I hate how the discussion is so focused around the number of picks and there is no real discussion of pick quality.

Don't know about you guys, but I was promised yesterday this would be done today or tomorrow.

It will be. It will be today or tomorrow. Guaranteed.

Has there actually ever been a time where a star player was up for trade and it dragged out and the team ultimately traded him for less than what they could have gotten?

I always hear narratives about how such and such player's trade value is going to fall if he's not moved soon, but it never seems to actually pan out that way and the team trading the star always gets a massive return after waiting.

Good question... can't think of a great example. Harden they kind of pushed back and they ended up making some moves that didn't cost them per se... the return wasn't amazing there.

Not sure... the bad returns in star trades go back to like Vince Carter, Alonzo Mourning, Charles Barkley... There might be examples of guys that are on the block and didn't get traded that should have... nothing comes to mind.

It's my Tinder strategy. Trust me, it works.

We kind of have been discussing that. Knicks unprotected picks are the single biggest asset I want... if those get protections or are lessened then the package gets a lot worse.

I don't like Quickley that much. He was pretty bad against the Jazz this past year. I'd go for Toppin and Grimes and maybe take a flyer on Reddish.

It will be today before yesterday in a fortnight or a postnight.

Shams said basically the same yesterday and all the responses were sad and angry faces. Now Woj says this today (along with a note about the Jazz having leverage, very likely simply carrying water for the Jazz FO), and everyone is liking this evaluation?

Guess I see why front offices are so happy to cooperate with Woj if one little subtle (speculative and clearly working-for-one-side) remark changes everyone's moods.

I liked it because I appreciate the info...
