Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread

[illmatic99]

Both Deandre and Wessy will be waived I'm guessing.

At this point, I'd sign them just to prevent either from going to GS.

 

[Sarni]

Big fucking deal. Still a ridiculous steal for Dallas. They have a year to make Luka and KP work.

The Knicks drafted Ntilikina ahead of Dennis Smith!

Yeah it doesn’t matter. They basically got KP for next to nothing.

 

[hoopsjock]

At the very least the Blazers need to make a trade to clear a roster spot. This buyout market could get crazy.

At the very least they need to UPGRADE THE FUCKING ROSTER.

But yeah I agree.

Caleb/Wade + cash to SAC

The Knicks could be staring at $74.6M in projected cap space for next season. That would be good enough for 2 max slots.

 

[Sarni]

Knicks must have a good assurance from KD’s camp that he is coming there next Summer. There is no other explanation for this deal to have taken place.

There is still a week till the deadline geez

Such a massive risk though, but they might end up with the #1 pick and 2 max slots.

Using their one star to dump salary in hopes of signing FAs is just crazy given their ownership and how the league views them. Last time they had space, they dropped 70 mil + on Tim Hardaway Jr. Either they know something, or this is the Knicks being Knicks.

This deal makes me ill. The Mavericks have done more in less than a year than we have done in five.

 

[Sarni]

We really did not have any way to get on that deal though, why are people complaining? We could never give Knicks what Dallas gave them which is virtually cap space for next Summer and may have been the only thing they were interested in.

Deandre Jordan and Dennis Smith are solid players .....if you value defense. Smith was just a bad fit next to Luka

requirement: substantial single malt scotch every day till it passes....then one...or three... for old times

I highly doubt they will keep Deandre even for this season. He and Wessy will both be buyout candidates.

They drafted a PG one pick before Smith just last year! And then stuck him third in the rotation among their PGs to play Trey Burke and Mudiay instead. Such a stupid team.

While that is mostly true, there are ways around that if you are creative, like trading CJ to a team with expirings as a 3rd team. Would've been tough though.

 

[wizenheimer]

I won't let many opportunities to bash Olshey pass by, but there was just no room in this deal for Olshey to wedge his dumpster into and catch debris

 

[Jon]

What...your upset Neil didn't go after a guy with a bad knee.

no, just in general. he never does anything.

 

[illmatic99]

Yes, but I don't think trading CJ for essentially a year of KP is all that worth it.

 

[ripcityboy]

Yeah. We used up all our cap space with marginal players and taking on bad contracts. All that's gotten us are first round knockouts. If you don't think big in this league you go home. You can't be afraid of risk.

 

[hoopsjock]

Yes, but I don't think trading CJ for essentially a year of KP is all that worth it.

I'm not saying that is worth it, just that there are technically ways to get what NY wanted.

I could go for some Glenfiddich

Now your talking, baby! The good stuff!

 

[DollaBel]

I’m not mad Olshey didn’t get in on this trade, I’m mad more trades continue to happen and he continues to do nothing. I can’t even know that hes doing his fucking job when we haven’t made a legitimate move at all in years

 

[Scalma]

Stop bitching!

 

[Labinot41]

Porzingis 2020 Free agent?? Mhhhhhhh

Mason Plumlee for Nurkic and Collins...that is pretty legitimate

 

[illmatic99]

Stop bitching!

I'm all for trashing Neil but this is one deal where I don't think I wanted us getting involved on either side.

 

[CupWizier]

Has anyone checked to see if Neil is actually still alive?

so you blame Olshey and 28 other teams didn't make an offer?

 

[Scalma]

I’m not mad Olshey didn’t get in on this trade, I’m mad more trades continue to happen and he continues to do nothing. I can’t even know that hes doing his fucking job when we haven’t made a legitimate move at all in years

His biggest moves to upgrade the roster in the last two years (since Nurk) was signing Seth Curry and Nik Stauskas.

Tell me I’m wrong
