    Like who? Please give me the typical homeristic lopsided Clutchfans trade scenario.

    Hamilton was unrestricted, I would rather his reserve minutes go to Kostos and Daniels anyway

    I am really tired of this asset flipping. We trade for people and then we get rid of them. Not once, not twice, but all the time ... . I get the Harden trade and DH signing were amazing, but can we at least sign some other players and try to keep 'em. It's not like we have achieved anything, really.

    if we haven't achieved then why are you so worried about keeping players that can be replaced.

    Speaking of Toronto...can you guys believe that Lowry and Dragic once played together on the same team, and that team was the Houston Rockets? I'm just saying...

    Why do you want to keep trash around? Are you a hoarder?

    Why did we trade for trash? If they were useless, why trading for them? You can't have both ways.

    There are LOTS of reason why we trade for trash:
    - We are not sure they are trash and want to find out for cheap
    - We are trading trash with bad contracts for trash with manageable contracts
    - We need trash to match salaries or to take back bad salaries
    - We need to fill out a roster for "depth"

    There are a ton of other reasons, but these jump out at me immediately. Either way, trading away trash should never be an issue.

    Should've done Brooks to GS for Steph Curry and picks/fillers.

    I guess Jordan Hamilton will be the next scrub to go off on us.

    Please, guys like Jordan Hamilton, Jordan Hill is sevicible, and not trashes. Morey didn't trade for them for the reasons you mentioned. How about Lowry, Dragic?
    All you said may be true somehow, but I don't see "We need to build a basketball team" in there.
