Lopez not being traded before the deadline will be the most depressing thing ive witnessed as a fan since petro's death and buck williams being traded.

Every moment that passes makes this season more and more of a joke, to even think we could be a darkhorse team to get like 4-6 seed makes me feel like an idiot. We had potential, but the second it became clear that Lopez and Dwill are just gone, a smart GM makes trades, gets on the phone and works to adjust. All BK does is keep saying the same ****, "I think this team can compete"... no ****, we all DID, but we ALL HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME NOW, THEY WONT!

I thought that this team would be competitive as well, but Lopez and Williams are some serious bitches and Johnson is on his last legs. If those 3 played at a high level we'd be cruising, but they don't so in turn more responsibility gets shifted to guys that are roleplayers and the end result? Horrible basketball.

Billy King is an ass hole

Man if we don't make a move, this season could end up a disaster. Well even more than it already has been so far.

As the time moves on and the less we hear on the trade front, the most discouraged I become. This season has been painful as is, but I, like many others on this board have held out hope that a trade could change things... that last breath of fresh air is on the verge of being ripped away from us. That is too frustrating a thought to have

There's chaos around the league. Dragic, Reggie Jackson, Kanter have all demanded a trade. Lance wants to leave Charlotte and they want to dump him. PHX/NOP/OKC are all desperate to make the playoffs - especially OKC. The teams that aren't GSW, SAS, MEM in the Western playoffs are looking for extra pieces to make the run at the title. Sacramento is always looking to make a splash. Lots of Eastern teams like Indy, Miami, Charlotte and Boston are stuck between rebuilding and making a playoff push.

There's no chance nothing happens on our end. Too much chaos around the league. We're going to get caught in something. Some sort of 3 teamer.

Reggie requested a trade... Chad Ford thinks BKN may be a possibility....

Post #867 » by **CalamityX12** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 7:16 pm

I wonder if OKC would look at Utah for Kanter if Lopez doesn't come through.... that's a good backup plan for them...

Reggie, Perks, Lamb and/or PJ3 for Lopez?

I felt this way... but the more i read and hear im not pretty convinced we wont make any moves. not even blatche. which is really annoying.

my biggest fear though is that if we dont make a deal king goes and does something disasterous, like extend lopez on a 3/36 deal or something

Prokorov · Post #869 » by **Prokorov** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 7:20 pm

I still dont see anyway reggie comes here for lopez. wouldnt be wise for OKC. if westbrook goes down they'd be cooked. and reggie has shown some really good play in the postseason. i dont think they risk lopez not working out and taking on salary for that. i think they do it if all it costs them is perk and lamb. but i cant see reggie. they could sign and trade him in the offseason and get more value

Lamak · Post #870 » by **Lamak** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 7:29 pm

Reggie Jackson just wants to get paid, I don't want another overpaid idiot here.

Post #871 » by **CalamityX12** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 7:39 pm

Don't forget they also have Waiters and OKC, outside of Westbrook, isn't really PG driven.... should Russell take a hit I think that's where Waiters will shine the most should Reggie depart.

So then we let him walk at the end of the year. or sign and trade him (we'd be pretty close or even under the tax after this move if we let perk walk and KG expire)

We won't ever find out if Jackson is obtainable.

thank you kind sir!

I want King to explain to us fans why he doesn't like Lance. Does Lance threaten teammates? Brings thug to a whole new meaning? Berates his teammates and coaches? Doesn't shower? Eats with his mouth open? Doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom? Awful cologne? WTF is it!!!! lol

Great so we dont want lance, we dont want jackson, and we dont want blatche...

SMH. that trio and any 2 nba bums would be our current team in a 7 game series.

Whatever he's done - he's lost the trust of 2 solid organizations and group of players in less than a year. That's pretty impressive.
