    Just wondering, teams give up, things don't go as planned and there are some crazy trades at the trade deadline

    Is Morey maybe betting of having a better chance then?

    Who could be a possibility?

    95% is a number I see floating around a lot here.

    To sign someone big? Probably not very high because even in your post you alluded to a trade... which would be at about 95% as stated by @steddinotayto

    Oh and at the 2 yard line. Can't forget that little nugget.

    If Ryan Anderson is still on this team by the Season opener I will buy everyone on this forum a 1 year subscription to Basketballholic's Insider newsletter.

    Short on trade assets
    Short on cap space

    No cap space
    Little assets

    We don't have much chance to acquire a big name unless they are on the verge of free agency and saying they will sign here for the minimum.

    Carmelo proved that you can't force a team to trade you in a bad deal to a team of your choosing if you don't have REAL leverage.
