Trade Deadline: Feb 9 @ 3:00 p.m ET

[THE HCP]

Nets landed two starting caliber players, multiple picks, reduced their tax burden by about 30 mil while removing a malcontent.

this is a win for Sean Marks before they even play a minute of bball

If NOT making the playoffs is the goal….then YES it is a “win”.

 

[THE HCP]

By him do you mean Finney-Smith, Dinwiddie or one of the three guys the Nets might draft with those picks?

No he’s talking about arguably the best PG or top 3 PG in the game going to Dallas. Man, Luka is liking this. He’s able to take some plays off finally.

 

[Strenuus]

Lakers fans right now…. lol

Yeah. How are you feeling about this?

 

[Strenuus]

Cuban has the balls I wish Blazers management had.

I laugh every single time you show a lack of common sense.

And I have laughed A LOT.

 

[Strenuus]

You dint wait for teams to be sellers you make them sellers. Just like Dallas did out of nowhere.

Wasn't out of nowhere. they were rumored from the start.

Good try though.

 

[Strenuus]

How did Dallas make the Nets a "seller"? That certainly seems like a contrived scenario, given the facts.

Kyrie literally said he wanted to be traded. Lmao "make them Sellers" like at least pretend. Can't believe a theory like that was actually broached by some one lmao.

 

[Hoopguru]

Wasn't out of nowhere. they were rumored from the start.

Good try though.

a number of teams were but most the hype was around two teams, not Dallas. Cuban was aggressive.

Tremendous offense, but very little defense. They may try to add something to that side by Thursday. Blazer fans can help Mav fans out with how amazing offense with no D works out.

And you praised balmer.

Who are you going to be a fan of next? You're running out of teams.

When we're just talking about ball. Yeah, Kyrie is one of the best players in the league. I think him and Dame are at a very similar level of play. That being said, he's a hard teammate for people to count on. He both has drama away from the game and has a history of having a hard time with teammates. As I said earlier I think he is a disruptive presence on a roster. So the talent and skill level is undeniable but do the Mavs have the kind of guys to get the most out of Kyrie. LeBron did but LeBron is one of the greatest leaders in the history of the game.

I knew who @Cugel was talking about and I disagreed. Due to the baggage that Kyrie has I think two starting players, an unprotected first round pick and two second rounders was an overpay, not because Kyrie isn't worth that when he's playing his best and not having drama, just because he hasn't seemed to be able to stay away from the drama and by drama I mean things that take him off the court or cause real problems between him and teammates.

I just want to make sure I have this, the Nets trade a week before the deadline and it is a great trade. Joe does it last year and he is a idiot for not waiting and getting a better deal. Do I have that right?

Oh I didn’t say it was a good trade or if it will work or not, I’m just saying they now have 2 of the best 5 guards in the league playing together.

Lol. It's so easy but I'll digress.

[THE HCP]

Crazy i don’t see ANY threads on here dedicated to any trades, or rumors or the deadline itself. Strange. Anyhow, here it is FAMS! #BAM

 

[wizenheimer]

No he’s talking about arguably the best PG or top 3 PG in the game going to Dallas.

Curry
Dame
Morant
SGA

Harden
Haliburton
Jrue
Fox
Young

Kyrie? maybe top-5, but maybe not, as long as you don't count Doncic as a PG. But he has more baggage than any of them, and his main talent might be disruption of teams with his selfish ignorant bullshit

Oh I didn’t say it was a good trade or if it will work or not, I’m just saying they now have 2 of the best 5 guards in the league playing together.

ok then, now it's the top-5 of all guards. You might want to go top-10 instead of top-5

Curry
Dame
Morant
SGA
Jalen Brown
Donovan Mitchell
Devin Booker

[THE HCP]

Nope just talking talent….not measuring hate towards a player. Just acknowledging the talent level. So you’re saying he’s the 10th best PG?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Oh boy now I can just get all the info in one thread! What a great idea!

 

[Chris Craig]

Well, the Sun's alienated Chris Paul. He's not going to be happy to hear he was almost shipped out.

read better

I said he might be a top-5 PG. But he is NOT top-5 among all guards

 

[THE HCP]

There’s a reason Denny pays me to post here. Oh snap, you’re a rookie. GOOGLE who Denny is and get back to me son.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Or is this just a way for you to figure out who has you on ignore?

 

[e_blazer]

Is this the thread where all trade proposals have to include Carmelo and show him in a fuzzy photo wearing a hoodie?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

This is funny!

 

[Cugel]

That will be some offensive duo, at least until their season is over. I hope they have some games televised.

 

[KingSpeed]

I just fail to see how such too ball dominant players are going to make it work.

Same way Kyrie/LeBron worked.

 

[Tince]

There it is AGAIN…”LOL”
Do you have an LOL button on your keyboard?

LOL
