OKC Traded Reggie Jackson...

[Robz4000]

:lmao for Dion Waiters

[024]

:lol Waiters

[spurtech09]

are you serious?

[Chomag]

lmao wtf is this 3-way trade even about!?! These teams cant be this stupid....err can they?
(posted downstairs from me)

[jermaine]

Dumbest move since letting Harden go. Lmmfao

[Andthentherewas21]

Looks like a three team trade

OKC: Waiters
Cavs: J.R. Smith and Shumpert
Knicks: ???

[Robz4000]

Actually, Woj saying Jackson wasn't included...

[Chomag]

I would totally think if a friend told me this that they would be totally Bsing me but alas...you cant even make this shit up! lmao

[jermaine]

Lord please let this go down. Jackson kills the spurs every night.

[Andthentherewas21]

Wonder what OKC is giving up if not Jackson

[jermaine]

Its on Nbatv right now. It's definitely true.

[NASpurs]

Mumm-ra was a Spurs killer, this is fucking great :lmao

[baseline bum]

Did Cleveland really trade for Friend Killer? Holy fuck

[spurtech09]

Looks like a three team trade

OKC: Waiters
Cavs: J.R. Smith and Shumpert
Knicks: ???so cavs get smith and shumpert.......go figure

[Chomag]

Retarded east teams just being retarded east teams, they got lucky and found a equally as dumb West team to make this happen.

[hater]

The cav team gets even more bizarro.

Still the sad thing is in the weak east they will still make the finals :pctoss

[NASpurs]

So Jackson isn't going anywhere? :lol Oh well.

[Mugen]

Looks like Reggie is staying in OKC and the Thunder got Waiters for an exception.

[spurtech09]

the nba is so desperate to make cavs a contender again.......doesn't surprise me.....LeBron james store bought championships

[hater]

But like I said in the other thread as long as Hardon doesn't somehow end up in OKC I don't think spurs need to worry about it :lol

[HI-FI]

Shit, I was hoping that Capt. Phillips nig was traded.


But like I said in the other thread as long as Hardon doesn't somehow end up in OKC I don't think spurs need to worry about it
cosigned.

[Robz4000]

Yep, Meth kept the Somalian while getting Waiters with their TE. Still, they'll be trading a couple players to get below the luxury tax.

[Chomag]

And just here today you guys were saying that NY wasnt stupid to make silly trades anymore...

We should sneak Daye and Errors by them while they are in the mood.:lol

[Mugen]

Waiters is garbage. Hopefully he takes away time from Perry Jones tbh.

[SpursFan86]

552266800579485697

Replacing Reggie Jackson with Waiters would be great (for us), but I'm not getting my hopes up. As of now it seems the only confirmed piece OKC is giving up is Lance Thomas to the Knicks.

[Chomag]

Comical aint it? Truth is Lebron took some time off from playing to fill his GM duties.

[cjw]

All these guys stink, though either has to have been something GM Lebron insisted on or Waiters was that unbearable where they swapped Smith in for him.

Surprised to see OKC spending for once - this puts them squarely into the luxury tax so they may shed some bodies.

Cleveland meanwhile gets $10 million in deals expiring next year ... could be used to trade for an impact guy at that point.

[Ice009]

Just wasted my time coming into this thread. Kind of upset that he wasn't traded now.

Did you guys jump the gun, or was he reported to have been earlier in the piece?

[DMC]

Regedit in trade talks could shake him enough to make him Lamar Odom himself a bit.

[100%duncan]

Robz to the Lefty road tbh. Too early for the thread nigga

[baseline bum]

What's silly? New York's season is over and they dumped two shit players and their salaries.

[Mugen]

Yeah, the Knicks made out like bandits in this trade tbh. Especially if they get a 1st rounder somehow.

[Chomag]

He was reported in the trade in the early reports

[cd98]

Wow...looks like Thunder get Waiters and don't give up Jackson. That's highway robbery for you.

[100%duncan]

Doesn't matter who the knicks get, this is a step towards something good.

[SpursFan86]

It appears OKC is just giving up Lance Thomas and a 1st round pick and getting Waiters in return.

Don't see Waiters being a good fit for them, but I guess we'll see. Westbrook/Waiters together in particular would be pretty lolworthy.

[cd98]

Waiters has been good on offense even though he is an egomaniac. That said, the Thunder had no offensive firepower on that bench when they put Jackson in the starting lineup, now they have a competent, even if selfish, scorer off the bench.

[TheGreatYacht]

OKC gets another monkeyballer, Spurs kryptonite

[TheGreatYacht]

Spursfans forgetting how bad OKC's bench was last year against us :lol

EDIT:
472952032908021760
^they won't get outscored like that with Jackson and Waiters on the bench

[Ice009]

It doesn't help the Spurs at all. We might be fighting for a playoff spot if Kawhi is out for a while.

[CGD]

Wow, huge get for OkC if they don't give up Jackson. Okc has Perkins expiring at 9m, collision and thabeet net about 4m in expiring too. Are the Knicks that desperate to to dump salary for nothing?!

[Robz4000]

Robz to the Lefty road tbh. Too early for the thread nigga

They still traded for Dion Waiters; terrible fit alongside Jackson or Westchimp.

[ElNono]

Waiters is being moved because he wouldn't swallow his pride and come off the bench... he's cancerous like that. Hopefully he starts pouting in OKC too...

[Trainwreck2100]

hopefully it fucking metastasizes

[313]

Reggie is leaving in the offseason, so I guess Dion is his replacement

[cjw]

Waiters has been good on offense even though he is an egomaniac.

No he hasn't been. When you play with some of the best offensive players in the league, you should be much better than he is. His usage remains high - basically the same as Gary Neal, JR Smith, Nick Young, Nate Robinson (see a trend there?) and isn't even in the top 300 in true shooting %. Can't wait to see him move into an offense completely void of a system.

The Knicks didn't get nothing in the deal ... a first round pick for prospect that plateaued like his hair-do PLUS dumping a bad contract. OKC gets good option value on Waiters. Even though I hate his game, he is only 23 and has room to improve.

Unless OKC plans on paying the luxury tax (not sure that's in the cards for their ownership group, plus don't discount how a plummet in energy prices may impact them) teams know they can hold them hostage in their bid to shed salary. You act as if the Perkins $9mm expiring deal is an asset. The only way they move it is if they take on someone with a similar contract value that expires beyond this year.

[toki9]

Both Jackson and Waiters want to start...so how does that affect OKC's chemistry?

[look_at_g_shred]

They need to trade one of their refs away tbh.

[spursparker9]

lol with Westchuck, KD and Reggie Jackson chucking more shots than Lebron, Irving and Love, would be nice to see Waiter spread his cancer more to OKC

[Mel_13]

The reasons for NY making the trade are obvious. They're going nowhere, so they may as well clear cap space and add a draft pick.

For OKC, it's an admission that they won't be able to keep Jackson this summer, so they're getting a replacement that has an additional year on his rookie contract.

For the Cavs, I have no idea what they're doing there.

The same thing they were doing that made LeBron leave the first time tbh.

[baseline bum]

Well, that and he's a shitty player with a garbage jumpshot. Can't believe all Cleveland could get is 3-years-ago-version-of-Lin in Shumpert and Friend Killer though. JR is probably one of the 5 worst players in the league right now.

[Mel_13]

Pretty much. You'd think that they'd do better with 4 years to review their mistakes. Apparently not.

Apparently, the pick goes to Cleveland, not the Knicks...

[cd021]

Cap space alone is a big get for them. They may have cut at least $10 million from the books. They'd have about $31 million in cap in the off season including a likely top 5 pick.

[Mel_13]

Apparently, the pick goes to Cleveland, not the Knicks...

Thanks. Still a good deal for the Knicks and not much better for the Cavs.

[SupremeGuy]

So OKC got Waiters for nothing, huh?

[Mel_13]

So OKC got Waiters for nothing, huh?

For a protected first round pick and a 4M trade exception.

[Mugen]

The Rockets got Josh Smith for nothing as well tbh.

[ddjeffries]

The Rockets got Josh Smith for nothing as well tbh.

And Detroit got the world.

[timtonymanu]

Waiters to OKC?

Is this another trade that Spurs fans freak out about over nothing? :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Mr October is staying put.

[Ice009]

How bad have Shumpert and Smith been this season? Are they in decline, or are they just playing bad? Has JR Smith really been that bad? Bottom 5 player bad?

[ddjeffries]

Waiters to OKC?

Is this another trade that Spurs fans freak out about over nothing? :lol

Honestly, I was excited to see Reggie leave OKC. He kills the Spurs. But alas, that isn't happening.

[itzsoweezee]

So OKC is now over the luxury tax for the first time. They're dumping someone, right? Or did Bennet suddenly stop being a cheapskate?

[Robz4000]

They'll prolly make a few more moves. As a lot of us have alluded to in this thread and downstairs, Jackson and Waiters playing alongside each other won't work well.

[loveforthegame]

We got Marco. No worries here.

[toki9]

So this probably means OKC will move Jackson before the deadline...who else would they want to move? Perkins?

[FireMicoHalili]

Waiters is talented. A head case, but talented. My only issue with him this summer was he was reluctant to take on a bench role for the Cavs.

[Brunodf]

Spurs should trade Marco and Ayers for a bag of chips tbh;

There is no way a bag of chips would perform worse than those two...

[spurspokesman]

Nothing to see here

Knicks making space for Kobe...

Woah, woah, woah! I fucked up and all but that's no reason to drag a pro like tspence into this; when he tweets it its a sure thing.

[wildbill2u]

Knicks making space for Kobe...

Might have something there. Reuniting Phil, Fisher and Kobe in NY at this stage of his career--and with the Lakers rebuilding anyway--might be an attractive prospect for all concerned.

Knicks aren't taking on the biggest contract in the league for next year after they just stripped away all long term commitments other than Calderon and Melo.

If tspence says it then it must be true. Glad that Somalian pirate is no longer in the West.

[cd021]

Dalembert going to be waived from what i've heard. Probably would go back to the Mavs.

[adonis827]

C Ibaka
PF Durant
SF Waiters
SG Jackson
PG Westbrook

Not too bad

[ceperez]

Waiters is talented. A head case, but talented. My only issue with him this summer was he was reluctant to take on a bench role for the Cavs.

If he can't get along with Lebron, then how is he supposed to get along with Durant and Westbrook?

Let's hope that he's a cancer in the Thunder's locker room!

[Ice009]

How about changing the thread title?

[Robz4000]

I made my mistake, now I have to lie in it.

If Lopez could stay healthy that'd be a bit worrying. Thankfully he can't.

[milkyway21]

Dalembert going to be waived from what i've heard. Probably would go back to the Mavs.

So Cuban's Jermaine O'Neal to Mavs fizzled out? :D

True JO Neal doesn't want to be a Maverick. Oftentimes being a Maverick unless your name is Dirk Nowitzki, is short-lived.

[cjw]

Dalembert going to be waived from what i've heard. Probably would go back to the Mavs.

I think the Mavs can re-sign him as the original trade with NYK happened before the start of the new league year (July 1st). Had it happened after 7/1, he'd be barred from re-signing with them even if released (item #100: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm). Put in place to prevent deals like was done with Brent Barry in 2008.

[moisaenz]

The Rockets got Josh Smith for nothing as well tbh.

The rockets got nothing for nothing.

[cd021]

Dalembert is probably better than O'Neal at this point. I'd be wary about all the millege and injuries, not to mention he has missed the first 3rd of the season. Dalembert would be a steal as a backup on the Mavs. He can board and defend (especially in the post).
