we made a trade!

Post #1902 » by **pineappleheadindc** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:36 am

Bigs: Gortat, Nene, Hump, Gooden(?), FA?

I guess EG that this is good enough for next season?. So gave him a chance try Oubre?

Wait what....Melvin Ely again?

But he's KD's buddy, no?

KD at the stretch 4.

:nod:

I agree that Durant needs to play some stretch four, but I don't think it helps that he's going to know up front that he has to play exclusively the four. I'm sure he'd prefer to avoid banging against 4's for 36 minutes every night.

We will end up waiving him.

HAPPY TO SEE YOU HAPPY!

From a value standpoint, I think the Wiz did well. Two seconds -- likley mid to low seconds -- to move up in the first isn't bad.

Durant can play PF as a stretch 4. or Oubre can. this changes nothing

Durant can play PF -- if he wants to. Oubre at a lean 6'6"/6'7" might be hard pressed to guard the 4. I think Porter has a chance after an offseason or two.

Houston taking Dekker. Unreal...it feels like Ernie overthought this and didn't think Portis would be there at 19. Now he is, lol

Oubre seems like a solid enough prospect, but it's a bummer to give up assets for him when it's looking like another good prospect at a position of greater need will be available where you already were.

I like the EG leveraged second round picks to move up instead of those dreaded "cash considerations".

tontoz · Post #1912 » by **tontoz** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:38 am

Not sure what to make of this trade but YODA has Oubre in tier 4. Tier 5 has Grant, Booker and Cauley-Stein.

Oh My God POERTIS IS THERE AT 19 ! THE ****! Can the Wiz back out of this deal..... If we take Portis I think they back out, if not they are sending the pick to atlanta.

KD loves Oubre

dckingsfan · Post #1915 » by **dckingsfan** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:39 am

Wow, we could have had Portis and not give up picks?

JWizmentality · Post #1916 » by **JWizmentality** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:39 am

Wait we also gave up two second round picks. Jesus, Ernie hates the 2nd round.

gambitx777 · Post #1917 » by **gambitx777** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:40 am

I wish we had traded for 15 and kept 19

nuposse04 · Post #1918 » by **nuposse04** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:40 am

Portis is still there... i'm convinced the basketball gods hate us, LOL.

MikeTheKid · Post #1919 » by **MikeTheKid** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:41 am

EG probably just saw the KD IG pic with KD and Oubre and was just like F*** it do whatever to get Oubre!!!

Quoting myself (a la hands) from earlier in this thread.
