    You have gone out of your way to ignore posts that explain how this is possible. Especially for a complex trade, you have to talk to a lot of teams to figure out how to structure it. You might be able to figure out the broad outlines of a trade just from the ancillary moves. And this is ignoring the player's back channel communications through their agents. Claiming no one could know for any given trade is silly.

    Hahaha. Yes, you would "win". You could say I told you so to a bunch of internet strangers. You must truly have a miserable life to sit here all day and repeat the same bs so that you can "win" something so meaningless.

    I feel that I have been logically refining my opposition position. View it as game theory.

    IF a trade deadline doesn't have speculation and (high) expectations , there isn't any fun ... i will not lose anything in the end.

    I followed every single post in the Dwight to Houston days(yes I'm that addicted to it), and IMO only Docrocket is the real insider. You can reread those threads to see yourself.

    The difference is he posted much more often, and a lot of people turned off on him after some trades didn't end as expected.

    In one of his interviews, I recall even Morey himself confessed that he doesn't know what will happen in the last minute trade talk.

    It seems like Morey likes to make trades before games start. If nothing happens by around 9 tonight, let's see how is held out of the game.

    Complain to Clutch. That is your only alternative. But I have certainly not broached any posting guidelines. So I guess you will have to just deal with it.

    Patterson and Morris were both active and doing shoot around when they got traded.

    There is plenty of evidence that suggest he did more than ride the coat tails of Garnett, Pierce, and Allen. To me, he was in the Asik class of player even though he plays a style I would not like to build around. Not a superstar. Maybe not even a star, but a very good player that helped the Celtics win. Not as big a piece as the other guys, but doubtful the other guys win without him.

    If he and Asik were healthy, an Asik-Rondo swap would be very close to even. Rondo was probably overrated, but he still was a very good player. I don't know if Rondo fits with Rockets even though some sources think he can. It is a risky "All-In" move. I would not want to risk too much to get him unless it is future draft picks that probably won't be that high any way along with either Asik or Lin.

    I've only seen him once since his return and he did not look as good as Beverley.

    Perhaps you missed both of these posts:

    Seriously man. Take a break and walk away. You are not providing anything worth discussing, much less worth reading, in this thread.
