Trade Deadline Rumours & Discussion Thread III (Thurs Feb 9 3pm)

[Duffman100]

Can you actually get banned from these forums for posting X number of anti-FVV posts? Because I plan on posting anti-FVV comments routinely until he is dealt from the team.

When it enters spamming territory, yes.

Yeah nobody is spamming anything. Go through my post history and stop threatening new posters who you should be welcoming to add to the diversity of the community here. I've been lurking these forums regularly since like 2004 and finally decided to chime in. Being told "move on" is pretty low, have some decency. If you want to ban me because you think I'm trying to flood the message board for whatever reason go ahead, I won't lose any sleep.

So weird we have this influx of people 'lurking' the forum who show up and decide to start posting. They also starting spamming in the exact same way as other posters who have left. Just bizarre.

Either way, you've been warned. Do that what you will.

One of our biggest problems is that we can't score.

Dude is putting up 40 a game and you don't want?

Ross got 51 once, Thomas isn't that good and trading for him now is buying high on a guy that's an underdog to ever be an average SG in this league.

You do realize...this is Cam's 2ND 40+ point game IN A ROW, right? Stop with the Terence Ross comparisons until you have seen him play.

He averages 16 minutes a game. If he was as good as you think he is, he'd be playing like 30+ minutes every night.

what credible league sources would hoopshype have? yeah, not buying that one.

Scotto very good and connected.

That Simmons one seems stupid but we know for sure theres legs of us wanting Claxton for FVV

Found this post on reddit yesterday shortly before it was taken down. Make of it what you will. Could be fake, but there is mention trade talks centered around Claxton and Thomas

Spoiler:

It all sounds true.

yeah, they offered that deal but no way we'd take that. That's how I read that

If you need to watch one game to form your opinion of a player, you're probably not good at your job lol.

Yeah seriously, I'd be really concerned if Masai just pulls the trigger on a deal for Cam Thomas after tonight's game.

This guy is the most selfish player in the league and doesn’t guard anyone. But of course people are judging him by 2 games where he’s on a heater.

I think he might've had a 40 burger last year. Cam Thomas is a certified bucket tho, I'm not doubting that, he's has had more than a couple of good scoring games.

Defense tho, I unno. It's not like he gets a lot of burn to find out.

As a throw in I wouldn't complain, we've spent 3 yrs watching Flynn play and I'm not sure he's scored 80pts in a szn lol

I find it funny that it says OG is particularly upset with Fred but then stresses below that there is no problem between OG and Fred

[Tha Cynic]

Not sure if Cam Thomas or DWade with a 3.

[TheRaptor!]

Second youngest player EVER aside from Lebron to go 40+ 2 games in a row

Are any of yall even watching the game rn?

[Yallbecrazy]

You would trade Pascal and Fred in a deal with Simmons in it who is consider perhaps the worst contract in the league because you get two picks and a swap and Claxton? I like Claxton but come on.

I said nothing of Fred.

I think Pascal and Koloko for Claxton + Simmons and picks is great for us.

The post I was quoting had a trade proposed involving Fred and Pascal. Simmons is an extremely negative asset. Pascal was nba 2nd team. Pascal for Claxton, neutral filler salary and three 1sts and swaps is a low end return.

I know that, but your post was strictly about Simmons + Claxton for Pascal. Also, there's a good chance those unprotected picks 3-5 years out are really good once Durant is no longer good and Pascal might choose to leave in two years.

He's playing behind KD and Kyrie...those guys might be getting more minutes...but since Kyrie's been traded and KD's been out...he's put some really good scoring games.

[REJECTEDBYCLARK]

Claxton and Simmons alongside OG and Scottie and Masai would be trying to recreate Detroit Pistons basketball circa 20 years ago when they would hold teams to like 60-70 pts a night

[TheRaptor!]

OT question yall,

if a potential And-1 shot is blocked, does it count as a block?

[WuTang_CMB]

If Masai is taking his sweet time just to waste Clipper's time, I'm all for it

make them think they have a deal and then fk them in the end

sounds like a plan

...while scoring 50 points a night ourselves...

[vulture]

So many burner accounts in this thread. It’s so freaking obvious too.

[Tha Cynic]

Cam Thomas is really having his Linsanity moment.

[Childs]

If Simmons ends up being a Raptor, the thought of committing seppuku outside the Scotiabank Arena might come to my mind.
