The Wiz tankathon begins. Also, every player in that trade has a 6-letter name that starts with P. I had to do a double-take.

Re: 2019 NBA Trade Deadline
They just got themselves is a great position to build a big three next summer. They are looking at less than $74M entering the offseason counting KP's cap hold of $17M. Very good move for them.
As for the Kings, they are just two games ahead of LAL, but assuming LAC drops, I doubt Barnes moves the needle enough to make the playoffs if LeBron is healthy. Don't like it for them, especially because they are helping a competitor next season for the playoffs.

Re: 2019 NBA Trade Deadline
The Kings can never get out of their own way. They had a solid young team that was playing well together and from what I'm reading the lockerroom was in shock because Iman, Jackson and ZBo were well liked and it was a close group. I kind of like the Barnes addition because he's a very underrated scorer and they need that in the lineup. He gives them some versatility at the 3/4 but it remains to be seen how this affects the team's chemistry.

Also we are getting some stats guy from Miami’s front office. I don’t know how to put tweets on here via phone to show it but I fully expect to read about a trade including a row of Honey Buns from the Miami vending machine next

Mirotic to Milwaukee.
Are we even fucking trying? Is anybody in the office? Or does James Jones strictly work to do favors for other teams and players.

Re: 2019 NBA Trade Deadline
There is zero point to trading for Mirotic. He’s an unrestricted free agent. 11 win teams don’t make 30 game rental trades. That would be very dumb.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:54 amMirotic to Milwaukee.

Jason Smith and Stanley Johnson. I feel like that is an underwhelming haul

Re: 2019 NBA Trade Deadline
You get a chance to evaluate his fit with Ayton for the rest of the year and resign him. I would absolutely be for it. What is the point of waiting? What are we waiting for? They got him for a bag of dicks. I’m sure Sarver has plenty of those sitting around to offer.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:56 amThere is zero point to trading for Mirotic.
