Trade revisited Thread

[chubster]

Brand was going to get payed the max by the Clips, the bulls weren't going to pay him the max. If the bulls were going to pay him the max they would have agreed to match the Clips offer.

Brand didn't sign anything with the Clips, how can the Bulls match?

He would have got the max from the clips anyway THE MAX

Not as much as THE MAX he would get from signing with the Bulls.

If the Bulls didn't agree to the S&T Brand would have left anyway WITH A MAX CONTRACT

No he wouldn't. He wouldn't sign with the Clips for less money. It's either pay him and keep him long term or sign and trade him. There's no 3rd option which was to sign with the Clips directly.

And this is the 3rd time I posted this;

Name me one player who chose to sign with another team outright when the team who had his bird right offered him a sign and trade even when he was unrestricted. No such thing.

No because in this fantasy world he's already on the clippers, why would the clippers trade for a player that's already on their team.

Way to step it up another notch, man. That's fantasy on crack.

Well, I'm off on a family vacation for the next 3 days. Before I leave, I'll just leave those who think the Elton Brand's trade was fair with this to think about:

Joe Johnson trade.

He was RFA like Brand was.
traded for Boris Diaw who was better than Tyson Chandler.
and 2 first round draft pick from Atlanta who was a bottom dweller.

Up untill this day, there are few Suns fans who bemoan that trade as a bad move even when they got more than what the Bulls got for Brand.

Oh, and I should mention Brand (at the time he was traded)>>>>>>JJ (at the time he was traded).

Think about that and say with a straight face, "Yes, the Elton Brand trade was fair."

Should I do a revisit on the Jefferson trade?

If either Oberto, Thomas or Bowen are waived and return to the Spurs, I think most of the fans here should never utter the words "conspiracy", "collusion" and "hush hush manner" ever again when it comes to the Gasol trade.
