Don't you guys understand? As I predicted a couple weeks ago.... We just got Boshed again. We will continue to win until Harden wears down. No doubt in my mind we didn't even offer the NOP pick. How stupid. Terry+Jones(even when injured) NOP pick and NY 2nd is a better deal than that.
Granted these names are speculative, but I would take Dragic, Brewer, and Wright over Rondo any day. Maybe Morey said he'd trade something good for Wright if Ainge got him out of Dallas.
This is the opposite of getting Boshed. The Rockets went all out for Bosh and didn't get him because he changed his mind at the very end. The Rockets clearly DID NOT go all out for Rondo, because they had far superior assets and didn't make them available. It's not getting "Boshed" if the Rockets make a conscious choice not to go after the player.
Fair enough Cat but it is the same in the sense that we come away with NOTHING again. I bet Morey doesn't even get Brewer because he thinks the NY pick is super valuable. I know we are playing great.... But this will not sustain throughout the course of the year unless someone can turn fatigue off. Understand that there is no Rondo, no Lowry and no Dragic walking through that door. Morey would never pay what Phoenix will ultimately get in trade when they give up Dragic. We obviously could have had Rondo. If our goal was to drive up the price for Dallas then we ultimately failed. They didn't pay crap. We are going all in on the summer again. That sucks. A Rondo in the hand is worth Goran who is probably stuck in the bush. I like Brandon Wright as much as the next guy but Dallas absolutely raped Boston. We have 3-4 players inside of our rotation right now who will be detrimental when the games start to truly count.
Is the Wright to Houston thing just fan speculation or is there some actual talk? I would love that if we could get him!
Just fan speculation, but there is a general buzz that wright won't stay in Boston. Even Bullard said it on the broadcast tonight.
How does Dallas get screwed lol? Is RR a trojan horse? Or losing their backup center is going to crush them? Dallas got a great deal.
He's one of the worst offensive players in the NBA and he's worse defensively than the guy they had starting before that. Add to that the fact that they lost important depth and picks and yeah, they got screwed by charging after big names.
Would you still make this trade today? Don't get me wrong. I wanted Rubio in the offseason too. But at least I'm willing to admit I was wrong back then and I wouldn't call anyone stupid for not making just any trade for the sake of it. Your proposed trade would look really stupid today, injury or no injury. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=9197187&postcount=8303
