Were there any attempts to trade/acquire Ty Lawson by the Rox or anyone else? Haven't heard any mention about him since the ramp up to Deadline.
IMO the only winners were the Nuggets. Also the Wizards and NY did well. The biggest losers were the Suns. Miami will become the next Nets so even if they landed the big name I don't see a bright future. Philly is playing with fire and I don't think their young talent or other potential FA will appreciate this approach. They reset the rebuilding yet another one - two years back and crushed the souls of their fans. At that point Embiid and Noel will be up for extensions. Bucks made a big mistake by getting MCW back instead of LAL pick but Kidd wanted MCW so I guess we shall see. Suns tried to make a PR move with Knight and seriously overpaid. Bledsoe and Knight isn't a good fit imo. OKC got Kanter and his crazy agent to deal with this summer. Ibaka is the best fit for him but then they will have to make a choice between him and Adams. Jazz got the best they could out of a delusional flawed player still should have sold sooner and got more. It wasn't his peak value. Ny got rid of a contract and got back some 2nd rounders so they accomplished what they wanted. Houston got Kj so the trade deadline wasn't a total waste. Pistons will have a problem with two divas as Jackson and Jennings lol I 'm looking forward to watching the drama unfold. The Nuggets made out like bandits. They got rid of the albatross MacGee the malcontent Aflallo (problems with Shaw) and got back picks to start a much needed rebuild while able to retain the best talent of the roster. Now if the owner decides to finally pay and get rid of Shaw and hire an actual coach things look bright for them.
Here's how I see it and Daryl does this every year, so you'll should be used to it by now. What did we lose? Nothing! We traded 2 players that weren't playing and gathered 2 players that may play. He does this every year. We trade nothing for potentially something. He's smart, and by the way we are a top seed right now, why mess up your team. We already made trades/acquisitions prior to deadline in brewer and Smith. I believe we can contend when fully healthy.
