    Look at this way, if your goal is now to finish bottom 3, there was ZERO reason to downgrade.

    We need to tank to the top. That's all. Memo to TF, PF, Stone and Silas . Pick Cade and keep him as Houston Rocket instead of trading him, if you luck out and don't buyout Victor Oladipo. Let Victor go to any other team. Cade will make you forget about him.

    I don't know if I buy this "if he walks this summer, we get nothing!" logic. Trading Oladipo for another $20-30M in bad veteran contracts that don't expire this off-season is adding negative value for the team unless we get at *least* a first round pick out of it. The cap space dipo brings this summer is valuable to a rebuilding team, too. Especially to a cheap sh!it owner like Fertits.

    Well, I kept expecting something to come in after the bell, but I guess that's done now. In the end, VO was a tough sell. I was hoping his recent play may encourage a play-off team to take the chance he could be that third piece as a 2-way player. He probably was valued closer to Fournier and Stone wouldn't budge for that price. Perhaps we can do a sign-in-trade in the off-season and that's his fall back position.

    I'm also really surprised we didn't move 1-2 of House, Brown or McLemore. A future 2nd for McL would have been perfect, but he's been pretty inconsistent this year.
