Trade Deadline 2013

[NashVol11]

And it begins.

Reports: Thomas Robinson dealt

Not sure what the Kings are thinking.

 

[n_huffhines]

I don't like any of those players, so the Kings getting $1M is a good deal. Maybe Robinson will end up being good, but he's not having a good year.

I've never bought into the trade deadline hype.

"We're selling the team anyway, so F it, we might as well save four million bucks this year."

Yeah, I completely understand that that was the motivation behind the deal. I guess what I meant was, it's a shame that the one guy on that soap opera of a team with a good attitude and work ethic was the one they decided to trade away ASAP.

To Houston though.

Redick to Bulls

Smith to Brooklyn


No other major players moved.

Redick is a nice player. Good for the Bulls. What did they give up. The story isn't on espn yet.

 

[005]

It didn't happen yet

He has barely played a half a season. Little early to throw in the towel. No?

It's early. Like I said, he could turn it around, but he wasn't all that impressive coming into the draft.

 

[YankeeVol]

Grizz traded Gooden away during his rookie campaign iirc

The promising thing about Robinson is that his rebound numbers are good, he's just terrible on offense. You can't usually fix poor rebounding, but bad offense can be improved/managed if he learns to play smarter.

I would definitely take him over Patterson.

That was just my trade deadline predictions.

 

[Blake25p]

Redick traded to the Bucks for Tobais Harris, Deron Lamb, and Beno Udrih.

 

[YankeeVol]

Maybe Harris will finally get some PT

 

[NashVol11]

Simmons and Lowe absolutely ripping Sacto. Gotta say, I agree with them.

Bucks gave a couple guards and Harris.

I don't understand why the Jazz couldn't get anything for Jefferson/Millsap.

 

[n_huffhines]

Worst trade deadline ever.

I like Millsap, but would love to deal Jefferson. We got 3 bigs better than him, and he's the focal point.

 

[n_huffhines]

WTF! Knicks traded Brewer. They were 18-6 with him when he was getting minutes, but he hasn't played 20 minutes since mid-December, and they've gone 14-13 (that includes 5 games without Brewer...1-4). They have horrible perimeter D. They are stupid as hell.

BTW, Knicks are worse on D this year than last year under D'Antoni.

Winners and losers at the deadline
