Eating Crow

[shrink]

I expected more teams to work harder to get under the lux, particularly the teams that were close. 12 teams over the lux? The most I can ever remember is 5-6! I also pointed out that teams would pay a lot to slide under. NOH didn't have to (I ate that crow last month), but did WAS?

I thought it would take Gallinari to move Curry, and with both players still in place, I guess that's a push. I thought it would cost a lot to move Jared Jeffries, but it might be worth it to NYK to have a chance to bring in two elite free agents. I have to admit, I didn't think they'd pay as much as they did.

I never in a million years thought HOU would get this much for T-Mac, and I think Morey was the clear winner of the Trade Deadline trades, though most teams did something to move in the direction of their goals. More winners than losers.

I said WAS wouldn't get Hickson in a Jamison trade, because they really needed to move that salary. that turned out to be true.

I suspected since the beginning of the season, though I didn't say it, that Boozer would get dealt in a small talent downgrade that also cut salary from UTA. I get two-thirds of a crow on that one. I think the Jazz may have considered both options, but with their big success, decided to keep him.

I didn't believe CHI rumors that they would get a mid 1st for Tyrus Thomas. Crow!

I thought Gomes would be moved by the trade deadline to a contender, probably BOS. Crow!


Overall, I really enjoyed this trade deadline, which is like opening christmas presents for me. Lots of deals, often built around finances. I hope this board doesn't become a ghost town in a few days.

Ooh, I got this one right. I figured that if the only offers the Jazz got for Boozer were worse players on expiring contracts, that they would keep him. That makes me feel better

But I DID also get wrong that the Clippers would not get any keeper value for Camby at all. Is there more crow for dessert?

Can i get Crow Ala cart?
I thought Lakers would get an upgrade at starting PG. Really how did i get that one wrong we have the worst PG in the leauge it couldnt of been that hard to get an upgrade =(:::

ShanWow would be the starting PG by the new years* checks roster nope E Fisher still starting*

ShanWow would win the duck contest......

Lakers would lose 60% of there games without Kobe

Lakers would get Hinrich for Sasha Morrison and a 2nd (who knows if Lakers could of pulled it off but Buss pulled the plug)

Well, Washington fans have been proven correct across the board.

We expected a huge ransom for our expensive veterans and, as evidenced by a post trade record of 2-0, we obviously got it.

I was right that portland would make a trade for a big. however, I was way off with the magnitude of the trade. I figured the trade would be a smaller, more useless swap like patty mills for dj mbegna , not one actually involving players in portland's rotation. respect to pritchard for making a move.
