Thread for trade deadline 2020!

[subbed sub]

Just so everyone is aware this trade doesnt signal a rebuild. We wont know what the direction of this team is until the offseason. They very well may be planning on using that money to make a run at DDR for all we know. I just seen yesterday they want to be competitive next season.

Its us and the Knicks with the most free-agent money this offseason.

Don't forget our brand new shiny rookie picked at #8! (Or traded for a middle of the road asset ensuring mediocrity for a few more years. I haven't zeroed in on a "piston type of player yet for this front office but think along the lines of Blake.)It's a testament to just how terrible the front office is in that no one seemingly knows what the hell direction the team is taking.

What the hell is the tagline for next season going to be?

"We traded Andre for peanuts! Come on down and buy some peanuts!"

"Something begins here!"

"Basketball!"

Oh well. At least I can watch other teams start growing into good teams, or other teams who know how to make deals compete for a title. No pressure Sekou, but you better be an all-star next year.

We've some bad management teams here before but this current one is easily the worst of the lot. No other one is even remotely as bad as this one.
Just wow

The team that bought in Vilanueva, Gordon, and drafted Knight over Kemba (or anybody?), are worse than the current lot.

I will say that while it’s frustrating we couldn’t also deal keef, galloway, and rose, you have to wonder what deals were even available. once philly landed burcs and GR3, our most likely suitor was gone.

very little in terms of draft capital was moved today. snakebites said it earlier, mook was essentially the best player traded to a contender, easily better than any of our guys, and he could only fetch a pick in the 28-30 range.

James Ennis went for a 2nd so I would have to imagine that there was some kind of market for Morris and Galloway, Morris in particular due to his lower salary.
I don't think they had any intention of trading Rose as evidenced by their outrageous ask for a lotto pick, plus the injury might have soured teams on him.

A rebuild isn't allowing young players to run roughshod and pick up bad habits without any accountability. That's what get you the sad sack perennial lottery teams. Casey slammed the effort of Sekou, Bone and King the last game or so before the deadline - if we traded Kieff along with Dre, cut Knight, traded Galloway - all of a sudden Casey is in a situation where he might need to play the kids in spite of poor effort or bad decision making.
