What Emotion Summarizes Your Response to the Deadline?

[shrink]

Happy? Disappointed? Confused? Angry?

Give one word.

[Battletrigger]

Disappointed. We have 3 2nd round picks plus expiring to move. I wanted the Smart move.

[Neeva]

Why do we even have a gm? Lol

[Calinks]

Neutral. I would like to have an impact big but that would also cause issues for Vando and Reid, I like our current team but we have some flaws that could get exposed by good teams. At the same time, the current team could turn it up and be better. I'm ok with seeing what we got with these guys.

[winforlose]

Gonna quote team four star here “this is a new feeling, pride in someone else. Unfortunately it is overshadowed by all of this UNYIELDING RAGE.”

Proud we didn’t make a bad trade or a desperation move, outraged that we didn’t fix any of the obvious fractures in our rotation. FFS our backup center has a bum knee. We have no third string center.

[Krapinsky]

I wasn't expecting us to do anything so my emotion is just 'meh' level indifference. Maybe we'll land a buy out big that can help us.

[Neeva]

Can we get Paul Reed or something? Anything?

He isn’t a two way. He is under contract with the 76ers. Only true C available is the head case EKF.

[KGdaBom]

Indifference. Complete and total indifference.

[jscott]

Content.

Didn’t want to overpay for a marginal upgrade or straddle us with a bad contract.

[LibertyPrime]

Pensive, still waiting for the buyouts and cuts to come. There's a couple of good players that could be picked up by the Wolves, although I don't know how much we can do being so close to the luxury cap. Can we buy out Layman? What happens with Josh?

Also, amazed at both the Wiz/Mav trade and the 76ers/Brooklyn trade.

Morey got his guy, at a pretty deep cost - the Sixers finally cut Ben loose but had to lose 2 first rounders and Seth Curry to do it. Now it's Harden/Embiid or bust. The Sixers paid this price for a year-and-a-half rental on a guy who seems to give up on franchises pretty easily if he's not #1 and who's lost a lot of value with the rule changes.

I'm not quite as amazed at the Porzingis trade as a lot of folks since he always seemed like a bad fit once he got there. But for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans - man, that's a fleecing, and I like Dinwiddie more than most. Anyway....glad we didn't do something that stupid.

I'm perfectly fine with bringing in Enes Whatever-He's-Calling-Himself these days. What is WCS doing these days?

[Klomp]

I'm okay. Not really emotional one way or another. I'm not making any grand conclusions about the GM either.

[ClarkeW]

I’m feeling some relief that we didn’t panic and move one of our important bench pieces for a questionable upgrade. Would have been nice to add some rebounding/size but not upset that we didn’t find the right move.

We can find another center on the buyout market to improve our depth (EKF, WCS, Moses Brown) and wait to make any larger Marcus Smart style moves until the off-season.

[MN7725]

not surprised, tough to do a move so close to luxury tax

interested if Pat Bev gets an extension

hopeful that the "great chemistry" leads increased defensive effort/intensity which has been lacking most of the new year

WCS has some off court issues going on that are apparently too sensitive to be reported.

I think Robin Lopez or Mike Muscala could help us if wither of them are bought out. I'd take either of those guys over the Enes Freedom and Tristan Thompson. The latter two just have too much baggage.

KAT and TT would be a huge distraction. The last thing you need is your starting and backup Cs fighting over the starters GF.

Is KAT still with that Jordan Wood IIRC?

Yes, and he bought her a Porsche for Christmas. I think as an apology for being isolated with Covid. Looks like they are going to marry at some point.

[wolves_89]

Frustration. The Wolves have been the worst defensive rebounding team in the NBA all year and the reason for that is extremely obvious. Taking even a small step towards addressing the teams severe lack of size was a move that should have happened.
