Woj-cast

[SwissBlazer]

Scalabrine is ruining the show. Absolute crap.

 

[TBpup]

Guessing Fes goes

It seemed from what they said that that was the most likely possibility.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

In plain english: Paul George was never really available. Neither was Jimmy Butler.

Bird: We want to do to you what you did to the Nets.
Ainge: No thanks!

WHAT A DEAL

 

[TBpup]

 

[Nate]

I wanted McDermott....

 

[Nate]

And Noel....

 

[TBpup]

 

[TBpup]

^^^^...this is where Olshey could come in last minute if no one else has.

 

[TBpup]

Marks: A lot of deals won't get announced until 12:30-12:45 even though it ends in a couple of minutes.

 

[TBpup]

Yawn......

 

[TBpup]

DAMN!!!

 

[TBpup]

Deadline!!!! Turn in your paperwork.

 

[barfo]

So, if we'd successfully signed Hibbert a couple years back, we could have traded him today for a 'heavily protected 2nd round pick'?

Woj reporting that Celtics will make no big moves.

 

[TBpup]

Woj: TOR getting Ibaka and PJ Tucker has really made upgrades on defense heading in to the stretch run.

Olshey on The Vertical Trade Deadline Show acting like all is good.....although he did drop a very quick, 'some of this is on me'.

What's the deal with Paul hiring GMs who are fucking IN LOVE with their players?

Part of the buck stops here?

Olshey: We are undersized in our back-court. We have some length on the wings but Aminu is smaller. We are loaded with shooters (really?) so we needed a physical presence. Stotts is comfortable with this type of player like what we had with Lopez. We have the youngest roster in the league and a lot of depth. We are probably closer to the team we thought we would be than where we are now.

Woj: Okafor didn't get moved and you got Nurkic a week ago. Did getting that deal done early maximize your value?

Olshey: When the deal is there and it's fair for both teams, you make the move. Tim and I in Denver like doing business together. As Bobby said, we don't have as much flexibility in Free Agency. Sometimes holding out for more is an opportunity cost of missing out entirely. I think Tim and I maximized the value of what we were both able to get.

I'm sure Tim in Denver likes doing business with Neil. He has taken him to school.

Unless the curse of big men's knees on the Blazers continues then hard to see that happening this time.
