At worst it's a neutral move.


Check in with the Bulls and see how that mind set is working with Zach LaVine right now. Hell LaVine isn’t even 30 yet and they can’t give him away even with a 1st round draft pick attached to him.

Okay, we found one contract in the NBA. It'll get traded eventually. Let some teams strike out first. Again, his game should age well with size and shooting as said. Someone will make the trade if needed.

This is not true at all, bad contracts are still bad contracts.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

I didn't really want him anyway. He doesn't fit our timeline. He takes reps away from our core players. I'd rather just focus on garnishes to compliment our young core versus adding a main dish. Also he's old and on the decline.

We all knew this was going to happen.

What would suck is George goes to Philly and they somehow get KCP as well.

And Klay goes to Dallas or LA

OKC/Detroit nabs Hartenstein

And then we’re fiddling with our thumbs with our tail tucked between our legs.

:P Can’t wait for everyone that wanted him to start talking trash about him and saying he’s old and washed up anyway if this happens.
