2018-19 Trade Rumours and Discussion - Deadline February 7th 2019

[Zainab]

Bucks countered the Sixers move by getting Mirotic, the Raptors countered it by getting Marc Gasol. I love the NBA.

[magoon]

Atlanta supposedly isn't buying out any of their players, but I doubt that'll last past the moment a team comes to a quiet understanding with one of those players.

With eleven slots filled (assuming the team signs Boucher, which seems likely since they're high on him), my buyout targets would be Jeremy Lin (playmaking, shooting the three), one of Wayne Ellington or Vince Carter (solid at everything, can shoot the three), Zach Randolph (PF meatiness, knows Gasol like the back of his hand) and one of Robin Lopez or Marcin Gortat (big, dirty centers).

That roster would be three deep at almost every position, have loads of veterans and basketball IQ, have a respectable amount of perimeter shooting and be vicious on defense.

[Zainab]

So I guess both our Itty Bitty Baller and CJs PJs are now collectors’ items...

[Zainab]

Working on other potential buyout deals I’m sure...

Morris has a spinal injury and has and has been able to go through all non-contact drills, but can't compete in contact. Can't risk taking any hits to his back or neck. No timetable on a return, just supposed to be re-evaluated after the All-Star break. https://t.co/d2qwUIaDzQ

In case anyone was thinking about markieff as a buy out candidate...

And we all thought CJ had broken the curse. The curse was just trolling.

Pau, Chandler, Zach, Ellington:

Pau would be a nice pickup to be the Greg Monroe and get to play with his brother once (hopefully win a championship). I would love Ellington too.

So if we assume
Bucks
Raps
Sixers
Celtics
Who won the last trade week, not day?

[Zainab]

adds to the bizarre legend of longtime raptors last moment in a jersey:
vince - holding his leg
bosh - holding his face
derozan - ejected
jv - holding his mangled thumb https://t.co/rbkz3kun4j

this is funny

Truly though -- Fuck Draymond Green. I wonder -- if JV had remained healthy and we didn't have this terribly underwhelming stretch we've had since then... If JV had continued to play and we continued to dominate as we did when he was with us through the beginning of the season, would this trade have seemed necessary? Would it have happened today? While The Shao-nd and The Fury would no doubt still be pounding their drums... I'm not convinced.

[Raptor Jesus]

That was a fun team.

[Primer]

We only have six guys left from last year.

I miss Greg Stiemsma.
