OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

The more I think about it the less I want a trade. We'll just end up getting someone else to block our younger players.

We aren't trading away Marvin the ghost Williams or Earl why the **** am i still in pro basketball Watson, so what's the point.

Just got out of my DeLorean after making a short trip. I stopped by Feb. 22nd, 2013 and brought back this quote from the Deseret News:

"Down the stretch I didn't think there was anything on the table that we looked at that we thought could improve our team," O'Connor said. "We looked at a lot of things, but when we came to the final judgment we like our young assets and we weren't ready to part with that, so we just stayed pat. O'Connor gave a "no comment" when asked if most trade offers include demands for the Jazz's young core of Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks. Sure, they want to win now — "Our goal is to make the playoffs," O'Connor insisted — but the Jazz weren't willing to mortgage their future success or cornerstone pieces for a quick fix."
 
I think what I now want is them to not make a trade. Then start the progression into the young players playing as soon as that happens. I hope KOC tells Corbin that while it's not his job to coach, if he (corbin) wants it to continue to be his job to coach then he will make a better effort to give the future of this team significantly more playing time.
.
I know it's a pipe dream. But a guy can be hopeful once in a while.

You guys are just so depressed because you know a trade isn't happening and now you are trying to talk yourself into liking it. I know you really want a trade.

I think they'll make one or two deals near the deadline. They're just seeing how everything shakes out probably and putting their potential deals on the table. With as many players expiring as we have, it makes sense to move a couple of them just to get any value back. There's almost no reason not to trade Marvin Williams, for like, anything.

The reason is that why would anyone else want him at that salary?

But if the Jazz can somehow swing it, I'd be ecstatic. I had high hopes for Marvin but I have really soured on him.
 
Marvin has been a big disappointment for a few reasons. First and foremost I think has been how badly he's been used. He could be better if he was used more. Having said that, he hasn't been very good. I was at the season opener and he actually played really well, had like 21 or 22 points and some good rebounds. At his salary he is just awful for us. I didn't like the trade when we got him, but I was hopeful...too bad.
 
Jesus. You Patsy's throwing in the towel on a trade are a sad bunch. If they don't make a trade we need to march on ESA. And throw KOL into the streets. We are going third world on their asses.
 
If Ainge can pull off the Rondo/Howard deal and land Bledsoe and Jordan he should get GM of the year. I hope Garnett holds firm on his statement that he won't waive his no-trade clause. Maybe the Clippers then turn to a Bledsoe/Millsap deal.

I think the problem with Marvin is what separates or differentiates him from Carroll -- he lacks fire, which Carroll has in spades, and this is why he hasn't and probably never will play up to his potential. When a person has no drive, no matter what their endeavor, they will not succeed, or at least succeed at a high level.

Which one? I think the Garnett deal makes a ton of sense.

Clippers lose with Garnett because he won't be able to keep up with the pace of that team. Also they don't have any froncourt depth. If Garnett injures himself, that's a career ending injury and they don't have anybody to back him up.
Boston loses because they were already a good defensive team, but terrible offensively. Jordan just widens those two ratings even more and he is only good if he has a PG feeding him all the time. You basically can't let him handle the ball at all on offense. Bledsoe is good for Boston, but he hasn't exactly proven that he can run a team on his own.
