Perry is terrible. He just made a trade to make a trade. Despite Willy's flaws, we got no guaranteed nba player out of this. Willy was first all rookie team on his rookie contract.

basically a lot of people making this out to be a travesty and then others saying it's not bad. Depends on where you stand on Willy/what other moves they make in addition to this.

The people that always criticize things have been critical and the people that always support things have been supportive.

Yet you're adding pages

shtolky is obsessed with telling everyone this trade is not bad.

It's going to keep me up at nights. I couldn't be more obsessed about this travesty of a deal. You got me.

I gave all my players nicknames. I don't think I've won a game since I've been giving him big minutes. Which is the goal. I don't **** around.

Yeah, that's definitely what people are doing. Acting like it's a travesty.

You talk about hyperbole..criticizing a trade and calling it awful isn't hyperbole. Acting like people are throwing themselves off bridges to support your argument is hyperbole.

Have a feeling Knicks dangle one of the 2nds in a KOQ or Lee deal to extract a 1st or young player

You're not allowed to make sense, bro.

It's all about supporting Mills and Perry.

SHowcasing willy or not you weren't getting a 1st rounder for him. He is what he is.... a low ceiling bench big. He has too many flaws right now to project him to be anything else than that...

I never said I expected a first. Hell, I wouldn't have traded him at all.

That's fine but we have to see the next moves after this trade before we judge it. All-Rookie teams mean nothing to me. Actually watching WHG tells me he destined to be a bench big. Getting 2 2nds and another young player to me seems like at least a non-loss on that deal (in today's market) regardless of whether we played him or not.

I hear you, but I'm not confident enough in Perry and Mills to be optimistic. I also don't believe you can get a fair assessment from watching WHG this year since he was never able to get into a rhythm thanks to lack of playing time from our win-now coach and overloaded front court thanks to the Melo trade. Last year he looked a lot better, that much can't be denied. Good enough to keep him on an extremely cheap contract and see how he develops. But whatever, what's done is done, let's see what these clowns do next.

because that would have made too much sense.

anyway, i knew they were dumping him. but this is only the appetizer. the noah plus chicago 2nd/possible future first for biyombo/elfrid is the real main course in this sh*t buffet we're being served.

Not much of a market for Centers and we have too many. Draft picks have increased in value while most teams know they cannot compete with the top teams that are stacked.

In prior years we could have went after a 1st for him.

People thought they would give up on Monk already for a backup Center? That's madness.

I don't care about this trade honestly. Lost little and received little

Does the order really matter as long as we do end up trading both?

I don't know your GM but maybe he's just trying to accumulate picks to eventually try and dish off Noah
