    It's fine cause he knows everyone will forget in a few months. He's done basically nothing 2 deadlines in a row and we're still here mocking up Fox or KD trades that'll never happen.

    I guess we just have to pretend the Durant price was out of this world and stone did everything he possibly could to add an impact scorer to close games…


    It’s that or bro just took half a year off o_O

    I don't even think he calls teams, he probably just send them an email or text at the deadline... he has let us down every deadline.

    lol yall are so dramatic. All year, everyone chants, “Don’t make dumb trades!” Then when the deadline hits, everyone freaks out when we don’t make a big trade.

    Yep. And the thread title is a dog whistle to get these fans to identify themselves by agreeing in a comment.

    This is so stupid. He made two deals. Granted both were very low impact, but someone who works to do things at the margins is not lazy. You could argue he did the wrong things and/or missed opportunities (though we don't really know), but calling him lazy is ... well ... lazy.

    Stone is not a war time GM, great at rebuilding rosters thru draft tho.

    It’s OK we didn’t make any blockbuster trade, but we did need to do some move to get ourselves a decent backup PG. As long as Fred still injured, and Ime keeps giving more minutes to Aaron instead of Reed, the losing streak shall continue.
