2016 NBA Trade Deadline

[raybies]

Feel like I can fly now that I know how to embed tweets. My post game is now improved and I look forward to more contribution. Thanks

Spurs with Parker leading the team in WS: 3 x ZERO le
Spurs with Kawhi leading the team in WS: GOAT season in franchise history

To be fair, 2012-13 TP could do a lot of things but, he could shoot Leonard's free throws for him

[QUOTE=Kawhitstorm;8430871]Absent when the Spurs closed out the Blazers

Absent when the Spurs closed out the Blazers
Absent when the Spurs pulled out a gutsy win against OKC

All moot. If not for Tony, they don't make it passed Dallas.

1-11 in the first 3 quarter of the championship clincher then padding his stats while Kawhi was on the bench writing his MVP speech

It took kawhi 3 quarters to come up with 5 words?

[Kawhitstorm]

All off-season trolling aside, it really is nice that the Clippers lost Matt Barnes..he wasn't anything special, but still, his hustle/energy gave the Spurs problems..

The only good thing about Barnes was that he stayed in his lane on offense & didn't get in Blake/Cp3 way nor complain about shots.

Porker missed a FT during that game, it DOESN'T matter when you miss...it still counts.

Not to mention Ray Allen drained a 3 right in his mug

The reason it was a 7 game series was b/c Porker kept dribbling & dribbling when the Mavs switched the PnRs

It took kawhi 3 quarters to come up with 5 words?

It took Porker ONLY 4 quarters to come up with an excuse for why he didn't show up in the first 3 quarters.

I get that the Grizzlies have stocked up on draft picks and should still get in and retain their pick, but their wing rotation is more devoid of shooting and overall talent than ever. There's not a single legitimate starter and the only (supposed, since he's unproven) shooter is Adams, who's injured.

Other random thoughts . . .

- I like the Frye pickup. They needed to upgrade the Jefferson/Jones spot in the rotation, with a better and legitimate stretch PF and he makes for an ideal pairing with Thompson, since he can play PF offensively and C defensively.

- If Motiejunas' back recovers, that's a nice pickup too, though I don't see how all of their forwards get the minutes they probably expect, unless he takes Baynes' backup C minutes. Thornton provides a much needed scorer off the bench.

- The pick for Motiejunas could eventually bear fruit, but in the interim, after drafting 37 PF's in the past half decade, the Rockets are down to the injury prone, inconsistent Jones and a past prime Smith, though they did alleviate minutes logjam at two spots.

- Like Motiejunas, the Morris pick could eventually bear fruit, but the Wizards desperately needed a starting caliber PF and they should be getting a motivated player.

It's like a 2019 first. So for all we know CP3 and Blake could both be gone by then. , even DeAndre could be gone.

At least Doc protected them in a downside scenario where they miss the playoffs in 2019 by lottery protecting the pick. He could have pulled a Billy King and left them naked on the downside.

[Kikoluna]

Well, spurs didn't make a move. A little bummed.

Parker didn't miss a series clinching free throw but he hit the game tying three and the go ahead basket all while Kawhi was pondering his thanks for saving my ass speech. Ray allen was Green's responsibility but, maybe if Leonard would have made a conscious effort to go for the rebound instead of standing there, watching everything unfold. BTW, who's mug was crawling up TP's rear, trying to look busy on Ray Allen's corner three ?

It was a seven game series because Monta Ellis was using wingstop as his personal rag .

EVERY shot count it doesn't matter when you miss. I suggest you sign up for math remediation courses.

Monta was running high PnRs then beating Tim to the bucket meanwhile Porker couldn't figure out the Mavs pathetic defense until Gm 7.

[gambit1990]

not even a jeff green fan but the clippers getting him for lance stephenson is good for them. not sure what that draft pick they gave up is though...

Apparently, Leonard didn't get that message

Hey, don't rag on the Mavs D. They managed to hold the future finals MVP to 12 ppg . Total non-factor!

[Kawhitstorm]

Looking ahead to the poseason:

-Grizz will get a train run on them in the 1st rd
-Rockets might miss the posteason
-Jazz failed to make themselves a formidable 1st rd opponent by failing to acquiring a starting PG
-Mavs are in no man's land with no future or present
-Blazers might not drop out of the top 8

[look_at_g_shred]

How the we go back to 2013? Kill that noise.

[Kawhitstorm]

Apparently, Leonard didn't get that message

Apparently, Porker didn't get the message there was a Gm 7 & missed the game: 3/12 & outscored by Mario Chalmers in Gm 6/7

Hey, don't rag on the Mavs D. They managed to hold the future finals MVP to 12 ppg . Total non-factor!

Maybe if his point guard wasn't busy ball hogging & dribbling the air out of the ball he would have had more shot attempts:
-Porker: 123 FGAs
-Kawhi: 65 FGAs

-Manu: 32 assists in 192 minutes
-Porkers: 33 assists in 231 minutes

Point Guard

Porker stans can't handle the Kawhitstorm blowing away their agenda.

Whats the current situation with baynes, i dont keep up with detroit.

[BatManu20]

Pretty funny.

[SpursFan86]

How you guys managed to turn a trade deadline thread into another Parker vs. Kawhi pissing contest is beyond me

[SpursBig3s]

A dream trade for the Spurs will be: Diaw, Slomo, Boban, Simmons, 3 first round picks for Rudy Gay... We desperately need player like Gay, as a real sixth man player for us, as another fire power and a small ball option against the Dubs..

[HarlemHeat37]

Whats the current situation with baynes, i dont keep up with detroit.

He's actually been really good, lately, probably better than he was with the Spurs..SVG gives him crunch time minutes, too, since teams have been utilizing the Hack-a-Drummond..

Except for getting stuffed by Simmons, I thought Baynes played lights out against the Spurs - one of the best games of his career. Made me wish we could have kept him, tbh.

yea, going to be boring ass first round with 4-0/4-1 galore..Jazz might take two games vs Thunder/Clips, but that's about it..

Aside from the Clippers, who are in a "last-stand" mode, almost all rest are resigned to who they are in the pecking order..

CROFL at the lottery-bound Pelicans not dealing Anderson and losing him for nothing in FA...

The Rockets are a losing streak away from a complete meltdown they have @Jazz,@Blazers, vs Spurs consectuvely next week..they go 0-3 there, i think they miss the POs an POR sneaks in..

Anderson not getting traded was the biggest surprise of the deadline. I am also surprised MCW didn't get moved somewhere.

[elemento]

Next season there is going to be massive festival of overpaying. I'm ing glad the Spurs will be out of it.

Dwight Howard,Al Horford, Hassan Whiteside, Demar Derozan, Mike Conley, Harrison Barnes, Rajon Rondo, Bradley Beal. Not a single franchise player and all of them will get the MAX or something close to it.
