    Agreed, but with that in mind with anything less than 30 days from the trade deadline we CANNOT play Eric Gordon.

    I'm expecting two mid 2nd round picks. Perhaps even one. Low balling at it's max, unless some team really wants him as an additional player to their squad in order to make a playoff run.

    I think that’s excessive. Teams are going to want to see you recently. They have short memories. The flashiest at the deadline are fresh their minds.

    Week of deadline is acceptable to me. More than that is being overly cautious to the degree of risking value.

    because the funeral is now and not Sunday? I don’t know, I’m willing to give people the benefit of the doubt under these circumstances

    That would be super depressing. We’ve at least got to get a 1st rounder for him. Anything less is not acceptable. It would shake my confidence in Stone. There’s gotta be a team that would pony up a 1st. I mean, we gave up a first for Terrence Williams for Christ sake

    With almost any other player I agree, but with Eric he's always hurt right around the trade deadline.

    Stone botched the Harden trade. Should have never gotten a washed up Oladipo coming off of an injury. Especially when he’s been telling everyone he wants to play in Miami.

    Wasn’t a botch, IMO. Didn’t want Levert for a couple more seasons. Worst case scenario Dipo is just an expiring. I’m more cool with that than treading with Levert

    I think there is a chance for a low first for VO, but it's not guaranteed. The quad injury has limited him from playing back to backs. Stone made a mistake going after him.

    Guys like Norman Powell are pieces for a contender on the verge not the worst team in the league that needs a complete rebuild. Stone needs to get real and look long term

    I was only half watching cause I had a serious phone call but I’m reading that stone came and talked to the team at the start of the second half...had to have been that dipo was traded since wall eventually came back in

    guessing wall/house/mac are still here...at least for another few hours

    Levert lit it up tonight. We be getting some very good offers for Jarret Allen and Levert right now instead hoping for a late first rounder.

    I know it’s hard to believe, but Oladipo has had a significantly better month of March than Levert. It’s not even close.

    What does that have to do with Stone? If there is a a team willing to offer a first then we will get it, if we don't then there wasn't a team willing to offer that. Nothing really Stone can do about it.

    Stone is the dope that traded an MVP for a package headlined by Oladipo. It has everything to do with him.

    It was basically 4 FRP, 4 FRP swaps, and expiring contracts (cap space), one of which might become an additional FRP

    3 swaps. We clearly aren't swapping with them this year.
