OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

For all the moves, nice ones, I'm not convinced the Rockets are more than a treadmill team.

Lin/Harden/Carol/TRob/Asik doesn't normally beat OKC, the Clips, Memphis or the team the Jazz is putting together.

I think they end up getting a 4 in free agency.

Heat made it to the Finals their first year and won in the second.

Celtics made it in their first year.

Yes Lakers kept their superstar player Kobe that is kind of a given

Stability is what got Jazz their championship right?

Basketball does not need stability it needs good players. Other sports stability is valuable, not basketball. Look at what one and done players do in college.

But for those teams, the players jobห were never in doubt. You hardly hear about any of the players being in trade rumors.

With Morey it's different. He has a reputation now. If I'm a player, I don't like playing for a GM where I have to look over my shoulders each time a trade deadline rolls around. It won't make me want to give it 100%.
 
That is to say, if they let Delfino and Honeycutt go in the summer, they'll still have 10 players under contract taking up only about $40mm of cap space. Of those 10 players, 4 are key pieces (Lin, Harden, Parsons, Asik) and the other 6 are cheap, young, high uspide, easily tradeable players (Robinson, Jones, Montiejunas, Smith, Machado, White). Those 6 easily tradeable young players make a combined $9 893 645 next season. Houston can make a play for Dwight or Bynum.

Maybe but I think there are very few professionals who half *** it because they might be traded. I think they play hard to either win, get more money or be considered a great player.

Why did Sac do the trade. Please bring some sanity to this.

I think Millsap has been half-assing it all season if I'm completely honest wit-choo. It wasn't until last couple of months that he started taking it seriously.
