Trade for Zach Lavine

Where does precedent come from?

There is a first for everything. And this isn't a court of law. Precedent doesn't mean jack.

not everything requires precedent, but precedent never means "jack." This is obvious to anybody with a hint of subtlety.
 
You want precedent.

Tracy McGrady was traded after his 3rd year in the league. at 20 years old. Lavine is 20 years old.


Boom! perfect expample. Next?

how do you think Toronto felt about that? What lessons do you think current GMs have learned about this example?
 
also, 3rd year isn't equal to 2nd year. You might need that reminder.

Good hell. I knew you'd try and use that.

Where does it end with you? How deep of hole are you willing to dig yourself?

You'll just sit here and transition from one meaningless argument to the next for no reason other than just to argue. It's pathetic.

NEWSFALSH!! You aren't making good points. The whole crux of your argument just got blown out of the water with the McGrady bomb. But now you want to spin it in other meaningless directions. just stfu bro and admit you were wrong.

His whole point was that the team that traded away TMAC regretted it, which made GM's think twice about making that kind of trade hence not one since. Even you have to admit this kind of trade doesn't happen often.

That's wasn't his argument. Go back further than just the last post.

So, I made an account on a Twolves fan board. Asked them about Lavine, and about trade possibilities. This is the response.

Favors has a lot of fans here. Myself included. That said, I highly doubt the Jazz would move Favors in a package that included Lavine unless a lottery pick would be included. I don't think the Wolves have that luxury. The deal with Lavine is that he has all of the physical attributes that could propel him to stardom, but his BBIQ is pretty low, and he's still functioning at a very fundamental level. He's a better/smarter player than he was last year, but he still makes an awful lot of bone-headed mistakes. We also play him out of position, partly out of necessity, and partly because the franchise feels that's the best way to develop those fundamental nuances. I'm personally a fan of Trey Lyles and Rodney Hood, and I would probably part with Lavine for either of those guys.

Thoughts?

you are a ****ing moron.

I asked a question about precedent, plain and simple.

you really are a ****ing moron.
 
Good to hear they like Trey Lyles. They also feel like most of us that Hayward isn't a #1 option but would be a great third option on a great team. They are very bullish on Favors.

Lavine>>> EXum


Id offer that to see if they would bite I doubt it..

If you can get LAvine for TRey Lyles and Hood then you no doubt have to pull that trigger. Lavine is a true combo guard. Lyles doesn't have a real position and Hood is nice young player but players like him are adime a dozen... Id try get Lavine and then id pull trades to get Jabari since he fits the culture of your city. Honestly Jazz fans you need to strip down most of your team. You got some trade value pieces but the pieces you have are not going to win anything. Not even good enough to get to the conference finals.. Need to strip this team while the players have good trade value.. Get a nice young team and let them grow together. Like OKC did when they first moved to okc. They had a young Durant, Russ, Harden, and Ibaka. All were young learning the pro game together. Got to get players who want to be in Utah also. This is hard since most people don't want to live in Utah. You Mormons love basketball. Timeto get a few on your squad. Id draft that Moore kid From Utah State. I think he will be a good bench player in the league
 
people thatthink Hood is better then Lavine is homerism at its best. Every GM in hoops would take Lavine over Hood BTW. Yet Hood is better. Comical

lol

I just read your post. You spelled alpha, alfa.

How would you know what one is? You don't even know how to spell it.
 
Cmon Cy. We already made so much progress with this. Don't throw it a way.

Not only are you wrong, about Hood over Lavine, but you choose to use LMAO, as if you are saying it's not close. It's not close the other way.

Think about it. Hood is good player, who isn't dynamic in any way. He doesn't possess the same kind of upside that Lavine does. Lavine is just as a good a shooter, but has far superior athleticism. That matters Cy. You can't say it doesnt. It's often what sets apart good players from great players.

Hood isnt dynamic? He is already one of the best PNR wings in the NBA and can defend positions 1-3. He has shown an increased ability to get to the FT line in the past month too.

I don't have LaVine, but he is a pure scorer and nothing else IMO. I don't think he ever reaches legitimate star status or all-star status. He is going to be a Jamal Crawford type.
 
I'm gonna go play and splash around in the Jabari Parker thread. Because it's fun to participate in the wanking of wondering about whether a young player, on a rookie contract, with good upside will somehow be dealt.... even though that ish never happens.

Maybe we can merge these threads? Mods?

Also Hood > LaVine

While youre at it, bump the "trade for Nik Stauskus" thread that probably exist somewhere.

hmmm. why would you ask if there is precedent? Is it because you were just curious, or because you were trying to imply that it hasn't been done, therefore it won't be done. We both know it's the latter.

Cmon man. You aren't gonna win arguments with constantly spinning your garbage. You actually believe you can try and pretend you meant something else. It's not going to work on me.

You and I both know what you meant. Stop it.
