    I wish we can acquire Hayes for House. We need a big more than him. A better option would be to package him with Tucker. Oladipo and Mac could be used in a different trade.

    The Lakers back to back games were worse tbh.

    oladipo has to get moved for a big at the deadline.

    hope he has a huge game against his future team.

    Could have flipped him at trade deadline for a better FRP.

    Stone and Tilman are even dumber than I thought if this was reason.

    JA only cost 3M this season.

    Yup. They definitely should have kept him and worried about dealing him later before his cheap rookie deal is done after 2022. He’s obviously a good rotational player so his value would have been just fine down the road. And still very young

    very stupid move not to keep him for the time being indeed

    probably, but it’s no coincidence that the main player we got back was an expiring

    most of our trades under Tilman just so happen to reduce payroll

    Or could be worse. He could have gotten injured or just not fit in here and played poorly.

    I really don't blame them for just taking the picks now. No way we would have paid him what he wanted.

    Maybe they could have gotten McGee back though.

    Thank Stone, Silas and WALL for the curse that is Boogie.

    BS

    He is killing it right now with the Cavs. And was killing it with the Nets too.

    Your injury hypo is Trumpian fantasy.

    JA is an expiring too.

    At least he wasn't injured AND has value on the court and at trade deadline.

    I'm not having fun! Someone said Kurics was a promising future potential star.
    I feel hoodwinked. Bamboozled.


    They lose momentum every time Wall goes to the bench and they bring these non pgs to handle and 'create'.
    Then, they need a center that can jump, quick, can block out and grab a rebound.
    I'm treating this back to back like when managers try to save their bullpen and then everything unravels and blows back in their faces.

    20 point deficit happened when Wall was on the floor.

    Every single point occurred under his watch.

    How is that a fantasy? Dudes get injured all the time, especially bigs.

    It isn't the no brainer deal people make it out to be and even if you trade him you're not getting much back.

    Any team acquiring him will be a contending/close to contending team and won't give up much and any bad team that really wants him are also in asset collection mode.

    Because of his situation I don't think his value is that high, I guess we'll see. My guess is Cleveland only traded for him because they plan on signing him long term.

    Is Jarrett Allen injured NOW??

    NO HE IS NOT.

    So your rebuttal that he COULD have gotten injured is FICTION.

    Hence, fantasy of Trumpian proportions. Just because something could be true does NOT make it true.

    Why does this even need to be explained????
