Exclusive 2019 Trade Deadline Thread (2 Viewers)

The messed up thing is nearly all of us predicted that Neil would only make non-substantial moves that don't really affect the team all the much. Salary dumps, dumpster diving etc.

Yet we all got sucked in into hoping he does something more. Oh well.

I sincerely doubt that.

I still love you, Pruney.

 

[theprunetang]

Ladies, ladies....

You’re both right.

You’re both wrong.

Can’t we all just get along?

I'm not wrong, I'm just an asshole.

S2 posters: I miss Bob Whittsitt he always made trades.

Neil Olshey: (makes more trades than Trader Bob in less years)

I'm always (W)right. Born that way. My favorite thing about my surname.

That is sad. We all want to improve the team....and to give Dame a chance to be a contender.

It’s true.

As they say.... you are what you eat, my friend.

S2 Poster #1: I can't believe he never makes trades. Ever. Zero.

S2 Poster #2: Dude. He made a trade 2 days ago.

S2 poster #1: That one doesn't count because we didn't give up any important players.

S2 Poster #2: *bangs head against nearest wall until it bleeds just a bit*

 

[B-Roy]

Ah yes, how could we ever forget Noah Vonleh for a trade exception? Or the difference making Allen Crabbe for player we stretched? Great trades I must say.

S2 Poster #1 didn't actually say that.
S2 Poster #2 could save himself the headache.

The W was probably added to some distant ancestor’s surname because he was the Wrong Right.

There are many more. You are feigning ignorance.

^^^^ Everyone is untouchable except scrubs....because our core is unbeatable!

You're saying the wrong Right couldn't write right, so he wrote Wright wrong?

The sad part is the number of fans who have either given up hope or been brain-washed into being satisfied with minimal impact deals.

Who’s on first.

Not really

He has made 5 deals for impact players in his 7 years.

Rolo
Afflalo
Plumlee
Harkless (debatable)
Nurkic

And the most he has given up are future picks

NBA GM: Hey Neil, who are your untouchables, just for reference.

The sad part is the number of fans who have either given up hope or been brain-washed into being satisfied with minimal impact deals.

The sad part is the unrealistic expectations of fans for blockbuster deals at the deadline when they hardly ever happen.

 

[Schilly]

Neil Olshey = Wade Boggs (didnt hit many homeruns but managed to get on base a lot)

Bob Whitsitt = Sammy Sosa (hit home runs but had a bad overall average and ruined his reputation by not caring about chemistry)

What's the point of hitting singles if you never advance past first?

 

[B-Roy]

There are many more. You are feigning ignorance.

Ah yes, how could I forget Brian Roberts and a 2nd for cap space. Or Eric Maynor for a TPE? Oh yes, also Camby for Flynn and Thabeet. Great trades. Just brilliant.

Boggs has a ring.

Were you under a rock the past 24 hrs?

Harris got moved.
Barnes got moved.
Porter got moved.

Three guys who are legit starters who could have helped us.

 

[TBpup]

The sad part is the unrealistic expectations of fans for blockbuster deals at the deadline when they hardly ever happen.

Jimmy Butler
Paul George
Antony Davis (will happen at some point)
Porzingis
Harden
......these are some of the best players in the NBA. Maybe it would be more accurate to say...

Bluckbuster deals at the deadline hardly ever happen.....for the Blazers.

You keep bringing up the smallest most mundane trades, and purposely not mentioning the more impactful ones. It's silly.
