Blech. No real value in the rights to match overpaid offers on those guys in the spending spree of 2019 free agency, when half the teams in the league have cap space.

Nobody wants the snitch on the team.
Plus part of me thinks Dlo expects a huge deal. No thank you.

RHJ lost the sf spot to Harris and the pf spot to Dudley. He's not much of a prospect. And I'm not a DLO believer. Saric snd Civington both better than either player.

Looks like Covington got 33 from KBD after all.

If the LaVine trade thread got bumped so that people could eat crow, this one should be too. A lot of people didn't get it....

This was by far the best possible deal we ever could have got. I presented this on the Philly board a month ago and got laughed out of town by the 76ers fans.

Laughed out of town by Philly fans? That’s funny considering that the overwhelming sentiment on the Sixers board is that we love the deal.

Love to see your original post and what constituted being laughed out of town to you.

It's the way things work. Before the trade is made you look at all the negatives to making it. Once it is made you look at all the positives. It's very easy to spin it either way. You can say we got a top ten player for a couple role players. Or you can say we got a one year rental on a disgruntled locker room cancer for an all NBA defender and a ROY runner up. Go back to when I was discussing it. You will see what I am saying is true. If you don't feel like finding it than you wouldn't really love to see my original post despite you saying you would.

So now that we have a feel for what our team can be if we continue to play consistently for the rest of the season, does it make you happy we didn't (if offered) the Miami deal for J Rich?

I have him on my fantasy team so I have been following him a little closer than some. (Stats anyway.) He seems to be a slightly better version of Wiggins. (Or at least the Wiggins we've seen this past season.) He is very up and down so far, so maybe like they say, the best trades are the ones that don't get made.

I honestly don't think he is better than Covington alone. He's a good young 2 way player who can score and is a good defender, but he wouldn't have nearly the impact hes had for Miami as a timberwolf though. His scoring and shot attempts would go way down and his defensive impact isn't as good as Cov's imo

Where are all those people that thought Whiteside was a good addition now?

I agree about his impact. The Covington and Saric trade seemed to come out of nowhere, so to me it feels like we actually got lucky to reject Miami's offer. I think we would have had another identity issue. Cov and Saric know what roles are needed. JRich could have been another Butler.
Also he's a SG and would have had to keep Wiggins at the 3. He seems to play better at the SG IMO.

Sounded like he had to crap. That's all.

Tim Reynolds: Hassan Whiteside said he left last night with stomach discomfort and couldn’t wait any longer. “The situation kind of made it a bigger deal,” he said. He added, “I think it’s a bigger deal because it’s me.”

Always by far preferred RoCo and Saric to Richardson and Waiters. Not even close.

There was never one firm Miami deal that was discussed. Most of the discussions involved Richardson, but there were some that didn't and even the ones that did had various supplemental pieces to the trade.

If MIA had offered Richardson with Olynyk, and not Waiters, then I’d have been okay with that deal.

Covington. Saric, and the 2nd (in the first year that might allow high schoolers), is just fine.

Did the Wolves have a butler? Aren't they supposed to answer doors and bring their employer Champaign and caviar?

Who won the deal?
