It never gets old indeed.

It never gets old indeed.

Take it as a compliment. The Nets made an astute move and we are envious!

Another nice game, 13/17, 34 points 6 assists, and they beat the Jazz. Go Nets!

Welcome to sportstwo! It's much nicer than that stinky old ripcitytwo.

Devin Harris sucks.

Nets are helping the Blazers by dropping Utah and Phoenix to 11-7.

Devin Harris sucks.

If he sucks to the tune of 47/7/8, I'm okay with it.

you're welcome

 

[B-Roy]

you're welcome

Now if you'd kindly drop a game to us......

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It would seriously suck to be a Mavs fan right about now.

This is turning out to be exactly like the Jermaine Oneal for Dale Davis deal.

 

[Minstrel]

Selfish stats that hurt the team. Yes, he sucks. He'll never be on a champioship-level team.

Yeah, shame that the Blazers didn't have a declining, former star to offer Dallas last season. Would have been nice to steal him.

There were some on BBF that thought the Blazers shouldn't even trade Harris for Jack. Speaking of which, where is that trash talking thread strter? Ignoring your own thread?

kingspeed has retracted that statement.

 

[Drink Your Milkshake]

kingspeed has retracted that statement.

Only to un-retract it. This thread is evidence of that.

he retracted it after he started this thread, I believe. But he did so somewhere else.

 

[Claud]

47/7/8 against Nash in Phx.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dallas fans must be pissed. That's the second PG that they have let go only to watch him become a superstar with his new team. I'd be horrified.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Will
Not
Die.

 

[CutTheCheck]

Anyone still think KingSpeed overreacts?

Dude, chill out.

 

[Drink Your Milkshake]

Checkmate

 

[HOWIE]

Checkmate

Classic!

Kenny Vance was re-visiting the Devin Harris trade on Wheels' show tonight that we turned down last season. Ugh, I wish we had done it.
We would've gotten rid of Jarrett, Travis and Channing for Devin Harris. What a steal that looks like now.

I think KP is affraid to make a significant in-season trade. I think it's his big flaw as a GM.

I was a HUGE fan of that trade proposal. I really wanted to snag Devin Harris somehow.

However, as I recall the price also included our 1st rounder and cash. I assume that was probably the asset KP was reluctant to part with.

Now the price was starting to get pretty steep, but I was still willing to consider, as I thought Harris was the point we needed long term. I thought "overpaying" would not be ideal, but would be ok in this situation as we had assets that were going to expire in value soon, ie, Jack and Channing. Tossing in a couple of those as throw-ins means little if you hang on to them and let them turn to pumpkins anyway.

So, with our 1st rounder added it would have been effectively, Travis, Channing and Bayless for Harris.

Yet, that exact 3-team trade would not have happened. It would have had to have been re-worked as George used his trade clause to kill the first 2-team trade between Dallas and NJ.
