Just wanted to throw my name into the trade-demar hat. One point that nobody seems to have made (or that i just missed) is that the raps have a chance to evolve a much more balanced offence with...

I agree in theory that a pass first point guard isn't necessary, but looking at this current roster BC has put together I think we can safely say that one would be ideal. DeRozan and Gay aren't...

So you're saying you blame a lack of motivation during a playoff race on the coach and not the players? Gotcha.

Sorry, but that's all the post deserves. Sick to death of arguing the point with people who have blinders on and no grasp of NBA history. Talent wins NBA championships, and the Raps have only 3 ways...

Just wanted to add to this discussion that most coaches make almost no difference to their team's success. I wish I still had the link to the research, but only a handful of NBA coaches consistently...

The anti-tanking logic is even more absurd than the tanking logic. Look at the standings. Keep on ignoring reality if you want, but dont complain about it to the rest of us.

I'd normally agree with you, but right now trading Bargs for scrap is utterly pointless. There is literally nothing to lose from letting him play out the season if all you can get for him is another...

I agree you take any worthy offer, but there's a lot of talk about amnestying him just to get him off the roster, or taking back a contract just to dump him. That's not good business in my opinion.
...

Exactly. If someone calls at the deadline and offers you something of value that helps the team, then sure, jump on it. But there's no reason Casey can't sit him down and make it very clear that he's...

I know I'm in the minority here, but the more I think about it, the less dumping Bargs for spare parts makes sense. We all know that his value is probably limited right now, and aside from waiting to...

I'd say stay the course right now in the interest of keeping your exceptions down the road. The team's growth is going to come internally over the next 2.5 years through chemistry and the development...

That doesn't mean a perennial 6-8 seed should be the goal of any franchise.

People need to understand that this is a GM trying to save his job instead of taking the slow route and waiting for a...

I think the team's ceiling is the Joe Johnson era Hawks. Small improvements year after year as chemistry builds and the roster stays the same, but not enough talent to really break through and too...

100% agree. I can't remember where I saw it, but one of the write-ups on the trade mentioned that in two years it's more than likely that Davis was the best player in the deal.

I just don't...

I posted it on the trade forums, but some variation on DeRozan for Afflalo.

Orlando gets a younger wing with more potential, Toronto gets a less spectacular but far more reliable player who would...

Yeah I screamed at the TV when he put that up. No idea why he forced it so early.

Yeah, there are no words. I mean, that was so blatantly, so obviously a foul....

Just mind blowing.

Well, if you're gonna try to win now, you might as well keep the dealing going.

So how about DeRozan for Afflalo? I have no idea how the specifics would work (or if they will) because of DeMar's...

Because a) he's probably done enough to get himself a real contract at a high enough price that the Raps won't want to match for the 5th wing option and b) you could probably get a late first round...

I think Anderson will get traded, with his cheap contract he's way too valuable to a contender NOT to trade him. Then again if BC feels like the playoffs are in reach, he'll probably keep him and...

Side note here too: anyone else shocked that Memphis didn't insist on taking Alan Anderson to solidify it's wing rotation on the cheap?

Anyone else feel like the league needs to institute a policy that allows teams that fire their GM to request an undo on any trades said GM made the year before he left? Because I'm god damned furious...

It absolutely is unfair. Sports is an entertainment industry. It is not public service or civil service, or anything else representative of a significant public trust, and yet we treat it that way,...

That's totally fair. It's just a real sore point with me how we treat pro athletes and hold them to higher standards than we do anyone else in the public eye. Even our politicians get more leeway...
