Everything RAPTORS 2015 Trade Deadline

[3inthekeon]

The two deals that have me puzzled:

Wolves trade Young for Garnett - Garnett is still a n excellent defender, but what is the thinking for Minny to trade an asset for nostalgia? Couldn't they have gotten a youngster or a draft pick for Thad?

Jazz trade Kanter/Novakr for Perkins, who they're planning to buy out? No draft pick{s}?

[Scraptor]

It's really too bad we couldn't sneak in there to snag Ennis, given that he was on the move. There were so many moving pieces it felt like we could have gotten something small done, but I guess we're rolling now with what we've got.

MIA is gunning now, they could be real trouble in the playoffs with Dragic and Whiteside.

Theres alota team gunnin for that 7 & 8 spot in the east. Heat, Pistons, Nets and Celtics got better. Pacers with PG back will be better. Damn, is this the best season in the history of professional sports or what?

and the probability Raps bounce in the first round was increased in a matter of a couple of hours.

We have to hope MCW busts in Milwaukee and we get them in the 1st round. The 7 seed is going to be tough no matter who ends up there, but my money is on Miami.

[mcHAPPY]

Damn... that was some powerful shit. Might start watching Breaking Bad now..


At the time? No. But I was just taught a valuable lesson by Joey and Walter.


I'm very intrigued but I'm wondering how they'll coexist. I guess if Jennings doesn't chuck, Jackson won't and vice versa.

Jennings really turned his game around after Josh Smith.

Small sample between that and his injury but I think SVG reaches him.

Jennings could also be traded.... so who knows? lol

Just catching up on the trade chatter.. so Miami got better (could be a tougher first round opponent for the Raps now). OKC should be better. Suns went from 5 PG's to 2.. and their starter is now Brandon Knight?? I thought they had a good executive, yikes.

Most underrated move is Houston getting McDaniels for basically free. And he's an RFA. That was the steal of the day.

Knight would back up Bledsoe, no?

There has to be more to the Jazz trade. I haven't found anywhere that says what they got in the deal other than Perk, who they're going to buy out. They must have gotten a couple 1sts, they valued Kanter very highly.

The Garnett/Young swap was because Young was opting out and leaving at seasons end, so they did a nostalgia move. They should have traded Young before the season when teams would have been willing to give up assets.

Knight would back up Bledsoe, no?

I think Knight starts at SG in Phoenix. Basically taking over Dragic's role.

[MACK11]

Knight would back up Bledsoe, no?

I think they'll continue with the 2 PG lineup

Man.. that would really suck lol but I doubt it. You're right about SVG reaching him. He's been defending Jennings the entire season.

Knight would back up Bledsoe, no?

Dual point guard lineup man. Where have you been? And Knight makes for a much better SG than PG

[Primer]

Big men expected to be bought out.

Javale McGee
Kendrick Perkins
Shawne Williams

Anyone I'm missing? Any interest in these guys on a vet min deal? I think any of them could help some, just in different ways.

[zulfi]

Did Masai talk to the press today? Thought he was suppose to come on at 3:30, but didn't see anything...

None would help if we kept the same defensive (hedge-central) approach.

I'd do McGee.

He will have money owed this year and next.

I'd sign him to minimum deal - this year and next.

Huge reward versus risk.

[planetmars]

Knight would back up Bledsoe, no?

I consider Bledsoe more of a SG. But yeah good point.

[Cody73]

I'd nab up Williams myself.
