OKC is a big winner IMO, they arent the faves this season to win it all, but i think they are a tough out for the any power they play and next year they are the faves in the west.

I'll withhold my judgement on our chances next season.

Celtics have agreed to send Marquis Daniels to Sacramento for cash, source says.

Jeff Green is a SF.

Right, totally forgot about that one

There are no GMs like that. Mitch Kupcheck got lucky...Otis has been very aggressive...too aggressive at times.

This just blows.

I'm sure our owners will fire Otis when they realize what just happened and didn't happen ..

Umm Gerald "Always Giving Effort" Wallace.

SO...we trade Richardson (clearly Charlotte was looking to clear cap space) for a guy who still has 2 years @ 10+Mil a year after this season left on his contract and is an average player at best?

Sorry. Gerald Wallace is NOT making this team that much better. And he's another number we have to clear in the future if anyone wants to attempt to get that #2 for Dwight.

Besides, who is to say Charlotte didn't want the picks.

I, for one, think he's gone depending on our Playoff performance.

If we carry this same performance into the PO's, Otis has no chance. Arenas has doomed him.

"Hey... Otis... Um... you're fired..." Rich DeVos
"For what exactly?" Otis
"Not making a knee jerk trade at the deadline that probably wouldn't have helped out championship run anyways.." Rich DeVos
"Fair enough.." Otis

It is funny, these people crying about no trades being made, are the same people saying our roster is garbage, all we have is 3 point shooters that play no defense..
What makes you think other teams want our garbage 3 pt shooters that play no defense..

Ok, someone help me out. Does this mean we can't use our TPE until this summer?

And how was the majority of this roster made up?

"Trades."

LOL at the people thinking G-Force and Iggy aren't "upgrades"

Who the **** exactly are those "upgrades" that we can grab? D-Will? CP3? LOL.

G-Force and Iggy are the only 2 guys we even have a small chance at.

I'm not really mad at him not making a move (well, I guess I am, but I understand it).

But some of his earlier stunts are kind of ridiculous. It can't be right that we have the second highest payroll in the league, and easily a top 3 player, and still be the 4th seed, 10th overall.

No one wants our crap. You didn't see any kids giving you Charizards for your duplicate non-holographics did you? Would have been awesome, sure, but it's tough to pull off.

This.

Maybe it's best to wait and pick our spot. I get caught up in the "We aren't good enough make a move!" stuff too, but there are real money concerns to handle, not to mention that there are other teams to trade with and what you want doesn't automatically happen.
