Trade Deadline Watch

[still.focused]

Spurs sleeping
I hate it

[SAGirl]

Good for Noel... he was rotting away at times in Philly not playing bc of their overcrowded big situation.
Good luck with Dallas young fella.

It's been one of the most boring trade deadline days. Hopefully something more interesting happens in the last minute.

Spurs are bargain guys, but they have a rep for robbing teams in trades, but the only one I'm aware of is the Kawhi trade. Other than that, trades have been eh to crap. Yet it seems people won't deal with them for fear of being fleeced. Yet Ainge does fleece people and his name comes up every deadline, though that might be bc of their many assets.

They didn't rob the Pacers in that trade. They traded Hill for a pick, they happened to draft Khawi. Another team could have taken Khawi before the Spurs or he could have turned out to be a scrub. Its easy to say they robbed a team years down the line.

Oh, I agree. I'm just saying that it is seen as a heist. Spurs traded when it was clear Kawhi was available, but never dreamed he'd be a superstar.

Spurs went through the biggest turnover in years this offseason and people really think we were gonna make another move? This isn't 2K guys, real life works a little different. I know it's fun for fans to see turnover especially at the trade deadline, but it shouldn't be much of a surprise that the team pretty much is what it is this point for the second half of the season going into the playoffs. The only roster position I'm assuming isn't safe is Joel Anthony's and unless there's a buyout there's a good chance he'll keep that spot.

PJ Tucker to Toronto..haven't heard whether they gave up a 1st yet, but great move from a basketball POV..

Poor Kawhistorm

[apalisoc_9]

Deadline is officially over.

Time for the buyout thread to explode.

[8FOR!3]

PJ Tucker to Toronto..

Guess he fills the backup swing role with Ross being gone.

Insanely washed player. Lol craptors

[r0drig0lac]

winners: Pelicans obviously, OKC Presti and Raptors

Boston standing pat

I think OKC lost. Vertical says they gave up Payne too.

Solid backup SF, though..they only gave up an obese scrub(Sullinger) and 2nd round picks..

For Sullinger?

[Mr. Body]

LOL @ calling any team with Cousins 'big winners'.

LOL @ Boston.

[r0drig0lac]

maybe, I think Taj will be great for them

[HarlemHeat37]

I agree with Boston not making a move if Bird was really asking for that much IMO..no way I give up 3 of Crowder/Smart/Bradley/Brown and a pick..

[Chinook]

But what does that mean? Does it make them contenders?

Yea I just saw. Thought he landed PHX a first rounder for a sec

Bird out-Ainged Ainge.

[r0drig0lac]

obviously not, but they are better than before ... though we will have to wait how it will work

[HarlemHeat37]

Bird out-Ainged Ainge.

Ya, maybe if you know for a fact that he'll take a long-term deal, but it sounds like he's going to the Lakers within the next 2 years according to virtually every credible source, so far..
