Event The OFFICIAL Trade Deadline thread

[BlazerCaravan]

I hope this ends up being the Buck Williams trade part II.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Was never really worried. He is gonna get big minutes.

Oh yeah. 14 minutes at the 2, 14 minutes at the 3? That's plenty of good minutes.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Jay Mohr declares that the Blazers are absolutely the big winners of the trade deadline.

 

[illmatic99]

So a summary of significant player movement as I see it:

-Dragic to MIA
-Brandon Knight to PHX
-Isaiah Thomas to BOS
- Michael Carter Williams to MIL
-Afflalo to POR
-Reggie Jackson to DET
-Kanter to OKC
-Thad Young to BKM
-KG to Minny

Did I get everything?

Wow quite a bit of last minute movement.

MCW to Bucks I believe

We are, we got the best player (Besides Dragic) for a reasonable price and we have flexibility to watch the Waiver line now with an open spot.

 

[illmatic99]

Done.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Why the hell did the T-Wolves move an actual good player for 30 games of reunion tour KG?! KAHN?!?!?!?!

 

[KingSpeed]

Lopez was our BW trade.

 

[illmatic99]

WTF, how did the Rockets end up with KJ McDaniels?! The kid has some game, but is an unrestricted FA this summer

Then I hope this is the Barkley trade that never happened.

 

[Blazinaway]

I gotta LOL that one

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Hahahahahahaha stop! No way! Hahahahahahahahaa

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He is good but they have officially mortgaged their future. They're now gonna be hitched to the core of Harden/Howard/Ariza with very little assets.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

They're hoping to sell new KG jerseys to the 8 remaining season ticket holders they have.

 

[craigehlo]

The Timberwolves are just messing with us now. Might as well sign Sprewell while they are at it.

I hope they sign Starbury and Ricky Davis too.

How about JR Rider?

 

[Sedatedfork]

JR Rider and Szerbiack and then you have a squad.

Edit: it's a double rainbow!

 

[BalancedMan]

Gosh, I won't say we overpaid, especially if Afflalo steps it up, but this was a crazy trade deadline, craziest I can remember. Phoenix went from having 5PGs and traded away three of them (Dragic, Ennis, Thomas), last year's ROY gets traded in MCW...nuts. I haven't fully analyzed how everything will shake out, but Phoenix is looking like they're giving up for the year, and Philly is hella committed to tanking. In the draft I remember them talking about drafting Elfred Peyton and trading MCW, but now who the hell is going to play in the backcourt for them.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

No worries about OKC. They'll find a way to fuck it up. After all, they still have ballhog Westbrick.

I liked Szczerbiak

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

wtf? double posts? I blame SPD.

What does the Salem Police Department have to do with this?

 

[BalancedMan]

I think that OKC are the winners of trade deadline day. They got rid of a malcontent inefficient volume shooter who they might have had to overpay as a restricted free agent, and in return got back Kanter, who's also an RFA but good and they traded small for big which is tough to do. In addition, they pick up DJ Augustin who's probably one of the better backup PGs in the league given his play the last two seasons, and Singler, who can shoot, which never hurts.

They now have 5 SOLID bigs in Adams/Ibaka/Kanter/Collison/McGary, and can always go small with Durant at the 4 if they want with Morrow or Singler at the 3 to space things out. They still have the enigma that is Perry Jones. Oh and there's Westbrook of course.

If you look at PER and other advanced metrics, it really looks like OKC made a hell of a trade. I'm concerned about them for when they make the playoffs.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I liked Szczerbiak

I thought it was funny how the media fully expected Wally to dominate Pippen and then Pippen showed everyone why the Blazers acquired him. I expected him to be better in the NBA. Meh, some hit and some don't.

Reggie Jackson was a PG that pushed tempo and kept the offense clicking when Westbrook was injured. Calling him a volume shooter isn't accurate to his role in the OKC system at all.

Kanter is a fairly solid C, but his defense is nothing special, which is their biggest need there.

OKC is talented, but I don't see this as a major upgrade/downgrade.
