mill of the max they could have offered and harden wanted a no trade clause if I remember correctly

 

[IATT]

also, we have to factor in what the true trade market was for harden at the time..

although some of us, especially okc fans saw a ton of potential in harden.. and saw how well he worked on this team (in spite of brooks not playing him enough), with his ability to facility the offense allowing westbrook to play off the ball.. how well he worked in the pick n roll with collison.. his ability to draw fouls.. his efficiency on the offensive end

but of the rumors we have heard, the wizards werent willing to part with the 3rd pick (which turned out to be bradley beal).. golden state wanted us to take on biedrens contract with klay.. and no clue what happened with the raptors and jonas (the rumor just said he was asked for and nothing further)

 

[do work son]

Morey saw Masai trade Rudy Gay, and is trying to one up him by getting green and bass. If he pulls that off, gotta be gm of the year

 

[IATT]

ummmmmmm.. anyone else see this?

soo jeremy lamb, two first round picks and perkins.. for afflalo

i like afflalo.. and i would love to get rid of perkins (although he only has 1 more year).. but ummm lamb AND two 1st rounds picks 

 

[buc em]

It's supposebly a three team deal between the Rockets, Sixers and Celtics. I'm not sure who would be getting who but it sound like the main pieces involved would be Asik, Jeff Green, Bass, Evan Turner and somebody taking on Gerald Wallace's contract in exchange for the Celtics 1st rounder this year.

 

[noblekane]

Brandon bass is just average

Didnt he lose with dwight in the finals?

Wheres jeff green gonna play?

Rockets need to rethink this trade.

Hold out for andersen or a finesse power forward

Hell take pau. Just gives us a second rounder and expiring contracts...

 

[do work son]

We get rid of one player who doesn't want to play, and get back two guys who both fill needs for us.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Lebron + Wade for Rondo + Wallace + Humphries
