It's insane and ****** that Memphis held onto Tyreke. I'm sure they could've gotten a 2nd rounder for him. Holding out for a 1st for a guy without Bird Rights is just nuts.

I agree. The Tyreke situation is mindblowing really. They could have at least gotten a couple 2nd rounders for him. I'm just glad he didn't play last night....
Jordan will be interesting. I could see him picking up his option then getting traded to the Rockets for Ryan Anderson and a first rounder or something like that. I'm just very glad the Cavs didn't trade for Jordan. I appreciate LeBron and think he's going to stay in Cleveland until he retires. Jordan would have made him leave.

Trade market was not strong at all.
Nobody wants to trade a 1st. I'm still shocked that NO did. That was an awful trade. Credit to DL for not giving up our 1st for that.

Yeah, I guess Boston offered 2 2nd round picks for him. I am not sure why they wouldnt do that.

I was thinking the same thing. Also a little surprised that DeMarre Carroll wasn’t traded. Wonder if the Jazz will move Burks in the offseason.

Let's play a game of "who has fallen the furthest":
IT - traded twice in less than a season and is destined to come off the bench behind a terrible rookie
Rose - signed to the minimum then dumped to a team where he is destined to get bought out
Wade - signed to a minimum deal to be with his buddy to win a title then traded for a 2nd rounder

Boston got greedy and it might cost them. They have 5 or 6 first rounders this summer and next. Will be interesting to see if Cleveland's willingness to trade their 1st for Clarkson impacts a Boston/Cleveland series because of Boston's unwillingness to trade their 1st for Tyreke.

Offered Yabusele in addition to the two 2nds

I'm sure Ainge tried to put protection on those picks. Sometimes just screwing Ainge is the best move, see Indiana. . .

Because **** Ainge thats why. Thinking about it Im glad their GM didnt roll over. They know all the assets Boston has and how Ainge has been fleecing everyone.
Bostons 1st (pick 30) is fair, its not a great pick so Im glad someone told Ainge to jam it and I hope it costs them.
Memphis got nothing for Tyreke.
LAL got nothing for Randle.
Atlanta got nothing for Belinelli.
Orlando got a 2nd rd pick for Payton.
Several other teams struck out in moving players they probably needed to move.
DL got a proven player on one of the best contracts in the entire NBA for Hood. #InDLWeTrust

Did OKC do anything? They were in a lot of discussions.

Would you rather have a late 1st or Crowder?
I'm probably taking Crowder, tbh. We weren't gonna get both.
